Janna probably will still be strong, same with Soraka. I think the main problem here though is not that they are strong. But that other supports just don't provide as much to the team as they do. And in bot lane only. Alistar is extremely good in Jungle so thats where he goes recently.

Taric is good for early game burst champions but disengage supports generally beat him out. Late game he is decent but doesn't have enough utility for the team. (though I will be honest, Auras are utility that is hard to quantify how useful it is.)

Sona had her passive nerfed, and while I don't think she is UP at the moment I do think that if they made her passive a little better but kept the idea that what you max first is important. Then you would see some Sonas maxing Q for harass first, or maxing W for difficult lanes. But again, Auras carry a deceptive amount of power.

Lulu has her usefulness spread too far apart. First it is an AP mid, then support, but neither of the jobs are exceptional after all the changes. I also think her pix doesn't do enough damage considering you need good positioning, it is magic damage, and unlike Janna, doesn't interact with what an AD needs. Physical damage or AD.

How to solve? Buff other supports but do not allow their secondary roles to get out of hand. Like Alistar's Jungle role, or Lulu's AP mid role. It would be better than nerfing the top supports over and over again. Having more supports that play different ways in bot lane but are equally strong would be > bunch of supports that are extremely weak because of nerf after nerf.
