Agreed. Cass is godlike in lane phase if you are good at landing hits but, as above, Annie is just easier to play and much better in teamfights.

Cass actually does significantly more in a teamfight. Annie can AoE burst twice and then has to wait 8 seconds before another AoE is up. Cass can AoE DPS every 3 seconds along with an increasingly large AoE DPS/Slow and has a single target nuke every .75 seconds (or whatever it is on her E). In every possible metric, Cass out damages in an AoE or in a single-target nuke over a set period of time.

The difference, again, ends up being the effort required to do so. Annie has no combos that affect her damage. Just cooldowns.
