she works great with cait.

but it's not who she works great with. It's who she works great against.

A good janna will not let a single good leona zenith blade, amumu bandage toss or jarvan flagtoss happen throughout a game. She also counters kennen and others who have to get close to do their stuff.

Prolly the best peeler in the game.

janna is a huge anti-engage pick. as said by polse, a good janna makes an iniciator's life into hell. plus, dat shield.

Janna is more than viable haha. It's just that like rumble, very few people can actually play her well.

A well placed ult will win team fights.

A well timed shield will not only nullify harass, but also allow your carry to assert his dominance in lane.

She can hold towers for a long period of time.

She is very good at disrupting the Front line, helping your carry kite for days.

Nice boobs.
If I helped you out, be sure to throw me a +Rep!

Janna is still good, I don't know why people try to play all supports the same way. Not talking about anyone here, just speaking in general. Another good example of this problem is people who say Nami sucks.

Elohell is like Irelia's stun: if your real level is equal or lower than the level you are in, you're STUNNED there forever. If your actual level is higher than the level you are in, you're just SLOWED in your way up.

Janna+ Ashe is one of my favorite lanes. The amount of peel and kite you have in team fights is ridiculous.

I think the reason Janna hasn't been played much is because Taric and Lulu are both super strong right now and are better at offensive plays. She's good, but I think if she's going to be popularized again, she'll either need a buff or the other supports need to be brought down a bit. Especially Lulu, she tends to do just about everything Janna does, but with more offensive utility and better damage in lane.
Thanks to Janitsu for the sig!
