What makes Annie dangerous
Annie charges a stun on her fourth ability cast (shown by a white glow), then combos her point-and-click ultimate — summoning a bear (Tibbers) for a huge AoE burst that stuns on cast. Her all-in is guaranteed once her stun is up: no skillshot to dodge, just point and delete.
How to play against Annie
- 1Watch her stun charge (the white glow around her at 4 stacks) — when it's up, respect her all-in and don't step up.
- 2Bait her stun on a spell before she can Tibbers you — make her use it on a Q/W, then trade freely.
- 3She's immobile with no escape. Dive her or all-in when her stun and ult are on cooldown.
- 4Magic resist and a Banshee's/Zhonya's blunt her point-and-click burst since there's no skillshot to dodge.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Immobile with no escape — easy to dive.
- ✓Stun charge is visible — respect it, punish when it's down.
- ✓Short-ranged for a mage.
- ✓Squishy; magic resist and burst answer her.
