The issue that I have is that it baits a lot of people into buying health + AP items on her when her sustained and upfront battle damage is pretty low. For a Traditional Nuke Mage that has a very conditional way to apply her CC, getting more HP and less burst is not gonna help her overall kit.

Most people to this day still buy RoA on Annie despite being a slow item to build up on her. For the time that RoA starts becoming useful, you might as well spent that gold into a Morello or a Luden. It helps her to actually do her job to burst and kill a target rather than trying to survive after an engage, especially considering Molten Shield nerfs.
