Unless Janna's Numbers Get Absolutely Gutted, She Will Remain as a Top Tier Support

The reason for this? Every single ability she has protects her ADC. No other Enchanter can match her ability to protect an ADC as well as the entire team.

• Q: AoE Disengage
• W: Single target slow
• E: Shield with an AD increase (1 second downtime at max rank + max CDR)
• R: AoE Disengage with AoE Healing

This makes it neigh impossible for the enemy team to dive her ADC, and makes mistakes much less punishing for her ADC as well. Her only true weakness is laning phase, but her utility and teamfight potential more than make up for it.

All of this contributes to her high pick rate and win rate, with the win rate going up with each division (aside from Gold -> Plat).

• Overall Pick Rate: 17.48%
• Challenger Winrate: 61.64%
• Master Winrate: 56.29%
• Diamond Winrate: 54.72%
• Platinum Winrate: 53.92%
• Gold Winrate: 54.26%
• Silver Winrate: 52.41%
• Bronze Winrate: 49.70%

If Riot truly wants to bring her in line with other supports without a full rework or inelegant number reductions (not including duration or range), she needs at least one of the following:

• Removal of knock up from uncharged Q or add a minimum .5-1 second charge time, potentially scaling with rank.
• E range/duration reduction or removal of bonus AD granted to target, or rework into a skill shot.
• R range reduction or replace knockback with a slow.

If Riot instead chooses to simply nerf her numbers (which is what they're currently doing), she will either be virtually unaffected or useless (would require across the board nerfs) due to her unmatched utility/protection that she provides to her ADC and team.
