It takes Annie to Flash into you while possibly whiffing her Ult while having to waste her Stacked passive. The counterplay to her when she misses is so damn high because getting the passive stacks again just takes too long. Other mages such as Viktor or Lissandra have more reliable CC compared to Annie having to charge up her spells just so she can actually waste a Flash into a suicidal engage.

That's even considering she has Flash. When she doesn't, she barely has 700~ range on her main engage tool and if she whiffs it, that's it. There goes Annie chance to kill you because, realistically, Annie won't get the chance to stack up 4 spells again to gain access to her passive again.

This is actually a very big problem and the reason why she has such high ratios. Should she miss a spell, she does nothing for the next 5-30 seconds. In a teamfight, with such a squishy target as Annie(no, RoA Annie is garbage), that means death.
