Plans for Janna?

Witch of Babylon··3 votes·430 views

Many supports are getting many changes to fit them into the meta more? So far Thresh, Sona, Leona and Lulu have gotten changes on the PBE but what are your plans on Janna Riot? I think it would be interesting to see what you want to do with her, even though it might be a very small change.

Janna is already in the meta. She's the 5th most played support and her winrate is just as high as ever. She's doing fine.

Leona, Thresh and Sona are in the meta but are being changed. What makes you think Janna won't?

What makes you think Janna won't?

First, I said that I didn't think she needed them. Second I can say that she won't get changes this upcoming patch because they're already hitting the PBE deadline. It would be a very, very last-minute change to throw her in, and they only realistically have about a day to do it.

Leona, Thresh and Sona are in the meta but are being changed.

Thresh is arguably slightly weak (and he's getting very minor changes), Sona absolutely is not in the meta and hasn't been for multiple seasons, and Leona has been supplanted in high level play by other tank supports who do the same job she does. Those justify changes. Janna is a top champion in the meta, she fulfills a unique role, and she is highly played. Those make changes of any type extremely unnecessary.

No they aren't.

Janna is easily far more meta than sona and leona, could argue for thresh in solo q as well.

She's also faceroll garbage, Idk why she is allowed to be this strong to begin with.

Oh and mikaels/censer changes benefit her and raka greatly, not sure why are buffing these facerollers, but well, it's riot.

I'd love it if they gave her some love. Maybe a reward should she complete the channel on her ultimate, like a second wind that knocks back again, or maybe a new passive?

I don't know, but I've been waiting for her to go back to the top of the support totem pole.

She's fine at the moment. She was great when the engaging teams were to the face of team but the mage & ranged champions are slowly rising up so she's fine at the moment.
