Can Janna players stop denying that she's strong?

She has a playrate of almost 20%, and a winrate of 56%. That's both the highest playrate AND winrate we had in 7.15. I'm sorry, but these nerfs are well deserved.

Janna is strong. Most Janna mains would agree - It's just the nerfs are targeted in a really stupid direction, like reducing her damage, giving her massive cooldowns on all her basic abilities and turning Zephyr into an annoying mini game.

Just nerf her shield CD or duration and remove some of the invisible power from her passive (right now, a lot of Janna's power comes from how strong coin line synergizes with her kit/passive and how rapidly she gets to late game income levels with the insane gold generation coin is giving compared to spell thief line).

Janna has a terrible early game, but with how much gold she earns from coin, she can rush an ardent early in the game and bypass that. As soon as Janna is gutted you will just see other ardent supports like Lulu and Sona take her place - These nerfs aren't actually solving the problem and should be better directed at the actual frustrating parts of her kit, rather than forcing Janna to kamikaze run in and use her 12 second cooldown Zephyr to achieve cooldowns that are still longer than she has pre nerf. And yes, Coin should be looked at overall before they go through and nerf every single coin/shield support down the line. It's happened season after season and it never actually solves the problem.

I wish people would stop suggesting that because Janna is strong at the moment that her entire kit needs to be gutted and torn apart.
