Annie is now in the bottom 5 most picked champions, the champion is in a really bad state

https://lolalytics.com/lol/tierlist/, she is now down with quinn, heimer, naafri and rammus.

Annie got a ton of power moved out of her damage into tibbers and a shield, then that shield got gutted killing her support viability completely.

But back to midlane, annie is so unpopular I think because she both fails to do her job of one shotting squishies and is no longer appropriately easy to make up for being mediocre.

Now I am not going to call annie objectively anywhere near hard, but she was moved out of "easiest starter champ in the game" so she doesn't get a popularity boost from people who like super simple gameplay or are filled anymore.

Annie as a support was also really fun with shield max, but it got like 5 nerfs in a row to bring annie midlane down in power and those could definitely be reverted now.

Alternatively just decide to actually restore annies identity as an iq test for adcs walking into her tibers range so they actually die to her full combo not require tibbers control over a team for liandries damage or something

edit: to be clear her win rate is "fine", she shouldn't get large straight up buffs with no power taken elsewhere
