Annihilus has always been *that* close to being somewhat good of a champion offensively. Defensively he can still cause annoyances, even in today's Meta.

Hopefully he will manage it if he gets it.

He needs more utility to make him relevant these days tho not just number and synergy tune ups, and by utility I mean make his buffs severe buffs which can’t be removed by immunity so Nico is **** against him lol jk… unless…

On a more serious note, it would be nice if when he triggers unstoppable he also triggers indestructible this would allow him to take on defenders like Zola. He definitely needs some changes to the stifles and armor breaks but he needs waaay more utility or else he’s just going to be another Super Skrull type useless buff which nobody will care about.

I can put that in of gaining that he gains a indestructible when dashing if the opponent have 10 or more stifle or during S1 for +0.5 seconds per stifle (Forgot to make Dark Hawk synergy base kit,gains a taunt when opponent Auto Blocks)

Besides the indestructible and Self taunt what else of ultility you want for this man? he already has a ton of it

(His not immune to stagger,Fate seal and Nullify,thats a mistake on the site)

Because a lot of that utility is extremely outdated and it was only useful back when questing and war were the most important game modes and BGs wasn't even a thing. 80% of the immunities he has listed in there basically do nothing against modern meta defenders. If we focus in the tech class alone: no pulverize, no parry non contacts, no bursts, no auto block counter (that true accuracy is so trash it literally only triggers while taunted it's completely useless), literally the only defender he can do reliably in the tech class with the changes you suggested is Red Skull and even that won't be a quick fight cause you can't stay aggressive if he throws sp1 since he has nothing to deal with auto block + Red Skull is already falling off.

He lost so it'll probably take awhile to see anything

Honestly i don't expect any of the characters i like,like Sauron or Annihilus or Destroyer to get buff

It's just words but eh, something to dream about

His Stifles do not need to be 10 seconds. They are fine at 6-8 seconds (2-4 sec increase). His Armor Breaks can be mostly left as is. They are primarily there for easy access, allowing him to quickly remove Armor Ups. He needs to consume Stifle to get Fury and Unstoppable otherwise he'd be much more annoying as a Defender. I like some of the other changes but I do think your buff is a little over tuned. Annihilus doesn't really need a lot, just a few important number bumps (mainly one) and some smaller additions to his kit.

Stifle duration increased to 6-8 seconds (from 4 seconds)
As an Attacker, Stifle reduces Defensive Combat Power Rate by the same amount (promotes his aggressive play style)
While the Cosmic Control Rod is active, whenever he would be Auto-Blocked, he inflicts a 0% potency Passive Taunt on himself, lasting 0.7 seconds, paused during Annihilus' Special Attacks (move synergy to base kit and slightly increase window its active)
On his Special 2, if the first hit successfully strikes the opponent, pause all Stifle Debuffs and consume them at the end of the Special Attack instead. All personal Fury Buffs and Armor Breaks are also paused until the end of this Special Attack if the first hit successfully strikes. (Inspired from your SP2 change but more balanced and with bonus benefit)
Darkhawk Synergy is changed to grant Immunity to Shock (or Resistance)
Sauron Synergy is changed to grant +2% Offensive Combat Power Rating for each active Stifle on the opponent (I really liked this change you made so I'm adding it but slightly nerfed)

This has a few more changes than I would've done personally but I added a couple, inspired by your own changes, because I liked them and thought they fit. Maybe they could also up the Armor Break Duration and the Pause off the Special 1 by 1-2 seconds or expand the self Taunt to inflict upon Evade through his Sig. I'm not sure it's needed with the above changes but it would be nice.

The most important change for Annihilus is increasing his Stifle duration. In his current state, it's hard to do his damage rotation without losing everything because the Opponent threw their Special Attack or just decided to be passive for a bit and the Stifles expired.

8 seconds is what he gets with Sauron synergy and still not enough to ramp unless you do 1-2 special and can take maximum advantage of the pause,i made them soo easy to stack because something i forgot to put is that the heavy gives you a taunt that gets extended per stifle consumed after the heavy (0.8 seconds per stifle consumed at max of 10),thats also why i removed from the Unstoppable and fury when dashing

i could decrease the amount of stifle to 15

I also forgot fury duration increase and Immunity to armor break against tech champions

i left this tune up and was working on another while also doing a art of him with Shathra
