Agreed, Janna > all. Anyhow since current metagame is AD carry + non-ult heal support, she is very underplayed :( Sadly, because she is awesome :D

Jann's ult is a heal, lol. How does that make sense? Would you rather have a heal worth something or a tiny heal thats like an instant health pot?


Pre level 6, of course. An actual heal in the laning phase. I don't generally use the Janna ult just to heal someone btw :|

Soraka. Nuff' said.

Things turn out best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out.

Gonna be controversial but I think you can't beat Karma as support. Mass AoE heal, high damage, massive slows/speed ups and a huge shield? Can't beat it. No other support has the power and utility of Karma.

Unfortunately Karma requires farm, so you either need to use her as a replacement for your Tanky DPS solo top (and run a tanking support at bot, like Leona or Alistar) or have an under-farmed Ranged AD Carry at bot lane (which is stupid).

I would love to see a Karma top, Leona+AD Carry team one day. I think it could be incredibly devastating. Especially with Leona's passive and the AoE power of Karma on top of the usual Jungle+AP Mid+Ranged AD roles.

For supports that actually fit the Metagame, I only really see Alistar, Sona, Taric and perhaps Soraka as viable. Alistar being the best by far, since he allows the easiest farm for your Ranged AD carry... which is all supports are supposed to do, but can also turn into a mass CC unkillable tank with very little items. He basically does it all... all game.

Zilean doesn't really feel like a support. His Ulti is supporting but his speed boost isn't spammable enough (without blue) to be a full team support and apart from that he doesn't have any other utility. His Time Bombs are so freakin powerful and with Blue buff he's just a freaking monster... he doesn't really fill a support role.

Personally I think Janna sucks now, she doesn't bring enough to the table in my opinion.

I place Karma in the same spot than Nidalee and Zil - awesome supports, in their personnal ways, but need a solo lane to give full potential.

In the classical duo bot lane, Janna never stopped being the best.
In a single champ, you've got :
- a global speed buff (permanent 3% is nothing to laugh about)
- a multiple target disrupt...
- ... and a zoning skillshot, in the same skill, that you can put somewhere and release when you fancy it.
- a powerful slow
- an incredible, passive self speed boost that allows you to go bootless for a long while (not to mention the
- a powerful shield...
- ... and an insane physical boost for 5 seconds every 8 seconds (with average cd).
- a massive knockack...
- ... that can heal you whole team.
- a beautiful flying women in high heels and stockings :p (gott love the Hextech skin)

Right after Janna, i'd put Sona and Taric. Both great, providing good team synergies (Taric + Cait, Taric + Vayne, or Sona + Ashe are powerful combinations).
I'm never wrong ; reality may be.

Poor things...
I suppose none of you who said Janna sucks with the current meta has a support dedicated runepage. You people HAPPEN to play support, but truth is you'd rather not.
When you're laning with a spammable shield that doesn't drain your mana you don't need an heal.
My suggestion for all of you is, stick with Sona for your casual supporting.

Back to the real topic, as I stated the best support is Janna for the whole game, in laning game tho you should pick support accordingly to the AD ranged carry you're supporting
Kog'Maw performs better with Sona in my opinion
Tristana is great with Alistar
Ashe+ Janna.
these are some example of blessed couples.

For all you questions about jungling

Pretentious much?

I'm sure you have godlike omnipotence and reflexes so rapid that you can shield someone every single time they're about to take damage and then keep enemies away while your skills cool down so that your carry is always at 100%

Oh, great ZioSerpe, bless us with your almighty powers so that we can be as truly amazing as you.
