The first champion i ever played was annie. she was my favorite right from the start and still is. whenever i play mid, i choose annie. this guide is for people who want to destroy mid lane.

My quints are what they are because annie relies mostly on ability power. marks are because in mid lane most of the time u are vs another mage and the magic penetration really does help. seals are because your opponent will have magic pen as well so for that you will need magic resist. glyphs because i find that at early game you can 3 shot people and ability power is always good to have then.

My masteries arent the best but it is what i use. you can run 21 0 9 but i like 21 3 7. if you are not going to copy my masteries you should atleast have the same ones as i have in offense.

start off with rank 1 boots and 3health pots. next get the cata protector for extra health and mana. then upgrade your boots. and then complete rod of ages. next you should definitly get the deathcap because it offers so much ability power. the last 3 items are up to you. if u need to stack magic resist get the scepter first but if not get void staff. i then buy the spellbalde because it offers 50ability power and doesnt cost that much. it also provides 35tenacity.

in mid you dont want to auto attack and push your lane. instead hit each creep once and then get last hits with your Q since it will refund mana and charges up for your stun.

when you go in alone, make sure your stun is up. land a Q to stun then your R for the bear and extra damage then move in and use your W. If that doesnt kill them which at low lvl it should but if it doesnt use ignite and let your bear tower dive the enemy.
