Regarding Annie:

What about if she loses a stack every x seconds out of combat instead of losing everything? It still makes her Stun avaible for a lane-switch gank or when moving towards a teamfight, but gives her a down-time when she's forced to recall (unless she defs the base, in which case her stun is up again is a reasonable time).
