It's hard to call perfect for teaching newer players when her kit can be quite confusing to them. a stun-loaded won't actually stop you from being stunned, despite being out of range. It looks like a projectile skillshot due to the animation, but really it basically just instantly marks everyone in the area and after the cast time ends it applies all effects to them. Actually, her ultimate does the same. This doesn't make sense - if you Flash the or the wave of flame, you shouldn't get stunned afterwards.

With one stack, a full Annie combo will leave you unable to dodge the stun, yet with two stacks or more, her stun may miss. Newer players know that an Annie with more stacks is closer to being able to stun you with one of her un-dodge-able spells but that they will probably be safe if she has only one stack - yet this is not the case.

Not only does her need an update because it's bland, boring, and basically useless, but her kit is confusing to the exact players who she's trying to teach to play; the exact players who need a simple, non-confusing champion to introduce them to the game. Someone like, however, is much simpler than Annie, with none of the confusing problems she faces, no stun that you didn't see coming or skillshot that you should have dodged but still hit you or useless spell that you only use in order to do something else. Even is more clear and less confusing than Annie - this should not be the case. If she's perfect for anything, it's being a high priority candidate on the immobile mage rework list.
