Annie will probably never be better than this || Casual Champion Review

[@Jesus-pl3io]

Demons are't centered around fears, but emotions. Ashlesh is the demon of joy, Fiddlesticks is fear, Evelynn is lust/agony, Tahm Kench is greed, gluttony, Nocturne although is due to a rework he's paranoia etc

[@reno9821]

Nocturne is pretty much a fear demon, just a lesser one from Fiddle who is at the very top. He's a more specific subset of fear.

[@Jesus-pl3io]

@@reno9821 Yeah but at the same time, he's a very old champion, and in that period even they didn't know what demon lore should be. I guess after a rework they'll give him a whole new emotion to be based off so he can be one of the 10

[@reno9821]

@@Jesus-pl3io I kinda hope he remains this way. They want him to apparently remain nightmare-centric. The only one of ten we know so far is Fiddle and Ashlesh. Eve and Tahm Kench are lesser, albeit very powerful, demons. Eve for example is a demon of a specific subset of pain, while there still exists a demon king of pain. Same way Fiddle does for fear and Ashlesh for Joy.

[@lum_berry111]

small correction: eve isn't the demon of lust. she only feeds off of agony. she uses lust as a tool to get agony easily.

[@CptnCardboard]

You're close, but no cigar. Fiddlesticks names the demons in his VO, and it is as follows: Evelyn: Agony Tahm Kench: Addiction Nocturne: Nightmares Raum (Swain's demon): Secrets Demons aren't just specific named emotions, but sometimes the emotions associated with specific experiences. We're told that Tybaulk (aka Tibbers) is the demon of emotions associated with fire, and Raum is the same but for emotions associated with keeping secrets.

[@dragonicdoom3772]

I think they could do a lot with Annie's story by fleshing out what Tybaulk's theme is. Instead of rage, which is very over done as a fire theme, he could be the Demon of Loss. He feeds on the despair you feel as you watch everything and everyone you love burn to ash. He could be partially responsible for Annie killing her step mother by being the proverbial spark which lit her fire. Maybe he initially just wants to use and manipulate Annie to destroy the things people love in order to feed him so that he can eventually break free of her teddy bear, only helping her to keep up appearances. But over time he comes to actually care about her and only realises it when she gets badly injured, causing him to feel the same despair that he inflicts on others.

Tybaulk has horns, as seen in LoR, and i saw an idea from someone that since Tybaulk's trapped in Annie, her having a cute headband with horns isn't actually a headband, but real horns that started growing on her head i find it so cool and that'd be cool to add this detail during a possible VGU/ASU

[@Geraf25]

Oh god the Annie has pyrovision is an amazing idea, would also explain her duality of wanting to make friends and fire in the LoR voicelines

[@t-1156]

"If you couldn't tell by the voice in my head..." At that moment, I can only imagine the conga line of funky characters living rent free in Nickyboi's head stopped for a minute, looked at each other and went "Say WHAT?" prompting his next line. That or he has just become Annie IRL.

[@1Henrink]

I feel bad that Annie is kinda so Iconic that I don't know if they can change her design, even though she really could use it.

[@wyattdupre2721]

[@jamiesadf5829]

Im gonna drop my lore comment early. Ashlash isn't the first non fear demon, and hasn't been for a long time. Swain's demon, Raum, is the Demon of Secrets. It feeds off secrets. Tahm is the Demon of Obsession, i think? He makes deals with obsessed travellers, and then robs them of their lives at their peak of obsession. Evelynn is the Demon of Agony, and she uses Lust and Fear to amplify the feelings of Agony. I would imagine much like a seasoning. Some people like being hurt, some people fear it. Its all the same in the end. I think Eve is probably the youngest demon we've seen in league. Probably not the youngest over all, but for sure the youngest in game. She is the most human, with the most nuance. Meanwhile Fiddlesticks is a demon of a core emotion. Ashlash is on Fiddles level, a demon that embodies a core emotion. Fear and Joy respectively. Concerning Tybaulk... Its hard to tell. He is certainly strong. But is he a core emotion? I don't really think so. Annie isn't necessarily an extreme emotion. In fact, she rarely even seems bothered by anything in particular. Perhaps the Demon of Destruction? There is only one thread that is consistent with Annie, and thats destruction. She destroys EVERYTHING she touches. sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. But its also clear that Annie has Tybaulk under such a high level of control that it might be irrelevant. My favorite annie interaction is in LoR with the Prefect. "What good's power if you aren't gonna use it?" "*Laughter* you sound just like Tibbers!" Obviously, Tybaulk is whispering in Annie's ears. It probably has affected her in some way or another, but not substantially. Tybaulk wants her to burn everything all the time. But Annie simply doesn't care. Though it has left her with a nasty habit of unleashing those flames on anything she doesn't really like... you know... like 2 different schools, her family, teachers and mentors.

[@cakepigs]

The only one I could think of is possessiveness (however it overlaps with tahm since it's pretty similar to greed). The reasoning being that her powers activate when someone is touching tibbers or when she feels like she's gonna lose her family (they also have pictures of her dead mum but i feel like a child missing their dead mother is normal). In turn tibbers is extremely possessive/protective of annie including fucking going apeshit on whoever kills her in game. However that doesn't really explain her destroying everything for no reason, i mean maybe the school tried to take tibbers off her to study him, like the robbers who tried to steal her money, but who tf knows.

