Ok lets be honest for a moment. Janna needs a nerf/rework

As zeds keeps destroying in YoloQ, we forget janna with moderatly high pick rate and HIGH winrate. But her winrate isn't everythig and not the reason im making this tread. What's bothering me is that Janna get away with being in overbearing while other champs don't. Janna is a champion that promotes stale and non-interactive gameplay and to me and many other, a champion frustrating to play again. Yes i know that some players like farmfest botlane where no one dies, until a jungler comes and towerdives and both janna and her adc survives while scoring 2-3 kills.
Even more. Janna and sorakas gameplay pattern are very similar, stale non-interactive farm festing, but soraka is at her what, 5th rework? No i don't want to gut Janna or anything like that. I really like Janna and i think she got a cool theme, but i find her equally fun to play against as Soraka.

Booooo janna nerfs.

She already does the lowest damage of any support in the game with a average of 4800 damage.

What more could you nerf when her cc and disengage is literally all she has.

i'd rather have a rework than nerf. But do you really think janna is balanced (statistics says otherwise)? You find it funny to lane vs her? They rework Soraka beacuse they find her gameplay to be stale and non.interactive, is jannas any different?

She's very vulnerable to poke.

I HATE facing a good karma or lulu. Since early on her shield on a 8-10 ish second cd.

It's very easy to drop both her adc and janna to low health.

Soraka was boring because no matter what you did the adc remained at full life.

Janna doesn't have that problem.

Plus she's on of the few supports that can deal with zed.

So, what you are saying is that you want Janna nerfed because she can peel assassins off her and her carry? Do you want Zed and others even more atrocious? I don't understand what you are trying to say because quite frankly Janna is fine.

i know right. janna is my go to supp becuase hell i cant pick leo becuase adc doesnt follow up. janna, taric, sej and j4 are my other supps i liek to use becuase simply i play off the adc rather then the adc playing off of me, janna is disenage and the other 3 are counter engage style, is how i play them. its a rarity i have died more then 4 times as janna but hey she needs a nerf or rework why........ i mean come on her scaling to her moves is at best 50% ap and her only real damage is her w, which can do things later game if you have ludens and what not

I say she needs reworked but not nerfed. She already does like the lowest damage in the game. She doesn't need nerfs.

she used to do more off her q but they nerfed that lol, so i dunno. i mean her w is okay but i think the scaling should be better, hell zil prolly does the most damage out of most of the supps as it is, his q does a lot and the scaling is liek 90% ap not to mention you double cast it.

Janna keeps getting better despite being repeatedly nerfed. Why?

Thresh Nautilus Garen Jax MasterYi Tryndamere Zed XinZhao MonkeyKing Warwick Volibear Udyr Trundle Fiora DrMundo Fizz Katarina Shen TahmKench Malzahar LeeSin Vayne

The stronger these champs are, the better Janna is. Most of these guys are very good, extremely common, overbearing, or completely broken at the moment. Moreover, the worst offenders are difficult or nearly impossible to self-peel, like Garen MasterYi Zed XinZhao MonkeyKing Warwick Fizz Malzahar LeeSin

If the meta is loaded with champs where their engage almost guarantees kills, disengage and counter-engage champs get stronger. The game is full of assassins, ability-based ADCs with assassin-level damage, and engage tanks. It makes tons of sense why Janna is doing well right now.
