“You have the other enchanters which in my opinion not really that strong. Um, I moved down Jana and Karma because I just don't think these enchanters are near enough as strong as Nami, Millio, and Lulu, but they still have a decent place in the meta. You know, Jana being very strong at trying to peel against a lot of these tank supports. The problem with Jana and Karma, though, is they both lost Glacial Augment. Both these champions run Glacial Augment, and people are still being baited and still running ice overlord on both Jana and Karma, which is a huge mistake.”

Then we" (55:15) Support "You have the other enchanters which in my opinion not really that strong. Um, I moved down Jana and Karma because I just don't think these enchanters are near enough as strong as Nami, Millio, and Lulu, but they still have a decent place in the meta. You know, Jana being very strong at trying to peel against a lot of these tank supports. The problem with Jana and Karma, though, is they both lost Glacial Augment. Both these champions run Glacial Augment, and people are still being baited and still running ice overlord on both Jana and Karma, which is a huge mistake." (01:09:37) "That's all it does. It's just a slow and you're never going to proc the aftershock part of ice overlord's passive on the likes of Karma and Jana because you're a range champion, you know, unless someone jumps on top of you. But that's very rarely going to happen. And most of the time you're going to knock champions away with Jana and you're going to run away with Karma with her movement speed. So it's much better to go area on these champions, but that does mean they have gotten weaker, but they're both still pretty decent." (01:10:22)
