Why is Janna getting buffed when you keep using Sona's winrate against her?

When Janna wins more games and is played much much more

You seem to be very selective when saying that winrates and playrates are reasons to buff/nerf/say it does nothing

Wait what?

The AP ratio on her ultimate was nerfed. She isn't exactly getting a straight-up buff.

According to http://champion.gg/champion/Janna/Support her most successful build includes Twin Shadows, which while it isn't a whole lot of AP would still affect her in a lot of scenarios. Also while Janna players don't usually channel the entire ultimate, that doesn't eliminate the fact that it is very useful and powerful in some fringe scenarios (such as Baron-contesting). I really don't think it's fair or intelligent to dismiss this nerf as inconsequential.

It's more that the buff outweighs the nerf.

My Janna build includes way more AP (mejais, ludens, etc) but I still welcome these changes because the Q buff is pretty good.

The only AP items a Janna ever buys is Zekes and Ardent She does not care for the AP on those items, she cares about their actives as well as CDR and mana it gives her that nerf does nothing, it's like if Varus or MF was 100% pick or ban and got huge buffs, but got their AP scaling nerfed on the skills no one gives a shit about

I don't actually think it's intended to be a Q buff, I think it just hasn't been explained well. My theory is that q travels the same distance at max charge, but doesn't travel as far uncharged.
