Simple question: How do you deal with Janna?

Sherogarth·Sep 22, 2016·1 votes·457 views

As our beloved wind lady raises in playrate - 18.1% according to champion.gg - I wanted to ask how to deal with her both in lane and in teamfights? She is this big, red "NOPE" sign flying in the middle of her team and everyone who wants to engage is just blown away. It's not like I find her OP or broken, she is just annoying, at last for me. Things are even worse if she is in team with :(. So if someone could enlighten me what are her weaknesses to punish or windows of opportunity to use I would be grateful.

she is squishy she has to put her self in harms way to pull of great ults. once her Q is down ( very long cd) you should abuse that fact

You pay her the money she's advertising.

Try to force her Q, then go in when it's on cooldown. It's got quite a large downtime until she's able to to max it (and it'd be a very strange Janna that maxes it first) and build cdr.

She also wants to protect allies as much as possible. So try to get her to shield herself, then poke her teammates. Repeat as necessary.

Janna is pretty much the anti-engage champ. She doesn't do quite so well when it's her team doing the engaging, though. If your team has the sustain to force a standoff, do it and get Janna to try and Q to pick someone out of the group. One less defensive tool may be the opening you need to get in and force her to ult before she really wants to.

lol i said the same thing about her Q and that in order to get a good ult she has to be in the middle of the fight to knock away the engages and i get down voted

When laning, keep an eye out for the bushes because she will start a tornado in the bushes, come out of the bush seemingly harmless and you won't think twice about it until you find yourself up in the air.
