Janna on Urf

I really think you missed the mark on Janna's URF-specific changes this time. -8% shield strength is okay I guess though Orianna and Lulu get to keep their shield strengths and have permanent shields... Janna's still decays over time and is actually hard to keep up to any significant amount if not ranked up at the cost of her damage in the fast paced mode on URF.

That's not really the issue though I really think she should have gotten a buff to damage. Her ult does no damage, w low damage, and Q typically needs to b channeled to do damage. She really deserved the bard treatment (how he does 20% more damage and takes 10% less...???) Her ult is also weak because the heal is subpar when first available due to the healing nerfs. So she's good for a knock back on a 20 second cooldown against champions with 1 second cooldown dashes and 20 second cooldown flashes...?

I know she may not be the worst ARAM champ but I don't feel like she measures up to other supports in ARAM due to the above, and would like to see her buffed as she's one of my favorites. Keep the shield lowered, maybe even more so, but buff damage or perhaps a janna-specific buff that gives her free bonus move speed and thereby a stronger passive to incentivize an off-meta AS janna?

URF/ARAM balance changes don't make any sense.

You talk about Urf then change to Aram. Normal tornados when spamed are annoying can't even think about on an urf timer. Spaming W should be able to slow anyone enough in Urf that your partner can kill them.

As for Aram she's great I normally come out of arams as the 2nd or first on my teams damage charts with her if I take her damage if I take her for shields max E and get 35%+ shielding from runes/items and 40% CDR it's really fun to troll the other team spam shielding someone.

No idea why you'd want to play attack speed Janna anyway unless you're really good with her as you don't seem to be you aren't going to have a good time of it anyway.

I played Lulu in URF, and let me tell you, her shield is dog shit If you don't max E or buy item 3504 . And since I was playing Full Attack Speed Lulu, I was maximg my E last. Playing supports in URF is probably the most tedious thing you can play in this game mode in particular, you are just better playing a regular mage instead.

I want them to remove the stun on zileans Q and actually give him 80% on his Q.

(if you dont know, Zilean Q is on a 4 second CD, when it should be a 2 sec CD.) and his Q stun is reduced by a full second. so at level 2 its only a 0.5 second Stun.

But as a whole, I fine The balance changes pretty lacking.

I'd like if Diana did like -8% deals less damage But is like +10% tankier.

But it seems its always a Clear "You get only buffs and You get only nerfs."

Like janna, ONly received nerfs when I think she could be slightly more tankier.
