Wait the black rose is employing her? I thought her shtick is that she just travels around going to bars for milk and burning people who try steal from her.
The poor kid has gone through a lot of trauma and tragedy man . Wish she can be with someone who truly care for her and also properly teach her to control the magic . How do you guy think about a scenario where Ryze picks her up and do that to Annie , trying to make up for what happend with his former student - who later became Brand
from her lv1 and 2 card arts it seems like they tried to get her into some sort of magic school or training facility, but she just burnt the whole place down lmfao
Putting her in the Black rose academy was such a great idea! I mean, she had the tragic backstory of a traumatized orphan and an iconic design of a devilish scary schoolgirl, Annie's main problem was that the two don't clash, but putting her in a actual school is just chef's kiss
Have you read the latest story they put out? Turns out Annie's mother was from that very school. She had a fire demon that used to serve Mord planted inside her, (Tybaulk im guessing) and it is implied it passed to Annie at birth.
Kinda surprised Tibbers doesn't has a 'If Annie dies' effect, but overall it's still pretty cool! 0:18 Also I love the fact that the guy acknowledges Tibbers, as if everyone knows Tibbers is just silently watching over Annie and is aware of what is happening Also also, I think Jhin might be a really cool (psychopathic) uncle
My personal theory is that Tibbers has the soul of her mother inside of it or at least a part of her soul that tries protect to Annie. as iirc Tibbers was made by her mother
@@iwatchstuffs7933 it was confirmed in the last story that tibbers is actually one of Mordekaiser beast, it was sealed in her mother and then passed to her (thats kinda why she is the "Child of the shadows") Also, Tybaulk seems to be its original form
After i read your comment a picture pop in my head. Jhin teaching teenager Annie how beautiful is a body exploding in fire. And Annie just listening with her head on Jhins shoulder. Similar to how Silco took Powder under his wings Thats a image i wont get out of my head for some time
this version of annie makes so much sense in LoR, compared to the LoL version, where she's that "mordern school kid". This would be a perfect VGU for her on the RIft
I don't think Annie is a psychopath, she's just traumatized. If she was indeed a psychopath, Fiddlesticks wouldn't have that interaction about her step-sister Daisy.
@@enoshrs yeah. I honestly feel so bad for Annie. She killed her family by accident, was adopted by a good family, and then killed THEM again by accident. Magic in runeterra is dangerous, and being such a powerful magician at such a young age makes life so much harder for Annie. If she really is part of the black rose academy I hope Rell can come bust her down, altough maybe she wouldn’t be the best of influences as well lol
it seems they decided to fuse both versions of Annie of the cinametic and the in-game Annie, with some actual Noxian clothing. While i would like the cinematic version of Annie, this one is waaaaaaaaaaaaay better in every way. They also changed the cat ears into devil horns, which is a cute nice detail.
Man y'all don't know how happy I am they added Annie. She doesn't get the most talk, but she's the only champion I play nowadays aside from Vex. I love the fact that she's essentially a puppet character, and her classic creepy girl & doll horror trope. I was really interested in how they'd modernize the character because while her look in ANNIE: ORIGINS is phenomenal, I actually preferred them tweaking her iconic base look. Fact is, Annie is gifted even for a mage, and most of all she's a champion, so she should look the part too. Fitting Annie in the Black Rose Academy was the natural direction for her because she couldn't be a lost, orphan with barely any connections to the rest of the lore forever. It'd have charm, but more befits a smaller NPC longterm, not an iconic character from LoL's beta days (if you don't know, it's a secret school in Noxus where they take gifted kids and weaponize them). Don't cry Tibbers lol you earned it buddy.
@@MatthewCJoy A random person on the internet that just wants to share their happiness. At least it's better than being a random rude person on the internet like you.
@@qsmain THANKS MATE. It just feels great watching this video because this is the theme I envisioned, but in LoL it's not really executed so it was always more in my head, or that I had to like sell why Annie's theme is cool. It's classic horror stuff, y'know? I have all Annie skins and heck, the few "videos" I had after the first when I OTPed Zoe were me even giving her a creepier vibe. Got a horror outro as well(can see in my cancel video). Thanks again for your comment!
I really hope we get some lore that ties together Annie and Rell. Rell wants to protect the survivors of Noxus' magic academies, and Annie could use a big sister.
