Janna boots???

So I run 0/9/21 on which gives me 5% cdr. Right now I'm not interested in changing that to 9/0/21 for 10%, I prefer the extra defense on her.

I used to build on her to even out her cdr to 20%, plus 10% from and 10% from either or would give me my 40%.

However, I got peer pressured into getting instead and that's what I've been going with, which has left me at 25% cdr until I get an armor item, like which I don't build on if I don't need the cdr, on her I'd rather get something like

I checked the pro builds and I'm seeing a lot of which was unexpected since I thought that was a bit of a niche item on her.

So which way should I go? I really like going hella fast into a fight but I also like the early ability spam.

Edit: Also don't suggest , I don't build that item on a support.

I either go one of two builds: sightstone>talisman/mobis> zekes/makeals>locket> ardent censor(its actually not bad for janna now) This will leave you with 40% plus what you get from runes/masteries. It is a pretty cheap build, and if you get late into the game you can replace your mobo boots with twin shadows.

If I want to go ap janna, which has been nerfed so its not as great: sightstone>ardent>zekes>twin shadows> banner of command> deathcap This is more expensive, and squishier, but I find it still rewarding to play.

I prefer mobos almost all the time since I can easily place wards for a cheap cost, but janna hits soft move caps so a lot of people prefer cdr boots.

Movement speed caps

When the raw movement speed is greater than 415, there are two soft caps applied:
The raw speed between 415 and 490 gets multiplied by 80%.
The raw speed over 490 gets multiplied by 50%. 

This was from the lol wiki site.

basically once you reach 415+ movement you only get 80% of the bonus, and at 490, you only get 50% of the bonus. Since janna reaches 400+ movement with just t1 boots and her w, going mobos means you don't get as much movement as you are paying for.

I have been a support main for five years.

I always loathed CDR boots.

Support builds are PACKED with CDR and it's hard enough to not overcap it even without taking these damn boots into consideration.

If you're not getting Mobis for uber map presence, either get defensive boots for extra surviability, or even Swiftness if they mostly have slows/if you want to have a permanent edge in speed (even in combat and even with W down).

For items I like

item 3190 item 3023 item 3165 item 3504 item 3060 item 3050 among others. oh and item 3222

Getting CDR on supports is super easy. Don't feel pressured by getting item 3158 . You can easily get way over the cap without any cdr runes, masteries or . item 3117 is a great buy if you feel like roaming or getting to lane faster. Janna's shield doesn't interrupt the movespeed buff from Mobi's. Nothing stops you from selling them late game and switching them for the other.
