Annie FAQs

Q: What makes Annie a good beginner champion?

A: Annie is simple to learn because she has just one mechanic: when your stun is up, blow all of your abilities at the same time on an enemy. Additionally, once summoned, Tibbers can help you deal a lot of extra damage without even trying :p. Annie is considered by many to be the easiest champion to learn how to play in League of Legends, yet she is still powerful and fun to play!

Q: What is one of Annie's greatest strengths?

A: Her stun has a large area-of-effect and no cast delay. She can stop just about any enemy in their tracks, and if they are reduced in health, she will likely delete them too.

Q: What is one of Annie's weaknesses that I should be aware of?

A: Her spells have a relatively short range. In one-on-one fights, this is rarely an issue; she deals so much damage and can back away while her target is stunned. However, if she's facing many enemies, she's left open too close to her enemies with all of her abilities on cooldown. In teamfights, she won't last long without support.

Additional Annie Build Insights

League of Legends Annie players will find her to be a challenging champ to build out properly. You will notice that her build varies when she is fighting either well-rounded or specialized team comps, showing you shouldn't choose the same Annie build every single round of League of Legends

The best items to include in your champ's build are: Luden's Tempest, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Shadowflame. Players who added these items in their gear had a greater winrate than players who used other item builds for Annie. Similarly, if you are battling a mixed enemy team arrangement, you should strongly consider getting her the Domination, and Sorcery runes. In recent games, she won the greatest fraction of her rounds when equipped with these runes.

We established our Annie build guidance by analyzing 32,561 recently ranked League of Legends games with her in them. We only propose the best winrate Annie builds that have been built by ranked League players enough times for us to propose them. With so many matches in our dataset, we are confident in our suggested builds.
