Annie kit update idea

Annie, the Dark Child - Kit Update Idea

This idea is about giving Annie more options on how she uses Pyromania, which will enhance Annie's basic abilities in a different way reducing the frustration to play against a little bit by giving better counterplay as well as expanding her mastery level, which would make her more fun to play as and would be more competitive

Abilities

Pyromania

Pyromania

Casting ability grands 1 stack of Pyromania. At 4 stacks Annie's next basic ability, which is not on cooldown, will have additional effect based on the ability itself.

If Annie does not cast an ability for 10 seconds she loses all stacks of Pyromania

The Idea

Pyromania works the same way as before but now instead being only a stun ability it will enhance next ability, based on the ability used, in a different way giving Annie choices of how she wants to use her abilities – stun, damage/shredder, or survivability. Tibbers' passive will reduce her basic abilities cooldowns when a Pyromania enhanced ability is being used.

• [Q] Disintegrate allows Annie to farm safely from better range which is a Skillshot that does magic damage in Area in front of the 1st enemy collided.
  • Pyromania enhances the travel distance and will stun damaged units.
• [W] Incinerate is damage focused ability that does magic damage to enemies in a cone.
  • Pyromania enhancement will deal extra damage over time and will shred enemies magic resistance which can work great against tanks and enemies that stack MR.
• [E] Molten Shield is oriented for Tank Annie and is a survival tool. It has more flat damage and scales less with AP to benefit items like Thornmail and Sunfire Cape.
  • Pyromania enhancement grands movement speed allowing Annie to escape from dangerous situations for example when being ganked or allowing her to gank and chase her opponents.
• [R] Summon Tibbers allows Annie to initiate from a longer, safer distance. It does magic damage in massive area slowing down enemies giving which gives extra utility to her team. Upon casting, it grants Annie full stacks of Pyromania instantly.
  • Tibbers also has a passive in which when she casts Pyromania Enhanced ability it reduces the cooldown which will allowing her the combo system.
  • Tibbers gets no changes.
