1) I know Annie's Q is a target skill and not a skillshot, but I was using it merely to give a measure of range. Burning Dread has marginally more range than Fiddlestick's Terrify (which is, yes, targetted) but I was unsure of how to balance the range/existance of a skillshot to the damage.

2) With a moderate amount of CDR (which any Mid Mage should get in some form), more of these abilities are usable as their ranks, along with that of the ult, are leveled. As stated before, I'll be adjusting her main damage in some form.

3) Malzahar lacks ways of disengaging that I tried to impliment via CC here. In my opinion, his Q is one of the more reliable skills to dodge in a 1v1 scenario which brings his only non-ult form of CC. He has more damage potential but less reliability for it.

4) I don't see her 1v1 being that more "toxic" than what could be compared with Lux whose snare would be 1 second from the worse hit and then 5 seconds of slow that goes from 20 to 36% (less slow at lower ranks, and controlled movement through the slow) at rank 1 alongside having a shield to herself. Not to mention the passive procs.

5) I put a duration limit and static cooldown on the passive, once again, in a balancing attempt that was overcompensation.

6) I guess these are the problems rooted from your first custom champion not being a role you're profficient at. I'll try to make adjustments accordingly.
