Janna nerfed so hard...
Okay, so I mained Janna since season 2. No, I'm not good as I'm only Gold 5, but I still think my Janna is decent. I used to have a 7.2 kda on lolking. Now it's went down to a 5.3. The skill build order was almost always the same... start E, then W, then Q or against an engage support lane like Leona or Alistar, start E, then Q, then W. You max E first then W, then Q. Basic stuff. But right now, Janna's old shield that had a cd of 9 seconds is now 18 seconds. Even with the 5% cdr you start with and extra 5% you get from runes and 5% from ancient coin when starting the cd is still ridiculous. I used to be able to shield the jungler twice for a leash. Now it's limited to an absolute one and no chance of getting a second one in. When her shield is level 1 she can only shield less than 4 times a minute. At level 2 it's about 4 times she can use it a minute. I used to be able to block the majority of poke champs damage like sona and E almost every time they used a skill. Now I can't do that at all. Yes Janna scales much better than before because her passive now scales with move speed, but her shield is practically unusable in lane now. It's to the point where I've been maxing W and treating her more as a poke champ recently, and I feel I've been getting better results doing that. I feel all of this happened because of all that sudden hype about Janna and ardent censer being op. Everyone started banning her frequently in silver/gold queques as if they just found out she's a decent support. The thing that ticks me off the most is ardent censer was amazing A LONG time ago, and no one gave it as much attention as they did during that brief time where "Janna was broken". So now I ask... RIOT... why did you break my champ? It's so hard being a Janna main now when the lane is so reliant on ganks unless you max W first.
