Like I said, I would usually take it over Rylai's. Slightly more expensive for more damage.
Trade kiting powers for move speed? I guess if your team is CC heavy...
I tend to go Catalyst, boots, Rod of Ages, sorcerer's shoes, Deathcap, Zhonya's or Void Staff (Depends how long it takes for them to stack MR), then the item I didn't take last step. After that, I thought, what else would I want? Lich Bane seemed a nice choice as I don't like Rylai's due to already getting a Rod of Ages, and would compete with
Abyssal Mask when I needed more MR. That was my thought process. And what exactly is wrong with that?


Thanks to The Nameless Bard and Vavena for the sigs!
Also, with the prevalence of gap-closers like Irelia, Xin Zhao, and Jarvan's E+Q Combo, the slow is not as good as it could be. Also, you get less out of it due to half of annie's abilities being AoE.

As you said, spammable Q for LB Procs. Spammable Q makes Rylais important. Why does Kennen rush Rylais? Spammable Q. Why does Vladimir ever get Rylais? Spammable Q. In fact, they even nerfed Vladimir's Q to only slow 15% because it's so spammable. What about Swain? All of his skills are 15% slow, which is why he gets Rylais last, but he relies on kiting powers and his R constantly slows, like people with spammable Qs! Oh wait, but the spammable Q people tend to have 35%. Whoa!
Plus, you're the AP, gap closers are much more likely to use their gap closing on your AD carry; if they waste it on you... well... GG you win!

Vladimir gets Rylai's because it has AP and HP on it.
If Rod of Ages didn't have mana on it, Vlad would get that too.
Tri lane for life.

They nerfed the single target nuke slow to 15% because 35% was so good. Yes it's more efficient on him than Annie, but the slow is still an important aspect.
