Good note, though I don't note them to be "casters"; but they are built AP, so yeah.

I already said the item was situational and best in games where a lot of poking occurs. I'm not saying it should be a core item, that's silly. I was just suggesting it as a possible item.
Even in poking... it should never be built on Annie. It's a situational item on the people who SOMETIMES build it, not for the people who NEVER build it. :v
Jeez, think outside the box for once. You people are so unoriginal. You keep saying things I've already addressed and explained. It may seem like a weird item, but it has great AP that synergizes with the low CD on her Q and her long AA range. It even gives her much-needed movement speed and Magic Resist, helping with positioning, chasing, running away, and survivability. It's such a good item all-around that if you have the chance to build it works very well. I've tried a couple games with it and I did well. Honestly, at least try it. It seems odd, but so did AD evelynn and other good ideas at the time.

Thanks to The Nameless Bard and Vavena for the sigs!

Sheesh people, stop acting like Annie doesn't have one of the longest autoattack ranges in the game (only Anivia, Caitlyn, and Tristana after 9 have more range).
Also her projectile speed is one of the slowest ingame... pff
I'm known around these forums as a person that shoots down any "unoriginal" builds and I for one can't see anything wrong with Lich Bane on Annie.
I don't give a flying **** about originality. All I care about is whether it works or not.

Projectile speed doesn't matter much.

Atack Animation and Projectile speed matters for lichbane users.
As playing annie you will see yourself doing way less autoattacks than for example LeBlanc.
That is becouse you will in most cases cancel the attack animation. Eventho if you go with it Annie usualy you depend on RWQ combo, so you will get 1 proc on ouf it IF you do the attack.
I am not saying that this is bad item for her. Just dont see the massive viability on her.

Lich Bane is generally for heroes with lower AP ratios that are still built AP because there is no other way to build them. Either that, or they're bulky enough to be able to use basic attacks without having to reposition.