@@dieptrieu6564 rell is roaming noxus trying to find other students and kill more of the black rose, that and the new connection to mordekaiser annie got make them the most connected champions out of all the 150
That’s kinda what I love about runeterra. They keep finding cool ways to connect champs from across the lore. Like the interactions between Lissandra and Zilean are super fascinating.
Seeing this and after reading the new lore story of how Annie's parents met, this is just sad and horrible. She became the thing her parents (or specifically her mother) refused to become herself. Now her daughter is being manipulated by the organisation her mother hated.
@@Dr.JonathanCrane that's cool bcs I thought that it doesn't feel right if she ends up there after her last cinematic (the oil art one). Well, I guess I'm biased after watched Arcane Jinx, "suffering but no redemption bcs fate won't allow it".
@@LoreGoshi does Malphite even have a stun in LoL? Last I checked he just slowed people, so it's not a surprise that the actual stunner does a better job at stunning.
I love that Annie's path of champions opponents are lit Zoe and Lulu, good move rito, good move, LoL. I love Annie here she looks incredible and fun to play as, I can't wait to try and make a deck with her.
I love the fact that the devs is giving Noxus a lot more depth than just brawn instead of brain like holding secrets such as Tybaulk, Atakhan and the Black Rose, Dark Creatures and Magic that barely anyone is aware of. The eerie part to me is that, if they have these things what other forms of power do they possess and what they are planning to do with it. Can't wait to see more of Noxus secrets.
i forget where i heard it but a theory i once read that im a particular fan of is that the black rose is collecting these pieces of power for one reason specifically - Mordekaiser. The iron king will return one day, and the black rose is preparing their defenses, searching for anything that may defeat him before he brings ruin to noxus (as it WAS his home, long ago)
The disintegrate spell scares me it's just chaotic evil outplay... Imagine mono fiorra or a leveled up nasus just dies on a damn spider just because of this card...
@@aneonfoxtribute well its splash art is really old and,i mean, she has lore and we know something about her but it's bare minimum compared to what we know of recent champs,mainly cuz she's really old and she does NOT fit in league's universe in any way! but with this,we can know something more about her and not just her general lore just from the trailer,we know that she is in a conservatory(i don't remember if in her lore mentions something about a conservatory in noxus) and there are other kids there,there is that guy that the conservatory spawns that seems really really cool and i can't wait to hear about it. also,have you seen her new outfit??? that's a real upgrade from what it was back then in the splash art from league oh and i just remember we actually knew already about some kind of school in noxus,we know that from Rell's main lore but i don't really remember if this two places could be related or not to cut it short,we now know what Annie is doing,what she has done and maybe we're gonna discover something new about tibbers and how this strange fiery macig that she uses actually works
@@aneonfoxtribute well,yes, you're right,maybe i have always seen Annie as something that does not fit mainly beacuase of her difference from all of the other champions qnd from the old ass splash art now tho, this new design DOES fit in the universe and makes her difference from the others a good trait!!
I love the concept of this maladjusted child thrust into an academy situation where she is more powerful and dangerous than her peers Everything RIOT does to Annie’s lore is always a step in the right direction for me
Still talks like a 3-4 year old though :/ I get that she's traumatised from everything that happened to her as seen in the cinematic and that her growth in that regard would be stifled after she's lived in the woods for a long time, but she seems to have spent some time in that school before burning it down, so how come her progress just remains so far behind?
The extra powers and poc stuff makes it harder to actually tell what's going on, I know a lot of people only play pve but as someone who plays both it would be a better reveal in normal gameplay imo
I think they really want to try to attract a PvE audience to this expansion, since they’ve done so much work on it lately. I assume we’ll be back to normal trailers for the next expansion.
@@Gaze73 I personally dont. I like it prototype in lab more. But its fact, game is mainly played for PoC now with competitive mode being sidekick. I heard they working hard on coop pve mode now.
I never really felt like Annie's character design fits well within runeterra. I know it's the most iconic in League of Legends however I've always felt like it looked a tad bit off when you compared to other characters Garen, Darius, and Ryze so when she was added into legends of runeterra I felt like they could use her cinematic version from the Annie short as her design but regardless I'm glad she made it in.
