When I see all these Janna nerf threads I just laugh because she will still be Janna. She will still have a disengaging ult. She has some of the lowest stats in the game and has all of her kit into disengaging and people want to nerf that. That's like asking Caitlyn to have 400 range, Trump to be a polite and caring person, or Spite Soda to be bitter like coffee. It's her identity, its how she plays and people are upset because she does the one thing she is meant to do. She could have 100% of her damage removed and she would still be that disengage master because that's who she is. She would still have hell of a weak early game but still be OP later when all she needs is to protect her ADC from enemies.

I find it funny that people want to nerf Janna and not ADCs that are better assassins then assassins. I can't tell you the number of games I have seen where an assassin champion jumps onto an ADC only to die instantly to that ADCs 2 auto attacks. That is the real problem. If you want a fix we need to start removing some of this extra burst damage on ADCs. Shiv and other items that grant extra damage after moving/attack is a real problem because all that damage can crit and it adds up to crazy amounts of burst (its all dealing extra damage from IE too). When were the ADCs turned into crit burst damage dealers instead of sustained damage dealers? I'm not saying they can't do this once they have 4+ items but they are doing it with 1-2 items instead and that's a big problem. There's also the issue with lifesteal run amuck on ADC items giving them ludicrous access to sustain.

I trash Janna every time because she is so easy to punish. She has the weakest presence of all supports in lane and it's so easy to get a lead in the early game. I bully her around with a Soraka its so easy. This happens even if I'm playing an engage tank like Leona I can punish her easily by being aggressive. Later on I need to think and not just blindly engage as she has powerful disengaging abilities but she can't be everywhere and I just play around that. I can say with confidence that I have never had a game where I felt Janna was the OP. I can say that she excelled at protecting her ADC and her ADC was OP beyond belief. I can say she made it harder to target the enemies we needed to kill. However, all that is pale in comparison to the fact she has 0 engaging skills. She can disengage from any fight but can she force a fight? No and I can punish this if I focus on peeling for my carries making her near useless.
