Also, Annie's ability to basically get a free kill at 6 is kind of the greatest thing on Earth.

He says that but don't believe him. His real deal is that he abuses khazix for freelo.

Annie's reliant on flash, but it's a pretty fair deal considering Annie with Flash = guaranteed big play.

Really to be fair, Annie can flash initiate, but in most team comps these days you're not relying on the AP burst mage to initiate fights.

And yeah, Annie flash ult stuns are pretty goddamn hard to stop.

I think she's super strong and I don't see why she doesn't get more play.

He was giggling more gleefully than Annie's voice actor while playing Kha'Zix yesterday...

Also Viktor's laser is shorter than TF's Q (otherwise I'd be more than happy to poke them while they cower under tower >_>).

Ravenous Hydra also turns jungler ganks on like toplane where you have a large wave pushing towards your tower into something completely hilarious.



What order do you build those items in? Hydra first ?

Yeah, Hydra's awesome if you get it on like first back(before boots). You'll be able to trade like a boss every time they get in W range and your burst will be wonderful.

It's kind of meh if you cannot farm / are behind because you want the BotRK reasonably soon afterwards, but Zed tends to suck horribly while behind anyway and he farms like a boss(even moreso with hydra) so I don't see that as that big of a problem...

Hydra so good on fuckton of melee champs. It's a really nice replacement for bloodthirster.

In case anyone was wondering: Annie still completely ridiculous. Really good against assassins and stuff mid.

Only a few people caught it on my stream last night, but I played her as my last game. I was 2/1 at this point I think. Got 2 man ganked, 1v3 vs Kat, Malphite, and Nasus. Killed 2 and walked away as my team came to clean up the 3rd.

Really glad she's not popular, I wanna take ALL the credit for her.

pr0lly played her in the LCS so you won't get too much hipster credit for playing her.


I can vouch that Soniv was pimping Annie at PAX a few weeks ago, but there's no proof. =P

Oh I believe him, but the general LoL public won't lol.


'Tis quite sad really.

There aren't many match ups that I dislike when I'm playing her. You can also pretty much build whatever items you need, her inherent power is amazing. I love the flexibility.

@alaric: yeah our Ashe was good. I love having her on my team with Annie. Actually, I love anyone who has any form of hard cc. Makes chain stun -> death super easy.

Just wait for health pots to be limited and then spam Viktor again.

Sona + Annie n1 initates

I feel like Annie's is a little easier because its an instant point and click as opposed to a giant "linear skillshot".

i really like bot lanes where the AD contributes some sort of hard CC, like Ashe or Varus. It helps soooo much in getting kills and makes them so much better at teamfights.

Oh that did not just happen...

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]



The build is seriously so good when you're ahead, try it <.< Here the turning point was me getting ganked 1v5 and getting a double kill and 3 others low and then my teammates cleaning them up and us getting double inhibitor. Kayle ragequit at lvl 3 because she got first blooded and I didn't let her mid.

Nothing could lane against me even at 15 minutes when my inventory had just a Hydra and boots.


And yes I'm in a shit league >_>

And yes I'll be advocating Ravenous Hydra...

1200 points until 6300 IP... I don't think I'll feel like playing another ~15 games today >_< But a 4v5 win after my first penta kill with Zed, I guess the day could be worse...

The Locicero thread is that way ---->

Hydra/Brutalizer/GiantBelt core on Zed is pretty friggin awesome though. Been doing it in top lane, and though I've been losing the games, in both games I was like 3-0 / 5-1 but the rest of our (premade) team was ... not doing so well. Thus my complaint in the Zed thread about having a hard time figuring out when to dive in for a kill during a teamfight.

I feel like the only advantage of BORK over Hydra is when the other team is IMPRESSIVELY good at peeling/kiting, and I still can't justify 40 AS over 50 AD on an AD caster assassin who has an AD multiplier.