I mean I never really understand when people say this and it was the same for seraphine, this is a magical world where they make all kinds of crazy shit, but a backpack and a horned headband is too weird to imagine, I do agree Annie's design especially when league was first a thing was jarring and I think her design now is way better, I am just saying we are talking about simple tailoring/ craftsmanship. It isn't like they are making neon lighted hoverboard even though, piltover has hoverboards, there are structures that can fly in universe, neon lights and glowing paint exists in league, sparkles exist in Runeterra, like I know it is easy to think that Runeterra is super old timey and stuff but it really isn't, ofc it depends on the region. You aren't seeing seraphine design in noxus but come on to day they don't fit is wrong, it is better imo to think of it as, oh hey these things exist and can be made in Runeterra than they don't exist because it is the people who are making the world who are doing these designs, so they should know their world better than us
Was kinda hoping Tibbers would be a late game, fat 8-9 drop with like 8/8 stats and a win con card effect, but it still looks like he's really strong. Love the animation 👌
Her official region is just Runeterra but yeah it does mention in her story it's north Noxus. I bet they put her in Noxus because the fact this artwork is herself from before/during when she burnt the place down making her art been officially when she was with Noxus. If it was more of the aftermath version of it would be a confusing well is she Origin or Noxus so I am happy they went for this timeframe to not confuse things.
best champ this expansion. as an aggro-player, i'm very happy about this. i'm also sorry for everyone else if she turns out to be as broken as azirelia was
@@Gaze73 2/2 quick attack with potential overwhelm that turns into a 3/3 that generates a decent card if left alone thats number 1 one drop in the game material
I never expected something like this, but I love the idea of interactions between Jhin and Annie (The only bad thing is that Annie's level up animation makes me feel a bit down)
Annie in being turned into yet another child soldier of noxus. This should be interesting, thinking something among the lines of Demolisher Nunu skin vibes.
Not as hard as it looks, since in the end she’ll just be used as a powerful 1 drop that trades extremely well with removal. She’ll be meta day 1 because of burn aggro.
FORGIVE WHAT I SAID ABOUT NOT CHANGING THE DESIGN ENOUGH HOLY FUCK SHE WENT FROM "YOU'RE MY NEW FRIEND" TO "YOUR SON CALLS ME MASTER ON THE PLAYGROUND"
She feels more cute and adorable here than creepy and malicious. I mean sure, a pyromaniac child and a giant burning bear is scary but Annie's voice kinda kills it.
@@ItBeGiR I don't think its a dark secret power when other characters are definitely aware. I'm guessing a lot of card interactions with Annie involve characters being wary not to piss her off.
At the beginning of the video I was like "oh she is in some kind of black rose school in Noxus, hope she doesnt become a weapon of war" At the end of the video 'burns down the black rose school' "well that will do it...."
Jhin: "stay in school, Annie you'll make something of yourself yet. Annie: "You've got a weird eye, Mr.Jhin. make me want Jhin as my art teacher and Annie as my classmate
I don’t really follow the lore outside of watching Necrit once in a while, but the concept of Ravenbloom Conservatory is interesting.. Annie with a Psyops skin would fit?… but about the Prefect?? How would telekinesis? be proliferated into a LOL champion I want to see her 😂
The Black Rose continues turning children into weapons for war, but it's nice that Annie has new friends, for now at least.
Wait the black rose is employing her?
I thought her shtick is that she just travels around going to bars for milk and burning people who try steal from her.
I feel sorry for the dude who is in charge of handling all the arson problems Annie will cause

How do you guy think about a scenario where Ryze picks her up and do that to Annie , trying to make up for what happend with his former student - who later became Brand
Although i get the feeling tibbers knows whats up. fiery murder bear or no hes not going to let anything bad happen to her
I mean, the Black Rose seems to have a bad track record with this. Seems like Annie and Rell both destroyed their schools.
God i love how Annie has that smug ”we do a little trolling” type of expression on her face the whole time.
She has that "too hot for school" attitude.
He did troll Jhin by becoming a 1 drop lol
It’s the face from the girl in the burning house meme
Just a lil' trolling
Troll complete returning to HQ
I did not know how much I needed Annie interactions until she said “you’ve got a weird eye Mr. Jhin.”
Love it. Need more.
oh shit, she gonna learn from the BEST, how to kill with style
I love that
@@mramdani455 she's gonna kill fourfectly with Jhin and Tibbers!
Annie's "let's count to five" gets buffed to a "let's count to four" making her stun even more.
I loved the “what’s your favorite aminal” it was too cute lol
Annie-Swain sounds really scary. She's an amazing attacker, like a better first strike, but cannot block at all. Also her spell is really scary.
