Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win this lane cleanly through Q poke and shadow repositioning, as Annie has no reliable way to close the gap or punish you for trading at max range — post-6 you still win the all-in, but you must respect that a pre-stacked passive means she can stun you inside your R, so you need to bait her stun before committing your R.
How to Trade
- Your best pattern is to throw W shadow forward, Q from shadow, then E back to your original position to avoid her stun retaliation — if she has passive stacked, do not use W aggressively until she wastes the stun on a minion or a missed ability.
Wave Control
- Keep the wave slightly frozen or slow-pushed near your side to force Annie to overextend for CS, which opens angles for your W-Q poke and eventual all-in with your jungler — do not shove blindly, as a pushed wave gives her a safe screen of minions to hide behind and reduces your poke windows.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not use R on Annie when her passive is at 4 stacks without first baiting the stun — walking into her with full passive means she stuns you inside your shadow, negating your escape and letting her W hit you for full damage while you are locked in place.
