Actual room to fail.

Soraka can fail, since her heal eats herself. You just build something with Greivous Wounds, focus her lane partner, and punish her for it. She used to be able to give mana and heal herself, sooo..

Janna has never changed, but with the new items that boost her shield and heal, she has indeed become oppressive.

Play blitz, leo, thresh, naut, or taric and get fed by killing them over and over again, or focus them in team fights.

I'm not calling them op. I just feel like they need a change. Riot with their recent support releases are going in the right direction, but those champions, especially the enchanter supports, need to actually have bigger impact through skills that actually give them room to fail if not used properly.

Ardent censor, redemtion, then locket and your win rate magically increases to almost 65%

Pretty tilting when Janna only has 80 hp, she uses half her ult and magically has full health again. I thought lvl 2 Janna ult only heals for 150 hp + 50% of her AP, but she some reason she got back over 1000 hp from just her ult. I still dont know how that works

Janna's ultimate heals 150 + 50% AP per second at rank two.

Since it can last for up to 3 seconds, the total heal value is 450 + 150% AP.

Windspeaker's Blessing (along with Redemption and/or Ardent Censor) increase the strength of the heals/shields she casts. Runic Armor increases the effect of shields/heals which affect her.

Okay she didnt get her full ult off so lets say it was 2 ticks of her ult, that 300 hp plus 50% of her AP which she only had ardent censor that gave her ap. Still dont know where the other 600 hp came from, she didnt use redemtion there. Just seems retarded to go from dead to full health for 2 seconds of ulting. Not even mundo can do that

If the adc isn't a complete moron

No, they (and other primarily utility supports) need to feel rewarding and fun to play even when all your teammates are brain dead feeding morons.

Right now they don't. If you have brain dead feeding morons as teammates then you just feel like a useless minion with 0 impact on the game and 0 fun and rewarding moments.

they are called enchanters for a reason.

apart from the fact that Janna is busted af when you just have an ADC who can rightclick
