Janna does NOT have a mana problem

Ok sure but why··7 votes·666 views

I've been playing the shit out of her to climb out of the Silver Swamp, and mana is the last thing she'd ever have to worry about.

I understand why you're increasing her E cooldown. I know you're trying to cater to more professional elo's, where ADC's are actually able to take advantage of the extra AD provided.

But you don't understand. In Silver, I need all the shields I can get just to keep my retarded ADC from popping like a balloon early game. I can spam those things to the end of time and rarely ever have a problem with mana, thanks to all the Mana Regen items healers are given, and especially thanks to the Meditation mastery, as well.

Late game sounds like a buff towards the fearless Janna mains who can actually get in range to use their W's on champions, 45% cdr -2 seconds turning her E cooldown from 5.5 to 5.15, but the late game isn't exactly where Janna is needed in order for the ADC for not get shit on. She's still gonna have a harder time before she reaches 45% cdr, no matter what.

Welcome to League of Legends, where Janna is indefinitely nerfed for several years before someone finally realizes she can't actually do what every other support is capable of.

I know in the summer of season 3 she was the most powerful champion in game (she could even jungle), but Riot still pretends she's as strong as she was back then... and then pretends we don't notice. As a Janna main, playing her through all those nerfs was hard. But it taught me a lot.

In all seriousness now: I expected this and am disappointed in this. Her strongest game is late game with the AP scaling, it's a teamfight that can't really be beat. But in the laning phase (where games are decided in 99% of all games) she really needs that shield. Most of us aren't pros, and it just feels like we're being punished again for learning to play her really well. Because an average Janna = a dead ADC and a useless Janna. You need to be good with her to counter most of what she goes up against; if you're not, she's reeeeealllllllly squishy. A rotten tomato has more health.

Janna can't tank and has an almost non-existent threat rating. Her heal is amazing, but can't be spammed as often as other healers. Her shield is literally the only thing that keeps her from being useless during the most developmental stage of the game.

But you can be certain they're not done nerfing her yet.

As for useful advice? Build item 3301 > item 3096 > item 2049 > item 3165. Items 2 and 3 can be swapped depending on situation. Never buy boots.

Janna doesnt deserved any nerf more.. She is Nerfed in all the senses right now..

Even her W will be a slow area around the first target too because it feel so weak...not a trash mana buff & CDR/damage nerf....

Riot are acting delusional cuz a few spammers are crying only because the poor argument of fake webs winrates....
