She's never been really all that special number wise it's always been the secondary utility that gives her all her power.

Innate - Global MS steroid equal to 2 Quintessences of Swifteness? :/

Q - pitiful damage unless you let it charge, but always has knockup.

W - only spell that deals decent damage reliably and is practically a nunu snowball in level of slow and how often she could apply it. TBH if the changes in the PBE notes actually happen this spell is getting beaten to hell. Does Riot just not want Janna to be played anywhere else but support? She could halfway mid because of the poke power in this spell and pushing power in her Q, but with a 12 second cooldown that's just killing her...

E - Decent shield defense wise, outdone by Karma (and in some ways Orianna since her's also gives 30 armor/MR to buff the shield numbers) but that's Karma she outdoes everyone number wise she's just lacking utility... It has been okay for quite awhile now since Riot made the AD fade when the shield breaks.

R - A very nice ultimate, but not all that extra special powerful really utility wise when it comes to the knockback since it originates around. The heal is amazing with even a mediocre amount of AP but like anyone ever uses it for that in normal situations.

IMO reducing the slow duration on W and increasing the cooldown on the ulti was enough. Maybe the early passive MS on her W being lowered as well since she already has some from her innate. At least she will still have her shield and won't just be a walking ultimate like poor Sona is atm...
