Buff Janna

I know this is a champion that's almost as hated as Teemo, but Janna is in need of a buff. As somebody who plays Janna, she feels so unimpactful in game, now more than ever, and it all stems from one simple thing; her shield.

The nerf to heal and shield items was justified, and anybody who plays Janna knows that last season she got a little mini rework that lengthened the cool down of her shield to 18, which also could be justified. However, after they nerfed all shield champions by having their shields diminish over time, that was a serious nerf to Janna, who was already weak.

I'm not saying bring her back up to a 53% win rate Andy put her back as god tier pick or anything along those lines, all I ask is simple. Lower the cool down of her shield, and increase the grace period before her shield diminishes from .75 seconds to 1 second. Her shield is an important part of her, just as much as Soraka's heals are important to her, but lately Janna's shield has been incredibly lackluster.

Mastery 7 Janna myself and honestly, I disagree. The websites I use still show Janna at above 50% winrate and she was really strong for an extreme period of time.

I think it is ok to let her be like she is for now. There really is no urgent need to change her at this point.

her shield being an important part of her is the problem

your buff is not a good idea

if anything they need to buff her base stats first that are subpart, and got nerfed even more a few time ago

I haven't seen a lot of Janna recently. Engage supports are popular at the moment. Maybe when the outliers among the engage supports get nerfed she'll come back into popularity. 49% is a pretty alright win rate for a champion currently being overshadowed by OP counters.

I just saw a post about Eleisa's Miracle last two week. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/LjZZysEB-any-one-remember-eleisas-miracle?comment=0007 What about this item make a coming back? This would fix a lot of enchanter issue (janna,lulu,karma ecc) since the nerf to %heal and shield made to item.

I only wish her instant cast Q can be reverted back to the faster but shorter range version. Now, even if you are fast enough to instant cast Q to stop incoming dashes, it just moves so slow and most of the time the enemy is already in melee range for cc and damage.

A lot of time I already stopped Alistar headbutt, but because of how slow Q is right now. Ali already got in range and knock up with Pulverize.

With the amount of dashes in many champions' kit, we need some counter play on them.
