Janna doesnt need nerfs riot, NERF COIN AND ARDENT (and the other broken support items)

Stop balancing supports around a broken itemization, fix their items and they wont be a problem anymore, stop making their kits worse to balance around cheap items that are stronger than their kits, its stupid.

I'm a diamond 1 Janna main, and I have over 600 games on Janna. I believe she does need nerfs. It's just the /way/ they're nerfing her that doesn't make sense. Zephyr turned into a weird mini game - Howling Gale (which is already on a long CD) getting an even longer CD, More damage being taken off her kit (not her problem), mana restore added to her kit (also not a problem for Janna).

The only nerfs that really make sense right now on the PBE are her shield CD nerfs, which are deserved. I'd like to see them nerf that and leave Howling Gale and Zyphyr alone, and take a look at her passive. Right now her passive is adding a ton of invisible power when stacked with Coin, which is probably where they should be looking instead. That, or her shield duration.

Riot has been nerfing Janna's damage for years and it's never fixed her issues. It just makes her feel increasingly flimsy, and the Zyphyr nerfs will definitely make her feel a lot worse to play with.

Yeah i have no clue why they would nerf her W damage, dont they want you to play more "interactive" with her and walk up to w ppl? Why would you if it has even lower damage?

Because 0 mana cost with a restore function, and I assume it reduces its own CD.

I mean she doesnt need that either.

Its just kind of a stupid change, like all she needs at most is her E CD increased by 2s + ardent and coin nerfs.

I dont know why they are increasing her Q CD when its one of the main spells that actually ahve skill expression in janna (being able to time it correctly to stop one or even multiple gap closers).

It doesn't, it only lowers the CD of Janna's other abilities. Also Janna doesn't have mana issues, the the mana restore feels awkward and unneeded from what I've tested on the PBE.

You're right, Janna needs a rework for how uninteractive she is in lane as well as her low risk/high reward playstyle.

It's going to happen, boy, just embrace it.