I can't imagine it synergizes well, but I really wanna try to make annie work with taliyah
Just like in the game. It was always Tibbers.
We have the infernal swain skin, so I'm making a fire deck
Annie and Yasuo! Stuns for days? Stuns for days.
yes finally the war grandpa gets some love
Annie being in Noxus is kinda scary, imagine the amount of training and manipulation she will receive there to turn her into a weapon.
Given that the level up is her leaving the academy on flames, I doubt that much. Nor that she seems to need it.
from her lv1 and 2 card arts it seems like they tried to get her into some sort of magic school or training facility, but she just burnt the whole place down lmfao
Yeah we can only imagine....too bad she burns up the fucking facility
The school belongs to the Black Rose, so good riddance.
It's Jinx all over again.
Jhin: "I've only known Annie for a day, but if anything ever happened to her then I'll kill everyone in this room and then myself!"

I don't know if you know jhins lore, but, he was gonna kill everyone anyway

I think they really want to try to attract a PvE audience to this expansion, since they’ve done so much work on it lately. I assume we’ll be back to normal trailers for the next expansion.
@@beefpelican They dont need to try, about 70% of playerbase just plays PoC. Game is pretty much high budget slay the spyre now.
@@danilakalinin6261 Why do people enjoy beating AI with OP decks so much? I won like 3 paths and that was enough.
@@Gaze73 I personally dont. I like it prototype in lab more. But its fact, game is mainly played for PoC now with competitive mode being sidekick. I heard they working hard on coop pve mode now.
Nobody
Demacia: She's Too Dangerous To Be Left Alive
I dont know about Jhin, But Annie and her support card are what Ezreal 3 beam really needed the whole time !
Like i said. Kids are cruel Jack.
“you got a weird eye mister Jhin” 🥺
I never really felt like Annie's character design fits well within runeterra. I know it's the most iconic in League of Legends however I've always felt like it looked a tad bit off when you compared to other characters Garen, Darius, and Ryze so when she was added into legends of runeterra I felt like they could use her cinematic version from the Annie short as her design but regardless I'm glad she made it in.
It could be a possible skin?
Like how with arcane jinx and vi?
why did you need to reply twice when you could have said it in one comment?
I mean I never really understand when people say this and it was the same for seraphine, this is a magical world where they make all kinds of crazy shit, but a backpack and a horned headband is too weird to imagine, I do agree Annie's design especially when league was first a thing was jarring and I think her design now is way better, I am just saying we are talking about simple tailoring/ craftsmanship. It isn't like they are making neon lighted hoverboard even though, piltover has hoverboards, there are structures that can fly in universe, neon lights and glowing paint exists in league, sparkles exist in Runeterra, like I know it is easy to think that Runeterra is super old timey and stuff but it really isn't, ofc it depends on the region. You aren't seeing seraphine design in noxus but come on to day they don't fit is wrong, it is better imo to think of it as, oh hey these things exist and can be made in Runeterra than they don't exist because it is the people who are making the world who are doing these designs, so they should know their world better than us
2:26 I think it's just adorable how Jhin likes Annie
Legends of Runeterra has done it again and updated an *OLD* design to be much more realistic in Runeterra.
Love it.
When you see stun you already start theorizing how you could make it work with yasuo knowing well that it's never gonna be a good deck
I love her already. Gonna main.
She says aminal. HELL YEAH lol. Also Jhin saying 'Stay in school Annie" made my day.
That Tibbers animation its soo good!!man, the animations are getting better and better
Players who play as her: Awww so cute
Players who play against her: *DESTROY THE CHILD*
I like her design more than I thought I would. Also, she looks kinda OP or at the very least really strong, lol.
she‘s definitely going to replace elise in aggro decks.
Hi
It's kind of adorable how Jhin gave Annie a "stay in school ,kid" as his interaction..
Was kinda hoping Tibbers would be a late game, fat 8-9 drop with like 8/8 stats and a win con card effect, but it still looks like he's really strong. Love the animation 👌
😂😂with the amount of burn turn 8 will never see the light of day with annie +noxus burn around
8-9 drops don't see play unless they can end the game on the spot
Annie was always in Noxus, she was just in the forests and outskirts. It appears now she has finally gotten introduced to actual Noxian society
Her official region is just Runeterra but yeah it does mention in her story it's north Noxus. I bet they put her in Noxus because the fact this artwork is herself from before/during when she burnt the place down making her art been officially when she was with Noxus. If it was more of the aftermath version of it would be a confusing well is she Origin or Noxus so I am happy they went for this timeframe to not confuse things.
black rose, not noxian
Finally a new champion that can ve played in a lot of archetypes, thank you very much for this, riot.
