But. That's one of the main reasons why traditional supports suffer so much in the meta. Even for a support, having damage potential is important. Leona is not only popular because of her lockdown. She is also strong because of her passive and her good base damage. Annie was not only popular because of Flash+Tibbers initiations. She was also strong because she had a high enough burst to almost kill some ADC by herself.

Janna was the support that was affected the most by the S4 changes. She did not only lose some damage like Nami and Sona. She lost ALL of her base and scalings to the point where she deals no damage even when built full AP (which, in fact, was made intentionally to remove mid lane push-machine Janna definitely).

Janna was, I think, the only support that was actually nerfed by the S4 changes. Not just because of the meta shifts. She is really weaker than she was previously.
