Annie for N00Bs

[quote=TheSofa]Hi all, TheSofa again. I'll be starting a new series called "*champname* for N00Bs" because I am a noob and I want to find out how to actually play some of these champs. This is also a great opportunity to those other noobs out there that want to learn. So post all your fantastic ideas here, theorycraft, etc. etc. Previously, I asked you all whether [[Annie]] was a strong/viable pick or not, and most of you responded with a 'yes.' So, with the ~450 IP that I got for finishing the tutorial, I went ahead and bought her. I've played 2 games so far, each co-op vs ai (because that's like the only thing you can do), once as mid, and once as support. Please keep in mind that I'm level 3 and don't have any masteries/runes and that the only summoner spells I have are [[heal]] and [[ghost]]. So, I've been following the recommended build for the mid [[Annie]]: [[Doran's Ring]] + 2x [[Health Potion]] + [[Warding Totem]] [[Boots of Speed]] >> [[Catalyst the Protector]] >> [[Sorcerer's Shoes]] >> [[Rod of Ages]] >. [[Liandry's Torment]]. And then my that time, the game ends, because the bots suck. [rule] For the support game, I didn't really know what to buy, so I bought something like: [[Ancient Coin]] + [[Health Potion]] + [[Warding Totem]] [[Nomad's Medallion]] >> [[Eye of the Oasis]] [[Frostfang]] >> [[Frost Queen's Claim]] And then the game ended. [rule] I am positive that these aren't great builds. Suggest your builds/playstyles here! Looking forward to see what you think, TheSofa[/quote]

[quote=TheSilverDust]I got confused, too. Because one champions should be limited to one "gold income" item like [[Eye of the Oasis]] or [[Frost Queen's Claim]]. If you bought one of these, you should be never allowed to buy another item of this type.[/quote]

[quote=TheSofa]According to the tooltip, Eye of the Oasis doesn't give a gold/5sec. It only gives gold when a minion around you dies. If no minions around you die, you don't get gold (according to the tooltip) EotO also doesn't say "Gold income: you may only be in possession of 1 gold income item at a time." IDK, I did it. Maybe it was a bug?[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Wiki lists "limited to one gold income item" on both of the sightstone upgrades so, sorry. You're not getting [[frostfang]] with an [[Eye of the oasis]] in your inventory. :P[/quote]

[quote=Janitsu]When I play [[Annie]] mid, I usually go: [[Doran's Ring]] > [[Doran's Ring]] + [[Sorcerer's shoes]] > [[morellonomicon]] > [[rabadon's deathcap]] > [[void staff]]/[[zhonya's hourglass]]/[[luden's echo]] I don't really think [[rod of ages]] is that good, even after the buffs and [[liandry's torment]] is better of sustained damage dealers.[/quote]

[quote=rankupColdbolt]Hi! Just asking, why do you feel Liandry's Torment is a good item after RoA? I would have thought playing to instagib was the best idea.[/quote]

[quote=TheSofa]I don't. That's just what the recommended stuff said, so... You guys are here to tell me I'm wrong, not I'm right. If you tell me I'm right, I'm going to feel like you lied. :P[/quote]
