As far as i know low range is one of the reason she is not competitive. Some range values might be too high but I can assure you there counter play and is pretty much why this suggestion is made because Annie right now LIVE has barely any counterplay at all.

For instance in my idea has short travel time so you can have a way to avoid it. Also it does not stun anymore

I am not sure. Maybe cast range could be a bit shorter or maybe the AoE is a bit too much but the idea is counterplay and higher mastery level
