daily reminder that jhin is not kalista

I mean GB/DB is the most popular build because of how well it can be abused early/mid game. I'm saying his crit build still does incredibly well. That's all.

Then you clearly haven't played with both good and bad Janna players. First thing is you should always be in front of or next to your ADC creating pressure if you can be without being killed for it. If you are standing behind your ADC, like so many Janna players do, your ADC is forced to give up farm and just let the enemy ADC have a free lane because if they don't, they're likely to get engaged on and killed. Especially if it's a pick lane (Ashe, Blitz, Thresh, Nautilus, etc.). Second, you CAN use the ult to Insec. Flash onto an out of position enemy and ult them into your team. You have now done an Insec play as Janna. Third, you should let your ultimate run the full time if you aren't afraid of being bursted down. And let's be honest here, why are you using your ult if the enemy team's burst isn't gone or in the process of being gone? The heal will be amazing for your team and, if you have Windspeaker's Blessing + Ardent Censor, glorious for any AA based ADC. That long of constant healing, constant on-hit damage boost, constant attack speed, and constant armor/MR buffs can make anyone who plays Kog'Maw, Twitch, or any other auto heavy ADC jizz themselves.

Here's what most Janna players that I see do: Stand back in the lane, way, way behind the ADC. Throw them a shield whenever it comes off cooldown and let them do all the work. By doing this, the Janna player pretty much loses the lane on her own, but as long as the ADC doesn't feed, and the enemy ADC isn't someone who can abuse the CS lead they'll have too much, it might not matter overall. In teamfights, either don't ult ever or throw out ult to push all the enemies away without letting the heal run. Or get themselves out of position and ult at a bad time, when they can be bursted and the enemy has the cooldowns to do so. Literally commit suicide. Running into the enemy team face first in order to try to do the flash + ult play I talked about earlier without blowing flash or just stand there with the ult running while she's getting killed by someone. Never, and I mean literally NEVER, use the ult properly. I see so few Janna players use their ults properly. And all these things are because she's marketed as a super easy champion, all you have to do is press 1 button on your ADC every time it comes off cooldown and let your team win you the game. Most Janna players are so insignificant in us winning if we do that they can literally just go AFK and we'd have no lower chance of winning than if they were there. And some Janna players I've seen would even raise our chances of winning by going AFK. I don't play Janna, I don't even own her, but I know all these things by just looking at her kit and seeing what she can do, watching good Janna players play. If you think that Janna is the "Stand back and don't die and you win" champion, you are dead wrong. It's not just me that sees this. Look at Phylol's youtube series on his second channel, Phy Games, in which he does an Unranked to Diamond account and a Road to Master account. He outright says in one of his games where he has a Janna as his support that he would ordinarily dodge when he sees her on his main, which is Diamond, because Janna players often don't know what makes the champion good, and as such, do nothing at all in the game. In one game, he ends up getting a good Janna, whose clutch ults and great lane phase play literally win him the game solo. In another one, he gets a bad Janna, who stands behind him and throws down a shield on him every now and then. He ends up giving the lane to his opponent free because he can't do anything. If he goes aggressive, there's low chance she'd follow up with anything that helps. If he stands back and farms from range, he gets poked out/gets engaged on and dies. I'll admit she's a good support - one of the strongest in the game - in the hands of a player who doesn't see her as a free win "stand back and get carried" champion. I push this so hard on people who think that that's what she is because I know she's a lot better than that, and if that's what you reduce her to, you are losing the game for your team 100% on your own every time you play her. Soraka players at least know how to poke with their Q most of the time. Poke creates pressure, pressure creates an easier lane for your ADC. Janna players don't even seem to know what any button other than the shield even does most of the time. Another strength of Janna is her shield gives AD, making it a great trading tool, and it's the only shield in the game that can affect turrets, making it wonderful for depushing a lane or protecting a low health turret.
