Janna is op

Mody bird··2 votes·610 views

She has a large shield that gives ad, a movement speed buff and slow, an AOE knock up, and her ult this thing is the most op thing about her. An AOE push back with a heal. Every time i play an assassin i could never kill the adc because of a janna. Also she has the highest win rate in the game. nerf please

"Every time i play an assassin i could never kill the adc because of a janna."

Kinda the point, her specialty is disengage.

OT: either way, theres no real way to nerf Janna without actually hurting her mechanically; she could do literally 0 damage and still be good.

That said I don't think theres anything wrong with that; she focuses on one thing and one thing alone, peel / disengage (disengage is a form of peel anyway).

I'd even go as far as to say support is the most balanced role in the game, EVERY single support can do something extremely well (and then you have Thresh, the odd one out who can do everything well)

I agree that you could take away all of her damage and she would still be pretty good as a support. I think her laning might be a little too strong right now though. She wins trades for her ADC almost effortlessly and she doesn't really have a lot of counters in the bot lane that I can think of. (who really counter's Janna in lane btw; just healers?) I'm fine with her being the go to disengage/peel centric support, but I feel like she allows her ADC to go very aggressive even in unfavorable matchups because her shield is strong enough to take a few enemy hits and it allows her ADC to hit back harder. This along with her disengage allows for an ADC to go aggressive to take a chunk out of the lane opponent, and then easily escape unscathed because Janna MS, slow and knockup.

That's just my opinion on the matter. I think her laning is really strong, but she's not that oppressive otherwise. It's really good that she discourages diving the backline and that she can get people the hell out of the way if she needs to give her carries some more breathing room. The only nerf I can see being reasonable is if they nerfed her shield's bonus AD a little bit. Maybe they could redistribute it into her AP scaling for those Mejai's building Jannas out there. I don't really have a problem with her kit otherwise. It's annoying, but manageable.

My assassins don't get to faceroll-kill their carries QQ

Janna's fine; she's the best disengage in the game easily, but that's all she's good at.

Also I'm almost Diamond so I still need her to climb so Riot pls ignore the OP.

If she couldn't stop an assassin killing her ADC, what would her purpose in the game be? Your point is equivalent to "every time I face a Leona, she engages on me" or "every time I play an ADC, assassins kill me".

Champions do their role. If their role is stopping you doing yours then... get over it, you got counterpicked. Maybe play someone who has more jobs than just deleting ADCs.
