Janna Abilities Rework

Myystic7x·May 5, 2014·4 votes·1,216 views

is my go-to-gal when I play League, and i've noticed a few things about her abilities...

Howling Gale has no cast time, but Zephyr does. This is extremely annoying, ~~especially when you are trying to run away/escape from someone and you need a slow~~ especially when you are trying to support a teammate by slowing the enemy down so they can get close. Also, I could see Zephyr's passive acting like Tailwind (giving movement speed to allies around you).
Monsoon... Did it get nerfed? I remember playing Janna back in the good old days, when Monsoon had a good heal and was very useful in a fight. Now I try using Monsoon and the heal is minimum, the only thing I use it for is for when I need to push enemies away.
Tailwind, this ability is good as it is, but maybe it could get a small range buff to make it so allies can be a bit farther away and still get the movement speed bonus.

Well that's just my 2 cents on Janna. Anyone else have any Janna-related ideas?

You never want to use zephyr to run away because you lose your passive movement speed. It's more useful for slowing fleeing enemies or slowing someone approaching your backline. Howling wind and Monsoon are pretty much all you need to run away from people.
Monsoon used to be super OP back in season 1 because it had an aoe slow in the monsoon area while it was healing allies. They recently buffed the heal on it, and still has decent healing if you're able to channel it fully. It's just being in a position to fully channel it can be hard plus your allies might be taking a lot of damage to notice how much you're healing.

Yea, I was referencing to the S1 Monsoon, that was amazing. And while Zephyr does not give you it's movement buff while active, the slow is greater than the passive movement speed buff(I think).

Yeah, but if your opponent is moving faster than you with your bonus movement speed, slowing him for 3 secs while you lose your passive for 12-8 secs is worse than keeping your passive while you keep running and stalling with tornadoes and shields.

Yes, that is true, but it depends on how far you are from the place you need to be, but there is more to be lost if you use it and cancel the buff for ~11 seconds.~~ Or you can just build the OP Tank Janna and 1v1 anyone who gets in your way.~~
