Looks like they are trying to reward more aggressive Janna players and punish those who just afk behind ADC and shield them.

Well... dang. Too much all at once.

First off, I like that they are giving her incentive to actually use her Basic Attacks. With her former short range, the only way you were running in for a basic attack was if you wanted to shield yourself first to guarantee the enemy would lose the trade.

This new bonus damage based on Move speed looks interesting. Like you could level up your W instead of your E since the shield had a flat 10 sec CD anyways.

But they want to nerf the shield cooldown time too. That means I can't toy with the new W because the window on my E downtime nearly doubled. So it still looks like E will be maxed first because who really wants to leave that skill on an 18 second cooldown. Like pretty much every other shield mage has a shorter rank one shield cooldown. Never thought I would see the day when Janna doesn't have the best shield in the game.

I suppose there is a Q buff in there too but only people that don't care to dodge that get hit by it when using it as poke.

I wonder how her mana balance goes with even less costs and longer cooldowns. I have memories of making her shield on cd but it doesn't make a mana dent. Might be offset by the higher usage of other spells.

Looks overall like an buff for a champ in dier need of nerfs.... Massively lowered Q manacosts and even less cd early on, E is only higher CD early on when you are a bit more conservative with it anyway due mana and W hardly changed at all other than beeing slightly worse in early ranks, while her AAs get more range and a bit more damage.

It might atleast get rid of the bad jannas that don't know how to lane properly, but other than that it really looks more like a buff, and she stays a floating cockblock that makes her target 100% untuchable for melees...I really hoped for more, but i also expected less so whatever.