Only can be played on Aggro burn and control
@@kingki1953 *WHOOSH*
But it can be played in Jhin decks and so many different aggro decks. I mean is not a card for a fixed arquetype like so many champions they do.
"What's your favorite aminal" ... my sweet child finally has friends 😢
best champ this expansion. as an aggro-player, i'm very happy about this.
i'm also sorry for everyone else if she turns out to be as broken as azirelia was
Basically a 2/2 quick attack, can't block. Good but not broken. Nox has enough one drops anyway.
@@Gaze73 2/2 quick attack with potential overwhelm that turns into a 3/3 that generates a decent card if left alone
thats number 1 one drop in the game material
finally.. more Annie lore
Hopefully Riot gives us an ASU for her because her appearance at 2:47 looks so much better
I never expected something like this, but I love the idea of interactions between Jhin and Annie (The only bad thing is that Annie's level up animation makes me feel a bit down)
Annie's art is sooo beautiful
I knew Annie was gonna be a 1 drop but 0/2 was surprising
Love how Annie looks like that girl from the meme of the burning house
This is so wholesome
Her lvl up art is literally the disaster girl meme I love it !
This expansion might be one of the best yet...
Annie in being turned into yet another child soldier of noxus. This should be interesting, thinking something among the lines of Demolisher Nunu skin vibes.
Im a fan. I didn’t know what to think of annie going in but I like her level up a lot. Protecting her is the hard part since she has a “I have seen”
ikr, at least she is one drop so it wouldn't be a total lost losing her plus she also has 3 health so it's harder to remove than other 1 drop champs
@@romusa10 her lvl 1 has 2 health
@@yoyoyo1999ify yeah, i misread
Not as hard as it looks, since in the end she’ll just be used as a powerful 1 drop that trades extremely well with removal. She’ll be meta day 1 because of burn aggro.
FORGIVE WHAT I SAID ABOUT NOT CHANGING THE DESIGN ENOUGH HOLY FUCK SHE WENT FROM "YOU'RE MY NEW FRIEND" TO "YOUR SON CALLS ME MASTER ON THE PLAYGROUND"
She feels more cute and adorable here than creepy and malicious. I mean sure, a pyromaniac child and a giant burning bear is scary but Annie's voice kinda kills it.
@@ItBeGiR I don't think its a dark secret power when other characters are definitely aware. I'm guessing a lot of card interactions with Annie involve characters being wary not to piss her off.
At the beginning of the video I was like "oh she is in some kind of black rose school in Noxus, hope she doesnt become a weapon of war"
At the end of the video 'burns down the black rose school' "well that will do it...."
so glad annie is finally getting new lore works. she was getting so stale, so seeing her in noxus hogwarts as a pyromancer is nice
Guys. Read "The Eyes and the Ember".
Jhin: "stay in school, Annie you'll make something of yourself yet.
Annie: "You've got a weird eye, Mr.Jhin.
make me want Jhin as my art teacher and Annie as my classmate
"stay in school annie". When even jhin knows how important education is
I don’t really follow the lore outside of watching Necrit once in a while, but the concept of Ravenbloom Conservatory is interesting.. Annie with a Psyops skin would fit?… but about the Prefect?? How would telekinesis? be proliferated into a LOL champion I want to see her 😂
Noxus:
MORE FCKING VIOLENCE
hear me out. she deserves the design from her cinematic, but there is no way in hell this music used for her does not fit her perfectly
Holy crap, I think they're attaching Annie to Rell's lore
This is awesome
Noxus Tier 0 format incoming
0:20 the "hey tibbers" is so chill lol
The thing about Annie is she has a skill, so I think she can be added with Jhin no matter what region he chooses.
No Jhin's origin specifically says FOLLOWERS with skill. They were smart.
"Annie reveal" - FBI, this company right here
Never thought Annie and Jhin would have a father daughter relationship
Its evil anya forger!
I wish the character personality design was more aligned with her character in her cinematic, with the nuance and complexity.
Being a lost confused child kills her story imo, I love that she goes full psychopath smug child playing with fire while she seems innocent
