EPTI saw the mention of Link too late to watch the game though, so I can't talk about that, I'll admit. :/ Does he play her often apart from that one game?

If visual re-work creates a new wave of fotm Annie prepare yourselves for constant bitching (even on TL) from bads who can't deal with her lane phase. The Annie bitching of early S2 was worse than how much people bitched about Darius. Annie fotm? Fuck she counters every lane with her stun + damage and 100%->0's entire team fights. Goes out of FOTM with no changes? Obviously she loses lane to everyone and she relies too much on flash to do anything in a teamfight. Distortion seems really good on her, with how reliant she is on flash to get the most out of Tibbers initiates. | ||

God damn it Riot. Why did you remove the smirk from Frostfire Annie? That was probably the best Annie skin just because she had a smirk on her face.

Also I am pretty sure Furor is better on her. | ||

She has some damage fall off but with E plus AP tanky items you can usually survive to get off enough damage in fights to be relevant damage wise. Well her R's AOE is kind of small (seriously, her R is really not that much different from casting her W a second time) and her ratios are pretty low. | ||

If you're limiting your thinking to ranged AD carries then most aren't capable junglers, but we don't need all carries (ranged or otherwise) to be competent junglers for this idea to be functional. It only takes one or two champions who break from the norm for alternatives such as this to work. On January 16 2013 18:30 UniversalSnip wrote: can't say that assessment seems quite honest to me considering how late you're likely to sell the machete My counter-criticism is that the only reason you're likely to hold on to the Machete for so long is because you're not likely to need the slot, nor the 210g, until later in the game. If, at any point past the first couple of clears, 210g or that slot is the difference between getting an important item or not, then you should just sell the Machete. Machete is only a large burden if you hold onto it longer than you need to. | ||

If the jungle farm could outdo lane farm if you're constantly farming, you could do a strategy with something like 3 safe solo lanes (people who can 1v2), a carry jungler who farms constantly, and a roaming support who just appears wherever the enemy 1v2 lane is. Maybe like Zilean, Yorick, Irelia, Zyra, Tryndamere. If that could work I'd be amused as all hell. | ||

Also I am pretty sure Furor is better on her. Now my Goth Annie skin doesn't look like shit, I approve of the change. Her model wasn't bad, but it wasn't up to their current standards. Also i regards to whoever mentioned Darius not getting nerfed , they are still trying out to figure out how to rework his kit, it's going to be more than a simple numbers tweak when he gets changed.

I kind of hope the SS items become worth while, makes getting machete/SS seem like much less of a waste. | ||

Tried it last night. Went Flask + wards and pots. Got Pickpocket and the champ damage reduction masteries. Proceeded to zone the opposing ez pretty hard, keeping him at 50%hp or lower for most of lane. My ad carry kinda sucked so I think we could have forced the issue a lot more. GP also pretty strong against Taric lane. Kept wasting the stun on me lol. I wasn't sure what to get for items afterwards. Went sightstone into warmogs lol. Is there a goal or strength your trying to capitalize on? I just tried to Q on cooldown the enemy AD in lane and use my ult and E to help team-wise.... My experience wasn't great since mid and top got fed and I had one of the better kda ratios. | ||

Pick one.  Its passive doesn't really combo well with other items too.And I agree that Annie's model was pretty fine. Not gorgeous, but far from ugly, especially considering she was one of the first champions. Seeing her that angry did surprise me, tho. :< | ||

I think the classic argument against support GP was that he's just a worse version of Nunu, but the fact Q procs melee Pickpocket gives him an interesting advantage. | ||

I don't know hey. He was playing her in ranked duo with Chauster too and wrecking face there. Looking at lolking shows recent stats as 5-0 Syndra so guessing he's picked/picking her up. | ||

, 300 gold sink right there, and possibly the 2nd tier machete item gunna cost a lot of gold too.
