want to make aggressive janna feasible in lane? then nerf lifesteal

then how about nerfing lifesteal? you attack the ADC 2 times, ADC attacks you once, you lose out on the trade due to lifesteal, even at lvl 1, and from there on it only gets worse, hell don't even consider harassing the enemy as janna if they have warlords blood lust, all that will do is make YOU slowly lose health as opposed to the enemy ADC.

I remember when I could harass the enemy ADC and it would matter, now lifesteal is just thrown around everywhere and they can heal all of it back, even worse when you face cait or jhin, they lifesteal big amounts even at lvl 1.

only way to make harassing matter is if you've actually get abilities dedicated to it, auto attacking doesn't do anything anymore, lifesteal counters it easily

Warlords was a mistake

Do you know why warlords became necessary in the first place, good OP?

It's because mage's got shipped down to bottom lane, and they made it impossible to farm without either losing all your health in a single go or get harassed by a character with twice your range that also took no damage in return.

Even pro´s couldn't farm back then, games were basically decided between who picked Zyra and who got brand.

Malz for a while too.

Since then, mages got nerfed, warlods got nerfed and it's now fairly weak early on but only so much that a good marksman won't be driven outa botlane all the way up to their base by enemy mage "support".

But it's still kinda.....very strong later on.

I´ve played both sides of that, it was fun sure, but it was hella disgusting to watch the support kill the enemy midlaner 1v1 with a massive gold advantage too.

lol what? Unless you mean warlords, that 5% lifesteal at level 1 is not gonna win you the trade. Also the fact that they invest in offensive stats while you invest in utility so it also equalizes the trade. but yea sure, let's nerf life steal because janna lost a trade against an adc

IMO lifesteal should be a unique passive.

If they nerf lifesteal mage supports will come back into power, and only more complaints will be made.

Lifesteal has been nerfed plenty of times and they took away Ardent's lifedrain which was the biggest issue overall. Lifesteal as a whole was never the issue. It was Ardent's lifedrain and Deaths Dance's damage prevention. They also added Bramble Vest which applied GW so what more do you want?

They should up the 35% damage to 50% if they really want it to be a thing, or increase her aa range further to 575 or 600

yeah miss the days when you could slowly poke people down. With heal/shield supports everywhere and fucking bloodlust it´s just a waste of mana most of the time. It´s all about all inning them at the right moment now or calling for ganks, because as long as your enemy is not retarded he can always play safe, lifesteal for a minute and be back with full health like nothing ever happened. Giving lategame carrys early sustain to cover their early game weaknesses was imo a terrible mistake.

they could have nerfed ardent censer, seriously that item is stupidly broken, this coming from an enchanter support main.
