Not mean to sound offensive but in that post you sound as if ridiculous damage (burst or not) packed with cc isn't literally omni-present in LoL. The most blatant example for me is Veigar ult- he just needs some farm, 2-3 items max and he deletes pretty much everyone not tanky even from full health (point and click ability too).

I don't believe Annie is in that exact spot you describe, but that's just my opinion. Personally, I believe she is a safe pick (even a first one); she has the range to farm safely and yeah, she can blow up people (because of her high scaling and ratios). But she is not a Garen-teed (why remove that joke Rito Q.Q) victory. Her strategy almost always requires her to Flash-engage and that is a double-edged sword. She can be killed as easily as she can 100-0 someone (or easier even).

Now, about anti-fun champs.. Most seemed to think that Soraka is the #1 "public enemy" that ruined all the fun in the game, expressed it (in every way possible) and as a result, Rito nerfs came (and more are on their way). Regarding a possible update for her, I don't think that's in the near future; people like Taric, Akali, Yorick, Warwick and many others are in the priority list (and I'm not sure if Annie is there at all).

P.S. I can relate to that sentiment, believe me. I was (and still am, to a high degree) really angry with what they did to Quinn. Yes, her damage needed buffs, she was probably the weakest adc out there (along with Miss Fortune pre-rework) but RIP old ult, RIP Valor in general etc- one good thing but many bad ones (for me at least). And at first, they removed her blind as well leaving her just empty-handed literally, going basically like "I just hope I'll burst you down before you burst me down first" (which was in the official patch notes btw). With her blind back and the fact that her damage is finally up to par, we have something. But I still miss many of her old gameplay elements.

Whatever you choose to do, hope it ends up the best for you.
