Storm's mobility allows him to easily get on top of AA and has enough damage to kill him reliably. Ball of Lightning allows him to easily dodge Ice Blast and get away from Cold Feet in order to dispel it. Ball of Lihgtning can also disjoint any Chilling Touch hits and makes retreating back to safety easy for Storm.
