How do you counter Annie Wild Rift?

Laning: Deny the Detonation

  • Champion Advantage: ADCs like Caitlyn poke her from a distance where she can't retaliate. Draven or Lucian force early fights while she's still a weakling. Supports like Leona lock her down with a hefty dose of crowd control.
  • Dodge the Explosive Charge: Don't stand near those pitiful, low-health minions, and back off the moment she starts stacking her E on you. Deny her that satisfying, explosive burst damage.
  • Force Her Under Tower: Aggressive wave clear pushes her back, limiting her ability to roam and wreak havoc elsewhere. Call your jungler for easy ganks – she'll be an easy target!

Teamfights:  Clip Her Wings

  • Focus Fire = No Resets: Tristana thrives on racking up multi-kills, a little firecracker bouncing from target to target. Take her down with merciless focus, even through her ultimate, to prevent a team wipe.
  • Counter-Engage: When she leaps into the fray, punish her audacity with a hard-engage on her team. Champions like Malphite or Alistar can lock her down before she wreaks havoc.
  • Protect Your Backline: Peeling is key! Janna and Braum excel at disengaging Tristana and saving her juicy, intended targets.

Exploiting Tristana's Weaknesses

  • Early Game Pressure: Gank her repeatedly and deny farm. She scales into a monstrous threat, so stunt her growth from the outset!
  • Punish the Jump: If she uses her W (Rocket Jump) aggressively, turn the tables and burst her down immediately while her escape is on cooldown.
  • Itemize Smartly: Guardian Angel laughs in the face of her ultimate-powered burst attempts. Randuin's Omen slows her attack speed to a crawl.

Additional Tips

  • Watch for the Level 2 Spike: Tristana with her W becomes surprisingly dangerous in those early moments. Play cautiously if her support smells blood in the water.
  • Bait the Ultimate: Force her to use Buster Shot defensively, wasting its kill potential and putting it on a long cooldown.

Remember: Tristana thrives on snowballing and catching you out of position. Play decisively, shut down her early game, and deny her resets in teamfights. Do this, and you'll send this little gunner whimpering back to base before she can carry!
