Why do you stand behind doing nothing?
it's almost as if you didnt have an autoattack or a freaking tornado that works almost like a stun.
I've had THREE Jannas doing the same thing over and over, they try to shield and they miss the damage so now I have a shield that covers nothing, it's as if they were dozing off!!! the enemy support is being utterly aggressive and freaking Janna is cowering behind the adc!? is this a freaking 2V1 lane?!?!?!
Mysticman894 votesA lot of bad jannas/sorakas do that, because it can be effective and that's all they think there is to those 'easy' supports. Shielding late is just poor reflexes, but someone with good reflexes can do nothing more than stay way back and only shield the adc when they're being poked and it'll probably be 'ok' at low elo. (Ideally they'd shield only when an aa/ability is already in the air about to hit you, and also when your own aa/ability is about to hit the enemy, but not everyone has the reflexes for that.)
Depending on the matchup and my confidence in the adc, it can be more practical for me to shield the adc (who probably has superior range) and let them poke/trade and not do much AA trading myself and instead position myself so that my passive lets the adc back off sooner. If theres a melee support or something then I'll be up there AAing too, but sometimes going in to AA is just asking to get chunked for minimal gain.
Tornado is a peel tool/dash interupt 90% of the time and not really something to trade with. Similar with W. Using those as part of trades is probably going to leave the janna oom fairly quick, and you don't want your janna oom when she needs to shield you or or q a lee sin q.

Deep Terror Nami1 votesIf they consistently shield you late, it sounds like they just aren't very practiced with her (or are lagging quite a bit). Everybody starts somewhere.
Ethan Allen1 votesThese are likely the people that were autofilled into support and didn't want to troll. They likely are just inexperienced on Janna. Feelsbadman Janna is not that hard of a champ. Defend and peel. ezpz -A Triggered Support Main
Hige1 votesOK I'll bite, tell me, when you play as support do you simply stand behind your adc while he's trying to farm and is getting pummeled by the enemy support AND the enemy adc?
how about, how do you deal with aggressive supports as Janna? in my understanding you are supposed to wait until they blow their cds and then proceed to shield yourself and retaliate with autos, shield and slow... I don't think it's all that hard but these people are getting under my skin so badly because all they do is run around in circles behind me, they aren't even warding and when I rage then I'm the bad guy.... WTF

Firstly, No. I try my best to get them pressure to CS freely. Also I will try to trade some damage on me for some on the AD depending on the match up. In a match up when the enemy is in an aggro lane, I would try to stop the engage with Q then use my W to get some extra damage. For warding. If someone does not play support often they are generally very bad at warding. Yes, they will have a trinket or blue trinket but for some reason vision control is a foreign idea to most auto filled supports in lower elos.
EndlessSorcerer1 votesConsidering you are playing around Silver 4, they probably don't know how to support properly and stand a good chance at having been autofilled.
