I've played Johnson when he came out, I was top 2 locally with the help of my duo partner. We liked johnson because he could quickly go from Top to Bottom from Bottom lane to Top or even Mid. If our teammates are losing a lane, we know what to do and could quickly help. But recently we reverted back to Tigreal since he's a tank support, somehow.
Johnson and his 2nd skill is a very good kite source and a weapon to somehow scare the enemy at early game. But soon after that, its practically useless because well hes's a tank. Its scaling is magic so building it to somehow damage a foe is useless. His passive barrier is useful when it comes to tanking. His first skill has a chance of stunning an enemy, but I don't know the chances because they nerfed this skill.
But what I don't like about him against Tigreal, Akai and Franco is he could barely save a teammate. Which might have been the reason why he's never in rank games for Legend, I barely saw him. I never made it to GL, so I don't know if they use it there. But for the current season, I'd rather tank Lapu-Lapu or Chou than Johnson. (Johnson used to be my favorite though.)
Why I said he could barely save a teammate is because: Tigreal could push an enemy hero away from your ADC/ADR. Then Akai could quickly jump in front to somehow change the target to him (since he's a tank) then Franco could pull, or also stun/hold the enemy. (Not including Mino or Lolita since I don't use them.)
For me Tanks don't just go to front, they support and protect squishy yet essential heroes as well. For Johnson, I don't see his current skill set to even save one.
His first skill, supposedly it stuns. His second, slows and locks on an enemy (pretty nicely) but again, both scale in AP/magic. Most tank items aren't built with AP, or maybe I don't know items for AP-tanks. His last skill, is useful when its on the early laning phase. I barely save a teammate from it especially in Solo (which I normally play recently) Maybe because they don't know if I'll stun or I'll carry them away. Its casting time is okay with me, I believe its on par with Tigreal and Lolita.
I mean man, I love this tank. I feel like his defense could battle Tigreal and Johnson, could towerdive and take hits from the Lord or Turrets no worries due to his passive.
But I don't see him anymore, and even I barely play him. People in the rank would even be mad at me sometimes if I use him, saying pick another tank.
Do you guys have thoughts on rebalancing? I doubt he would be though. Maybe we'll have better items for Magic-based tanks someday instead.
