#1 play janna that is all janna is very nice if u play her right im playing on pbe(theres almost no bugs right now) so i have next season and she's still very good you dont even need a good adc janna has incredible carry potential im not saying there aren't other supps who can do this but I think its easiest with janna because you don't always have to rely on teammates. if this gets replies i can elaborate if u dont think im correct

Would you recommend Janna? I want to get into the support role, but Sona and Nami... Ugh. Some ADC's don't go in when they should. And sometimes I whiff the bubble to let my ADC get some damage in cause they're floating and stuff, and with Sona I feel like she isn't able to give the most support because she needs to AA to get any other damage or CC on the enemy, including her ult. And now I am willing to play Top Nami. So... Janna Worth?

Janna doesn't have great carry potential with a bad adc or bad team... she does fantastic to help a decent adc/team though. I don't see how 17 armor and 1 defensive mastery will keep you alive in lane vs an aggressive bot lane. Janna is very squishy, and if you are shielding yourself, you are leaving your adc vulnerable to attacks (especially if he's not good).

I agree that she is great at kiting, and she also is excellent at peeling - that's what makes her such a good support. She really excels in counter-engaging (which is why it's so dangerous to turret dive a Janna lane).

I would call Janna a defensive support who can also play aggressively depending on the matchup or situation. But I guarantee you if you are throwing your Q's and W's too aggressively or trying to shield yourself and poke something like a Leona/Graves lane, you will die.
