Tips for playing Annie

Storing a stun for use with her ultimate can turn the tide of a team fight.
Striking killing blows on minions with Disintegrate enables Annie to farm extremely well early in the game.
Molten Shield is a good spell to cast to work up to Annie's stun, so sometimes it's beneficial to grab at least 1 rank in it early.

Tips for playing against Annie

Annie's summoned bear, Tibbers, burns opposing units around himself. Try to keep your distance from him after he's been summoned.
Summoner Smite can be used to help take down Tibbers.
Keep an eye out for a white, swirling power around Annie. It means she's ready to unleash her stun.

Lore

Dangerous, yet disarmingly precocious, Annie is a child mage with immense pyromantic power. Even in the shadows of the mountains north of Noxus, she is a magical outlier. Her natural affinity for fire manifested early in life through unpredictable, emotional outbursts, though she eventually learned to control these “playful tricks.” Her favorite includes the summoning of her beloved teddy bear, Tibbers, as a fiery protector. Lost in the perpetual innocence of childhood, Annie wanders the dark forests, always looking for someone to play with.
