Introduction
Core build
With sorcerers shoes, abyssal scepter and hybrid or magic pen marks, you reduce almost 50 magic resist. Against an ADC, that's huge, you almost do true damage against a squishy. 50 MR is almost 25% damage reduction.
With Rod of Ages, you have lot of HP and your E reduces more than 30% damage late game. It allows you to get close to the ennemy team without dying too fast to get a good ult that can win you the game. The sustain that gives you in lane makes that item my favorite to build on Annie.
Against tanky comp, you will not be able to oneshot them with a combo, so bulding rylais to stay close to them if they try to escape and kill them with a second or third rotation of abilities is really useful. Your tibber will have more utility with the slow from the rylais too and like with Rod of Ages, the HP is always good on Annie because of her E that makes her naturally tanky for an APC.
Masteries
Since your auto atcks have really long range, 5 points in precision is really good. It helps you cs and gives you more damage when trading.
Dangerous game gives you up to 20% of your mana and hp in a teamfight so everyone except maybe supports should get it instead of Bandit.
You don't really need meditation on Annie, since your q doesnt cost any mana if you executre something with it. It's free farming. Just aa minions until they are low hp enough to kill with q and you will never lack mana except if you trade a lot with all your abilities (try not to use your w to trade if possible, it costs too much mana for the damage it does early) or miss your cs. Take 5 points in Merciless, you want to kill people.
Since you are puting a point in double edged sword, it's good to have some sustain with biscuits in lane. You should put a point in secret stash. If you put a point in "Assassin", maybe if would be wise to take Feast for the sustain. Expose weakness is good enough and safer than double edged sword if you want your team to do more damage.
You dont really need savagery on annie, but I take it to get some farm more easily with aa when I want to keep my stun. 5 Points in Wanderer would be a good choice too.
Opressor or bounty hunter is your choice. Since you have an easy stun, I would say to go for opressor.
I think natural talent is better than Vampirism for mages, except maybe swain or vladimir.
Laning Phase
Whenever there is less than 3 creeps in front of you and you have your stun, poke with 2 aa and one q + the thunderlords decree. Don't use your w except to stun or if you are sure you can get the kill, because it doesnt do a lot of damage early and costs more mana than your q.
You should always try to push as fast as the ennemy. If he only last hit and the wave is pushing in his turret, it could be because his jungler will gank soon, so try to last hit and pull the wave in the center of the lane. Don't forget to ward.
If the wave is in your turret, it can become harder to farm and you have less space to dodge skillshots like luxs e, so try to push a little bit more, you can use an e if really needed. Chances are the ennemy laner used some mana to outpush you, maybe because he wants to back or roam and gank other lanes.
Mid/Late game
If you successfully kill the ennemy bot lane, its often a dragon or a first turret bot lane.
Your bot lane can then help you mid and help you get your turret. If you roam, always be sure to push the minions wave first at the mid lane or have your jungler hold for you.
If you are on the left side of the map, you can put a pink ward in the bush behind the dragon. If your bot lane put a pink in their tribush, you will know when the ennemy bot lane has vision or not to see you if you gank.
In mid game, you should be with your adc and support most of the time. If you can, oneshot the ennemy adc or engage a teamfight if you can stun more than 2 people, but otherwise, stay close to your ADC and peel him. You will kill people way faster if you and him are focusing the same target. People underestimate the range of Annies tibber a lot, so you dont always have to flash to stun someone.
Often, your toplaner will splitpush with teleport while you and the rest of the team are pressuring mid. If you kill 2 or more people, you can get an innib or a baron.
Pros / Cons
Easy mechanics
Not hard to master
Doesnt cost much IP to buy
Lot of damage
Tanky for an APC
Easy farming
Can carry games even when behind in gold
Good champ to learn map control, objectives, roaming since you dont have to focus on the mechanics of the champ that much.
Cons
Can become somewhat boring to play
without flash, its hard to get a good ult
weak against tanky teamcomp with lot of cc. If you dont kill anyone with your ult, you dont have escapes to get away.
Linear champ.
