The last Maokai rework actually really killed what made him fun to me: the ability to abuse item timings (especially early on) and his kit to just go ham and stay alive, running disruption (and/or distraction, especially played top when you got ahead in lane and could use the additional ability damage from your level advantage to threaten squishies) to make space for your carries. His new ult actually punishes that (because of positioning). Raidbosses all the way! | ||

the ult applies stoneborn. and not just the knockup, but the aoe slow as well. its like stoneborn in an aura for 7 seconds. that shit is crazy if you use it on your divers/tanks and just apply it via shield/glitterlance for your adc. whimsy also applies it. literally anything lulu does applies stoneborn. I think its legit, losing the 5% cdr and 10% shield doesn't hurt that badly when ardent is so strong. | ||

Also I'm glad that people are starting to come to the realization that Rabadon's Deathcap is overrated. Ketara was preaching like three years ago that Void Staff almost always outdamages Deathcap on 90% of situations, and the only reason to ever get Deathcap was for waveclear (because minions don't have MR) or for AP-scaling utility like shields/heals. | ||

trying to shut down adcs when janna combines some of the best peel of any champion in the game with some of the best stat boosting of any champ is the game is very difficult if you nerfed censer janna would still probably be bonkers its just the ADCs need to be more fed to make up for the nerf in censer gold value | ||

But between the randomness of elemental drakes is terrible. I think the best dragon they may have had was maybe just before the elemental drakes where bonuses were set based on which number of dragons you had (although the ordering of the benefits was terrible). I really wish there were some way to control which dragons spawned in the game. you know what, I would love it if you could see what the order of the drakes is going to be during champion select. I think it'd be a really nice touch that could shake up pick/ban a little bit. | ||

It could also affect the choice to go for early drakes to try and hit all 5 before Elder. Plus, if you have Infernal/Infernal early on, it makes the choice of drafting for early game "win lane win game" comp interesting. | ||

At present we're trying higher CDs, with W reducing CDs/restoring mana on champion hit to reward more aggressive/risky use of that. Not yet sure if that'll be the final direction though. Janna "nerf" will end up being a buff for Janna mains. Mark my words. | ||

But she's still disgusting.) It's kind of mind-boggling it took the pros this long to start abusing it. Hopefully it will finally soon start getting nerfed back into reasonableness now that Riot achieved its goal of getting people to give it a fair shot. It happened previously with Cloud Drake / Righteous Glory, and it may happen eventually with Zeke's too. Also I'm glad that people are starting to come to the realization that Rabadon's Deathcap is overrated. Ketara was preaching like three years ago that Void Staff almost always outdamages Deathcap on 90% of situations, and the only reason to ever get Deathcap was for waveclear (because minions don't have MR) or for AP-scaling utility like shields/heals. Im glad I listened to Ketara early on. I'd bop kids so hard midgame compared to people getting dcap and they'd be surprised every time. | ||

Chaos. I disagree. The problem with playing the super supports in soloQ really depends on a basic competence for the ADC. The better your ADC is the stronger something like Janna becomes. Most people just don't understand their own roles in a game; those people are often too heavy to carry no matter how good you are unless you have help. At gold and up I'd probably agree with you. | ||

Op supports get to slide under the radar a bit. Its more that, for all supportive champions, what is good in SoloQ is disconnected from what is good in Pro play. Thus "OP SoloQ supports" dont get picked/banned regularly in LCS. Sona is right on Janna's heels in winrate, how much of a surprise would if she was picked 3 times in all of playoffs? Rammus and Amumu have famously been great soloQ junglers for years without ever sniffing pro play. On the other end of the spectrum, Shen is almost always below 50% winrate, same with elise. When Thresh got over 50% winrate in soloQ you knew he was broken beyond belief. | ||

Janna+ardent just gives nuts gold value to an adc. can speed up the progression of an adc by like 3 minutes for a top player, or even up to 10 for garbage ones. That's just so much for solo queue. And that's without all the save potential to keep very dumb players alive well past what they should be. | ||
