Are you playing jungle mostly? Because then you might want to main a ganker (like panth)+ a superfarmer (like mundo) combo, so you can pick what works better with your team.

AD sona with triforce is legit man. You have hella burst and you push down towers crazy fast.

The thing about AD Kennen, though, is that he has a toolkit built around stunning people and racing around at top speed and, because he uses energy, his utility in that regard isn't dependent on what items he builds. It's actually also a very useful toolkit for an AD player (especially with his W scaling).

AD Malz seems like it he doesn't have anything that really makes going AD more worthwhile than on anyone else. I mean, his ult is a channeled spell, so he can't even auto-attack during his biggest cc.

On the other hand - I can't knock it till I've tried it, of course. And if others are having success with it, then it obviously has merit. Whether or not a large part of that merit is simply shock-value and catching other players off guard or not remains to be seen.

So I was just thinking about this..

a while back ago, why was everyone saying Veigar was awful and one of the worst AP carries?


'Cause Veigar's laning sucks. And it still sucks. Literally one of the worst AP mid lanes you can play. Fucking Ryze is a better laner than Veigar. Combine his terrible laning with the fact that all he can really do in a team fight is single target burst someone down in terms of damage and that's a pretty big reason why he was considered underpowered for so long.

I don't think he's bad. I just don't think he brings anything to the table that other APs can't do better. Almost every AP has a better lane phase, every other bursty AP except Leblanc does AoE burst, and champions like Ryze are stronger than him late game anyways. Literally every reason people can come up with for why Annie is underplayed can be applied to Veigar but Annie's lane phase is a lot better and her team fighting is also a lot better imo.


The only reason Annie is underplayed is because she's boring as hell.
I remember after they overbuff her a fe month ago. She was everyhere, in any game. And you could be very bad and still roll over people because they buffed her so hard.

Then people realized she was still boring and now nobody play her anymore.

V1.0.0.122:
Disintegrate:
Base damage reduced to 85/125/165/205/245 from 90/130/170/210/250.
Ability power ratio reduced to 0.7 from 0.75.
Incinerate:
Base damage reduced to 80/130/180/230/280 from 85/135/185/235/285.
Ability power ratio reduced to 0.75 from 0.8.

This nerf, coupled with the fact that at the time, many of the popular mid APs were APs she has matchups ranging from mediocre to poor against, was why she stopped getting played. It's not just because she was boring that people stopped playing her.

Eh. Annie being underplayed is more the result of a few minor nerfs and the surge in popularity of more abusive mid laners like pre-nerf Brand. Annie's laning isn't exactly the greatest seeing how her ability to win a lane is more or less dependent on her passive. She wins trades when it's up, but loses trades when it's down.

His voidlings have 1:1 ad scaling and scale with arp, saying he doesnt have anything that really makes going AD more worthwhile than on anyone else is just plain stupid. Ofc it's not as good as your traditional ad carry, but ad kennen isn't as good as ad trist or any other ad carry with a steroid either.

Well, I guess I'm just 'plain stupid' then...

In my defense, I hadn't known that the scaling on the voidlings was actually that good.

Those nerfs are literally the smallest possible nerfs given that they increment damage 5 at a time and ap ratios 0.05 at a time. Cosmetic. I can't say why her sudden popularity dimmed to nothing but if I had to guess I'd probably point at her short range vs the high number of skillshot mids these days.

Because that's how it goes in the league community, base manapool nerfed by 10? Worthless champ better try something else. Oh this is actually a pretty good champ better play this. Annie? wtf is an annie"?
Riot really should upgrade their champion packs, they were good when the game was new, you got most of the champs, now you barely get any and you don't get any of the newer ones.

Also, her late game. Most of the common AP mids now-a-days have either reliable/huge amounts of CC, sustain damage (spellvamp) or high amounts of mobility, so they can survive much easier against melees late-game. Main reason why AoE bursters like Annie/Brand aren't being played that much anymore.

At low Elos a good Tibbers still win you games. Had one with a farmed Vayne (outscaling our farmed Nasus that would rather build IE than FH) and we won teamfights when we grouped up and she actually managed to hit her ult-stun on Vayne, allowing us to finish her off if Annie couldn't, and then it was cleanup.

She's really reliant on flash tho, and in the above case it's something Xerath probably could have done too.


Also, I find her laning really obnoxious. I'm willing to listen to advice, but her ability to trade with her stun, or just simply abuse her range and low cd on Q to bully long cd- or combo reliant- champs as soon as level 1 makes her one of the most annoying laners mid in my experience, if she ever decides to play balls out aggressive and zone you.
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

CLG ran their bursttactics tho, see hero kill hero style. First target called get focussed, with a sure stun and burst that Annie is pretty good then. If you are just kiting it gets pretty meh
