Why does everyone hate janna

d4rkshock··4 votes·2,669 views

Jana is probably the most controversial support if not champion in the whole game. She has an even higher ban rate than blitzcrank. AP trollcrank op. And go mid and take smite and steal jungle all game ; ) if you want to be a cancer troll. I've played against her before and I don't find it too annoying. There's worse things to play against than Jana like teemo, yi, blitzcrank, evelynn, yasuo, and pantheon. So why does everyone complain about Jana.

As a Janna main, she definitely has a few annoying tools like her ability to point and click cripple you / outrun you at her leisure and knock you up when you chase her, but that's not what people really hate. It's her shield, and to a lesser extent, her ult. People hate Janna because they despise that Janna can be so beneficial to her lane by just pressing E. There's nothing enemies can necessarily do about it. Your damage does nothing, and their adc does more damage just because Janna pressed E. Because of that defense / offense combo on a low cooldown, and with Ardent being as strong as it is, Janna can be played by a monkey to some effectiveness so long as the monkey knows to move away from the enemy team and press E on the adc. Her ult is also a very long instant knockback that she doesn't have to aim, which absolutely shits on some melee champs. Point is, a good Janna can do a lot, an inexperienced Janna can be very useful regardless. Is it as bad as everyone says? I don't think so. You have Lulu that has a low cooldown shield that supplies damage from Pix, a point and click nope spell, a massive slow that's IMO easier to hit than Janna's Q, and an ult that peels for the adc and pseudo heals them. People don't complain as much about Lulu anymore although she seems like she should almost be worse, especially because of her passive allowing her easy harass early.

Janna is the bane of almost every melee champion's existence. She has the capacity to render immobile melee champions completely useless, save for a good Olaf and Sion.

same could be said for lulu, if you're melee you aren't getting to the ADC if a lulu is there

I don't know but it's sure as hell fun to play against when you tried your best to make plays and outplay her peels only to lose because her shields are so strong. Her ADC can stand in place, just auto, and win the 2v2 because his numbers are higher than yours.

I can't speak for everyone, but that's a common reason to hate playing against Janna.

In bronze games people play Janna? That's bad news. Seriously bad news. Unless they are smurfing. If you're wasting a ban on Janna, you're doing it wrong at that ELO. :D

I don't ban Janna. I just ban a counter if they have a high pick rate. If not, I ban yasuo by default. I.e ban xin zhao if you pick yi.

people only want lcs plays and to murder each other, saving teammates is considered "ruining the fun"

nobody like soraka for the same reason, either. people loathe healers/shielders

Cant even blame ardent, this mentality has existed for seasons.

Ok sure but why1 votes

Nautilus counters her so easily

She charges her tornado, and you just hook her right through it, she tries to slow you and you immobilise her, she uses a shield and you whittle it down with your base damage, she pops her ultimate and you ult her to end it quickly

Plus, with the Stoneborn Pact keystone, one bit of CC will allow your ADC to proc the item 3504 buff for an entire 12 seconds. 12! No one realises that in my shit elo.
