It's all about getting lane priority/early lead. Karma get's you early wave control. Which gets you early tower kills advantage over almost anyone. This gets you gold lead which means you are ahead in items compared to where janna would leave you in lane. It's like picking a cait vs a vayne. Cait's good late game, but vayne beats her. The problem is, you are then on the back foot UNTIL late game typically. Janna means you are playing the stall and scale game; karma means you are playing the snowball and win game. And it's an early game/snowball, and end fast meta right now.

As for morg, it's mostly about protecting your adc from enemy cc. Sure janna can shield damage and even ult someone away, but she can't stop an adc getting cc'd and 1-shot. Also, more assistance/potential to set up ganks in lane and snowball. So again, more potential for wave priority and tower pushing early game.

IDK where that quote is from, sadly.

Anyway, Janna's lane-phase is ... bad. She either has some pressure and just about zero defense if she goes W, or just about zero pressure early if she goes E. Plus she has some very, VERY uninspired gank assistance.

I dont know where you got that quote from or who said it But i'd like you to include it in your body first so i dont take it out of context

Second, Jannas win rate is absurd for her play rate. Competitive and solo queue is a different game. Just because something ISNT PICKED in competitive play, doesnt warrant allowing it to be busted in solo queue.

Did you read what Kasing (Spyce supp) said about Janna? it was quite interesting.
