What if Janna's Monsoon had a wind-up? Just theoretically speaking.

When you compare Janna with Brightwing from Heroes of the Storm, they both have similar ultimates, but Brightwing's version has a short windup before it knocks away everyone nearby. This ends up making her a lot more balanced since she can't really use it to disengage if a stun/silence is already flying at her.

Now, Janna's Monsoon is one of the most potent ultimates in the game, but is also one that even the best of the best players screw up all the time. That's fine, that's good.

But just out of theory, what if there were a short activation delay added to Monsoon? Would that make it useless? Would that make it more fair? What do you think?

I forgot about that. But what if the delay were re-introduced at, say, 0.25 or 0.5 seconds?

janna is much more of a problem, still sitting at a good ole 53% winrate. Taric is strong, but outside of high elo braum and tahm dont exist.

who cares about the win rate of an easy mode support? which one will give you more troubles, a tahm kench main that mastered tahm kench or a janna main that mastered janna?

do you guys want to teach to high elo players to spam janna instead of kench/braum/taric? sure, do it then

Pretty sure you dont know what youre talking about. And the answer is a janna main...

High elo players spam the shit out of janna.... Literally nothing but janna.

She has a 53% winrate and a 12% playrate in plat and above.. By far the most picked support in high elo.

Tahm kench has a 48% winrate and a 3% pickrate in plat and above....
