It's amazing that we actually have a challenger player who takes his time to give us a freaking two hour long video guide. It's awesome, hope you keep doing this

Haven't watched yet, but 2 hours challenger level Annie guide. This content is literally illigal. Keep up the great work 👍

Other basic tips from another experienced Church of Annie member:
1.) When you back, don't leave the fountain without any passive stacks.
2.) Experiment with initiating fights with a stun from your W or Q. There's a time and place for each type of stun.
3.) Tibbers bugs out sometimes. If he ever refuses to do something, instead of using R try Alt + Right click. Works for other champions' controllable pets too and can be reassigned in the keybindings options.
4.) If you are forced to back while Tibbers is on the map, you can use him while you are recalling without cancelling your recall. You can even get kills without it cancelling your back.

Coach, what items and rune setup wold you recommend for S11? Still hextech or do you go ludens/lyandris?

[LazyLee]

LS, aka "Low Standards", is a commentator for the LCK that is often ridiculed for his annoying personality and questionable game knowledge. He is specifically known for his Annie and Tahm “Thomas” Kench two-trick-pony in low platinum solo-queue

Coach, you make me want to play every champion you make a guide on. Thanks so much for the inspiration and keep up the amazing work!

[Brosak.]

Would you consider making a Veigar mid guide? I think he is quite powerful for lower elo players (plat down). :-)
oh yea and: "if vlad and veigar had a baby".. lmao bro u really had me laughing there KEKW

[Wilson-uptk]

Is there any chance this could get a bit of an update with mythics ect available

[darkienl]

Not sure if you read this, but it's season 11 now. Do you still recommend rocketbelt -> ryalize -> liandry's?
And what do you think about horizon focus and demonic embrace on her?

[AussiePlays]

She was the 1st champion I queued into a game with back when I started in 2014

[KILLITXA]

Oke 3rd time rewatching since I became Annie main now.. insane information.. kinda still struggling with match ups.. like orianna and syndra .. Tho I can survive thanks to TP. Without getting punished too much

[syrehn]

Finally an annie guide lol, ive been asking for this in the discord for like 9 years lol.

[gerardomtzquintanar]

Man, this brings so much memories back. When I got into this game she was my first main champion. I used to play her everywhere and build anything. Then I learned other champs and forgot about her.
Now, plying in plat I thought this champ couldn't teach me anything else, but you proved me wrong. I think will pick her again. Thanks for the great guide!! <3

Beast coach ever!!

Really happy to see your channel blowing up lately. You are on of the few content creators in the league scene who I genuinely feels wants to help the viewer.

Coach Curtis, I am watching this is Season 11. And so am a little lost on what to build, obviously your item guide is a little outdated, so what mythic would you recommend?

I looked at leagueofgraphs.com, and found that the four mythics that top teir players use are Ludens, Liandries, Rocketbelt, and Night Harvester. In order of popularity. Also, I noticed that the higher I made the floor in terms of skill level, Gold+, Plat+, Diamond+, Masters+ the less common Ludens got and the more common all the others did (although order never changed). Liandries had the least change 14-19%, Night Harvester aproximatly doubles from just over 3% to almost 6%, while Rocketbelt has by far the largest shift (relative to percentage choice) of 5% at gold+ to 17.4% at Masters plus. Ludens goes from 75% at gold+ down to just above 49% at masters plus (still almost three times the others).

That info in an easy to compare format:
Ludens: (gold-challenger 75%) (Masters-Challenger 49%)
Liandries: (gold-challenger 14%) (Masters-Challenger 19%)
Rocketbelt: (gold-challenger 5%) (Masters-Challenger 17.4%)
Night Harvester: (gold-challenger 3.2%) (Masters-Challenger 5.8%)

I also checked the top Annie players globally, the stats are pretty similar, out of the ten I checked
2 took Ludens every game
2 took Rocketbelt every game
1 took Liandries every game
1 took Night Harvester every game
1 flipped between Ludens and Liandries
1 flipped between Rocketbelt and Night Harvester
1 chose between Ludens, Rocketbelt, and Liandries
and 1 picked from Ludens, Liandries, Night Harvest, and even Everfrost


Ending thoughts: Ludens is by far the most popular irrelevant of skill level, but popularity drops significantly with skill increase. Rocketbelt's play increases massively as rank increases. Liandries has a slower increase but starts much higher, and at masters+ is still a little ahead, of Rocketbelt. Night Harvester certainly sees play, and more of it in higher levels, but is always the least common of the four. Which one should I (someone who is new to league in general and is trying to learn Annie as a second role before trying my hand at ranked) pick?

Edit: I have also seen a similar situation in Runes, Electrocute is most popular, by a lot, across the board. although it is 88% at masters plus and a little below 85 at all other levels. Arcane Comet and Dark harvest both have presences, although they are very small, like less than 3% small. I only saw them because I was looking at the top players, and some of them do use them. The top 10 have at least 5 who use Electrocute all the time, and then the others are split between Dark Harvest and Arcane Comet. All the numbers were Masters+. Both of these are different from your guide, although we have had a season change, so what would you recommend? Do I follow the standard that is also the majority at high level, or go for the more niche pics that also see some play at the highest levels?
