Could make her viable in High Elo too 🤤 with some Pen by boots she even could build maybe some tankier Items to be a bit more of the back-row breaker without neccesarily dying right away because full build pen might give her room for like a Abyssal Mask. Coming from someone that loves to Flash + Protobelt for the carrys far behind. It's a ultra risky play but that's why I love Annie so much haha Mundo might be viable with the Gargoyle Enchant.
About AD/MR, that wouldn't change much, most Protobelt user would still be one-shotted. And like making more AP items that give Armor/MR may break the game.

Maybe that is ok, it really depends on what the design goals, but trade offs need to be into account with any design change.
Annie is also rather s...
