Can Janna be toned down a little?

Ben Sharpio·Oct 21, 2016·12 votes·787 views

Yeah supports have it really hard, but janna is a bit ridiculous and is one of the primary reasons why bot lane snowballs incredibly hard. She does her job of peeling incredibly well which is... ok i guess, but she singlehandedly makes it nearly impossible to shut down a fed ADC because of her shields that give AD, her ult that heals, tornadoes out the ASS and her slows. I don't see her weaknesses.

I'm not calling her OP, but this season it feels like bot lane wins the game entirely, and Janna is definitely one of the reasons.

the most braindead support with no effort and maximum efficiency,both safe and aggressive with sustain, crowd control and utility? better nerf Kled. She wont get any changes soon,because of her fabulous star guardian Skin just like Jinx

I would like to word the post like that but i'm trying to get past the downvotes from delusional support mains. A lot of people don't think shes on the stronger side because it isn't everyday you see someone complaining about a support. More on the likes of nerf yasuo/vayne ect posts

when a support that makes early game marksmen even stronger and keeps late game marksmen complete safe,having already 20% popularity with an average 53% winrate for a year thats fine. but when a support that has the biggest decision making,reliant on enemy mistakes and warding,brings nothing to the table but being a semi-juggernaut with 1 ability to support allies declared as "annoying" they get nerfed into oblivion(Tahm Kench)

Janna has very little damage, and all she does is peel. If you were to nerf her utility/peel then she would become extremely useless. There are a lot of supports that can offer almost as much peel + offer more in a team fight a lot easier than Janna. Personally, I'd love to fight Janna support...at least then I wouldn't have to fight all the mages going down to support (looking at you )

This post was more on the side of how she enhances the snowball factor of an ADC, which makes the game incredibly one-sided because bot lane has been destroying games lately.

How exactly? The AD Shield? Just hit it like 1 time with an ADC and it's usually gone, especially late game but even during the lanning phase it would only take 1-2 autos and it would be gone and the AD would be gone to.

It's not like Janna is the only support to offer a shield + an additional thing. Karma Lulu Morgana Taric All give a shield + another effect or stat and besides for Morgana the extra stat/effect stays when shield is gone. Also besides for Taric , the other 3 on that list deal way more damage than Janna.

And as for champions with Peel... Lulu Nami offer a lot of peel, especially Lulu ...She has almost more peel than Janna.

I think she's fair in combat, just super annoying.

I think she wins because of bot turret first blood and her ability to shield bot turret. Sometimes a turret falls to a big push. Usually it falls to attrition and then a small push. She wins that attrition war hands down, increasing your chances of a team-wide snowball.

Just play karma.

A good karma destroys janna.

Ben SharpioOct 21, 20162 votes

A good karma destroys a janna player? A good janna player or...?

JorenciceOct 21, 20161 votes

Shrug.

I once complained about karma and a master tier janna player agreed it was one of the toughest matchups.

Have you even played Janna?

Athenes LuluOct 21, 20161 votes

Mages make her efforts laughable if anything.

I mean, she wasn't really picked much in Worlds due to how popular mages have been, if anyone noticed...

MunchCrunchLunchOct 21, 20161 votes

reduce her move speed so we can fucking kill her at least. i swear she outran me as yi with my ult sometimes if she buys mobis. stupid

Ben SharpioOct 21, 20162 votes

Yes, she's too safe. There needs to be an opportunity to catch her out.

I just want a fucking range indicator on that stupid tornado for both teams. Sometimes it looks like you're completely out of the way and it hits you other times it stops right in front of the enemy.

According the champion.gg, Janna has a high win rate, but also a high death rate, low gold income and low damage.

How does she get such a high win rate? Teamwork.

lol you go in on her when she waste her Q it has a long cd

and in order to get a good ult off as janna she has to put her self in harms way... a great janna will know how to flash in the middle of a fight and ult to save her team when she does this reengage and kill her

oh she is squishy too
