No one except Thresh or Janna is allowed to be viable at support
They're basically the Lee Sins of supports. RIP Sona. You made bot lane interesting for a while.

How does sona make bot lane interesting whatsoever lol
She mashes buttons in any order to give auras
Where is the interesting part of her kit exactly
play vel'koz or brand or leona or blitzcrank or braum or nami or even soraka is still decent. and Sona is fine her main problem is that to be effective she has to play up which puts her in danger of being all-inned or ganked. If sona doesn't die early or doesn't get ganked she will win every singe lane 90% of the time or more.
Leona and Morg are still as strong as those two, and Braum, Blitz, and Annie are still really strong too.
The problem is that tresh brings too much to the table, such as Janna.
Janna and tresh can get your ADC out of trouble and curiosly, both have uncounterable CC. Knock ups. If your adc screws up , as treshuse W, use Q, use E, and even after that they are still engaging, use R and exaust. Oh, you are winning the fight? Bring him back with W, usa E, use Q and use R to screw the other team disengage. Way too much utility in his kit.
With janna the problem is the same. Q for engage/disengage, W for engage disengage, E for engage disengage, and even her R is for engage/disengage (if you position yourself proper). Janna is a worse offender since you can't predict by any means where her Q is going to land.
Leona is especialized in engage, but only has 3 of these tools made for that. Alistar is the same, only Q and E have a utility combat value.
Janna is at least relatively squishy (even with her shield), and her Q, if you are paying attention, is VERY easy to see coming (even if she does it in a bush, mind you) so she's at least counterable to some extent.
Thresh is pretty much good at everything. He progressively builds armor with his passive, has an engage, multiple effective disengages, AND decent ranged AA. Most other engage supports lack one aspect in exchange for being stronger in another, but not him.
Janna isnt even OP. She is good at fighting hard engage and assassins. Guess what the meta is?
I honestly dont think her nerfs on the pbe need to happen. Once poke/siege meta comes back, she will be non-meta again.
Thats why Janna is getting nerfed
