^That's interesting.

I've personally always considered this game to have a very low learning curve, but I'm a competitive person, and actively seek out improvement, so you might count me as being too serious.

the smartcast range thing has been an option for a while if you modified the game files. there was something about it that bothered me though, i'll try it out and see if it's fixed.

and how will those buffs make viktor "very viable"? the only noticeable one is a .25 second faster stun
increased missile speed on Q big deal for viktor, he would get the shield back before counter harass now.

btw I can't wait for this swf LoL tournament boy o boy!

For those of you who use LoL Recorder, don't with this new patch.

SomeRandomRedditGuy said:
Apparently using LoLRecorder brings up a Bugsplat! error in the new patch when you run League. I had a game with 6 players disconnected at once.
From LoL Recorder guy:

Hey guys, unfortunately Riot did not inform us about these changes which appear to have caused this crash issues. Please try the latest build if you want to help out: http://www.leaguereplays.com/download/ and let us know how you go on our forums:

I've implemented a quick fix, but need help testing... I only found out a few minutes ago myself on logging in...

I wonder if we'll ever see an Eve fix.
50% of the time when I pick her in solo, someone dodges.

If Veigar can be played in a viable manner then so can Annie.

Eve is the only hero I would wager on not being a viable pick against competent opponents.
Interesting.

I was just curious because I hardly ever see her being used in high elo matches nor tournament matches, but it's my understanding that she's still an extremely solid AP with one of the most damaging bursts in the game? Why have people stopped using her as much?

While I consider annie a strong pick her lane phase is mediocre at best. A lot of the current popular picks are AP carries who can farm while harassing you freely (like ahri, xerath, cassiopeia). What I believe is holding annie back is her lack of mobility and the range of her Q. While her flame shield is cool, I believe it should have some other effects such as a small movement buff (like orianna) or possibly dashes her forward or backward. Just something so that she can close the gap.

Her MU's mid aren't that favorable. Lot of longer range AP champs harass her first and then she can't harass them unless she tries flash ult ignite etc. Mana wise she also gets ***** for trying to harass or trade with people. Then if you want to farm, a lot of mid champs can push the wave vs her early where she will have trouble last hitting accurately under tower, while they go off doing wraiths or other ****.

I see. That makes sense.

The way I play Annie I try not to harass frequently but rather just catch the opponent with a ******** burst at LVL 4 or LVL 6. I agree she needs a remake as well and that her W spell being changed would be great.

I don't have a problem mid with Annie....but then again I'm not high elo either

also why would you change her W? that spell is great. I've been maxing it first lately and its been helping me out pretty nicely

I think the only mid lane I absolutely lose is Annie v Morde. I've won all the common lanes as of late.

I just use the Q for the stun and then W and then walk back until they are like half health. then I Q -> W -> Ignite -> possibly another Q if they don't flash away. I don't really have a problem trading damage either because you might hit me once but I hit you twice for way more damage. (plus I usually always start with boots + pots)

I do agree they need to do something with E though. it needs some kind of extra advantage. a move speed buff would be hot.

I'm glad someone agrees with me, her E needs to either block damage instead of increasing her mr/armor and should also grand her some form of movement (I mean freaking orianna has the same spell but better).

as of late I really don't grab it until like I need an extra charge before a gank or something. by six I'm usually 2 points in Q 3 in W and 1 in ult.

Annie isn't bad, per say, it's just that she really isn't good. All of the traditional AP mids, generally speaking, can blow up a single character who isn't building MR. Annie's "advantage" is that her stun can come in AoE form with Tibbers, but so can Veigar, Morgana, and Kennen (off the top of my head) and they all do it better.

She just got outdated and, unlike other outdated champs, hasn't been reworked.
