Absolutely Moronic Balance

Janna - Is currently weak in regular play (especially versus historic expectations). Pro play's also light on enchanters. We're testing a light buff to her passive conversion. Don't want to over buff, but interested in seeing if we can get a bit more niche variety at least in the support position. Buffing the amount of damage her AAs and W get from movement speed's what we're looking at because those are aspects of her kit that tend to have more impact at higher skill levels and Janna's historically overperformed at low/average MMR versus high.

From the quick gameplay thoughts for today.

Is currently weak in regular play (especially versus historic expectations)

So because she was broken for years and now she is in a semi alright place they are going to buff her back to broken because that is how she has been historically? Ok well then let's buff Kassadin back to a 99% ban rate while we are at it because that is how people remember him. Riot is beyond idiotic.

ESPECIALLY versus expectations.

This means not only is she too weak (which is what the FIRST part says), but she's extremely weak compared to her personal norm.

It does not mean he's planning to buff her to that level. It means that he's looking to buff her a bit.

Ok which her norm is insanely strong so then she is fine now but no because Riot wants her broken again.

Because she’s safe and incredibly low skill floor? If Janna is sitting at a 50% w/r, then something is wrong.

As a support main, enchanters are pretty weak rn. Besides maybe Nami and Soraka

nami is pretty broken tbh, her poke is insane with long range and can't be dodged Soraka is too windowed (E has like 26 sec cd?)

Janna is garbage lmao, if you lane with Janna against pyke morgana or braum hf to play the lane 1v3

I think it's extremely smart

Don't think it's fun for an adc to play 1v3 in lane

she is legit in a good spot. she is around a 50% win rate for the first time in years, but because she is usually broken and at a +53% win rate they need to buff her back up? That logic is borderline retarded.

she's garbage

find me a single high elo support that states "janna is good" and then we will talk

btw the logic isn't retarded, you just can't understand it

She is not garbage. She is worse then she used to be for sure, but she used to be broken. She will be seen as garbage because people compare her to how she used to be which was broken. She is fine not good nor bad but fine.

As I said, find me a support with hands that says Janna is fine and we will talk

Plot twist: Anyone above d3 or d2 would know how garbge she is

Guarantee I would find people that agree with me. Just because Riot and people like you are delusional about balance doesn't mean everyone is. She is fine. Does she feel worse than before, yes. Is she weaker than before, yes. Is she strong, no. Is she, weak, no. Does she need a buff, no.

I would take it a step further and say find me a support main above D1 who thinks ANY enchanter support, aside from Nami, is anything but hot garbage right now.
