Highest winrate of all supports? http://champion.gg/champion/Janna/Support

Isn't it about time she gets gutted like Morgana support? Instead of a cute -0.1 AP ratio nerf on her ulti and a range buff on her Q?

She is getting nerfed.

The % increased range to her fully charged Q went up because the base range of her Q went down.

Fully charged nado = same range as live Double- tap Q (no charge) = shorter range than live

That, paired with the AP ratio nerf on her ult, makes me say "meanwhile, Thresh ".

If Riot REALLY is tired of Janna being a top pick they should make poke supports viable so that we can have the "engage beat poke, poke beats Janna, Janna beats engages" again instead of "Janna beats engage, engage beats poke, nobody gives a shit about poke".

Buff item 3092 line, nerf item 3401 line. Test on PBE and alter item 3069 if needed.

Remove sustain on Face. Increase AP value on Frostfang or something to make it worth upgrading. Add passive MS to item 3096 if this line starts falling behind.

My suggestion. Probably don't even need to do all of those, maybe just remove the heal on the Face of the Mountain line and see what happens.

yeah the heal to ally on relic line is overkill I've said it since it was released.

I haven't checked for any new details, but last I heard: She isn't getting buffed, people just get confused when only part of a change is immediately visible from datamining.

The percent increase for her max charged Q only increased because the base distance of it was DECREASED. It's the same range at max charge as before and shorter at any charge amount before it. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/OMbFYE07-question-about-janna-pbe-q-change?comment=0001