[@claracclenky]

@@cakepigs The school knows who Annie is the daughter of, the former tybaulk carrier so they know tybaulk is in there but she hasn’t gone insane yet. if we go by your story we can probably guess that the school/Leblanc want Annie or/and tibbers. Tried to take her. And Oop! Burned to death

[@Vernafveik]

Imagine if Rell, Annie and Tahbulk (?) met. Tahbulk would be happy to be around Rell because she's always pissed off at something. Annie would be happy to have a friend who's power help her not immediately disintegrate them. Rell to have seemingly saved a child from being used for Noxian exploits the same way she was meant to be.

[@Strix2031]

Tihbulk would probably want to kill Rell

[@Natoursofcourse]

Taubalk. The second a is silent im pretty sure

[@justascarecrow6988]

[@MegaTarek]

I think they could make that her demon made her a child forever or something. and about her personality i think it could be like Toga from MHA.

[@PsychoGremlinCrab]

[@bossyoyo5084]

For Annies personality I propose to give her something close to pyro's vision in tf2.

[@thewanderingraven260]

Yeah as others have mentioned before the demons are more centered/based around emotions rather than fears (some like Evelynn and Tahm Kench taking inspiration from the deadly sins as well with Lust and Gluttony/Greed), so I think it's a reasonable assumption to make that Tybaulk is the demon of Fury or Rage.

[@jiado6893]

Or maybe Denial, in Annie's case. That could be an interesting dynamic, where Tybaulk would actively sabotage anyone trying to help out Annie.

[@luckas221a]

Evelyn is not the demon of Lust, her emotion is Agony. She uses humans' lust to inflict that agony. She is also not a primordial demon, she was born in a time of war where she was her most powerful because agony was widespread. Now in a time of peace, she is weaker and resorting to these methods to seek out the thrill of having so much to feed on before.

[@De_La_Evo]

The real tragedy of this series is because Nicky conscripted himself to play league of legends AT LEAST 163 times

[@lovelyoasis]

Dude, I had such a rough day at work. This video is just what I needed right now, thanks dude! 😊

[@Gavitron-um9io]

I have this idea of annie maybe being a genius child and she's trying to gain totally control tybaulk by lowering it's own guard around her. like she knows her own power and also tybaulk's and she want's tybaulk's power totally under her control. Like she is some secret mastermind that wants to become the greatest fire mage and uses the ability of being a child to generally lower people's guards as well as tybaulk's.

[@GunNutproductionsOG]

Her and Jinx would have a blast (Jinx would not be a good influence for her)

[@TheLovedUnbound]

My favorite champ is Zoe. Hopefully I live long enough to see her review.

[@wendi6905]

Oh and to answer your question Nicky Tybaulk is the demon of Frenzy

[@mrpatox1958]

It´s more of headcannon territory but I like to think that Annie and Tibbers relatiomship is kinda an inverse Nunu and Willump. While Willump wants to protect Nunu and be a good friend, Tybaulk is more like "Yes, child! Burn stuff! beat up people! dessert for breakfast!" and caring to some extend to Annie because he has more fun with her tan with Morde.

[@danielszilagyi9112]

I think they should go with that cinematic they once made for her, so she isn't evil, but just rather traumatised. Having a power that she can barely control. They could go with something similar to what Powder was in Arcane.

[@diwsiv1022]

Hear me out: I think Vayne should adopt Annie. Vayne is a Batman riff, so it makes sense she has a Robin by her side. It could help bridge the gap between Demacia and Noxus, as well as allow Vayne to make amends for the things she's done by caring for a magic child. Plus Vayne also lost her parents, so she can understand Annie's pain and make her feel less alone.

[@aubreyholdinggun]

most of this is about lore so I'mma randomly drop my opinions of annie everywhere else: Champion: Annie aged well as the beginner's first mage champion but not well when it comes to actually playing her past infant phase. Thankfully her whole kit is full of abilities you see on other champions, so going from one to the other makes sense with her. (Unlike 'Yuumi' who's supposed to be a beginner champion but doesn't have gameplay similar to anyone else.) There's nothing that helped Annie more than the modernization of her E. Annie's always been a mid-only champion because she legitimately could not work anywhere else. Having a shield to an ally has opened a secondary path for new players and old mains to raid the botlane. I'm not proud of another midlaner getting support balancing (swain, vel'koz, brand, etc.) but I don't mind Annie- as she's very readable but extremely effective. Design: Annie remains in desperate need of an ASU. Nothing else to it.

[@gravynavy516]

I'm not saying this as a bad thing, but i swear Nicky sometimes sound high especially in this vid

[@nestorjrlim3938]

Tybaulk imo is the Demon of fire. Literal incarnation of fear of fire, and that's why Tybaulk takes over the mind of others and lead them to the fire and eats their scorched flesh. Annie is literally the only one in which Tybaulk cannot take over. Fun fact: LoR Annie can confirm that Jhin can laugh, and that dieded is a word to use when you kill your parents.

[@Dumah36]

this is just a side story from another franchise, BUT! a demon being about joy if you go off the logic of DCs Sandman Delight changed names to Delirium since joy isn't real and more of a hysteria. very Buddhist since life is pain kinda vibe.

Hi Nicky I know you won’t see this but just in case, here’s a small tip on aphelios I can give you before you do his video: The order you’ll want to use up your weapons in the beginning goes like this, red -> green -> purple -> blue -> red again -> white -> etc The goal is to sandwich white in between red and green, since those are his best gun combos. Also purple/blue is the best wave clear combo. Hope this helps 😊
