An Idea to give Janna back some of her solo lane capabilties
Now before you downvote this because "Janna deserves to die and every post supporting her", I just need you to know that this simple change wouldn't really affect her support role at all, but more of a helping hand to solo lane Janna.
Janna mid was only nerfed because Riot deemed it as "uninteractive". This was true, as all Janna mid players did was plant a tornado, charge it, and watch the minion wave disappear. Seeing this, they decreased the overall base damage of her tornado by 75 and the scaling by 10%. This caused her to no longer be played mid almost completely. I can agree that this was kind of a bad mechanic for a solo laner. Imagine if
could ult the wave and it would keep on going no matter how far away you walked from it?
However, I have an idea that would allow
to mid lane again in a more interactive way.
Zephyr (W): Effect Range: 150
This simple change allows Janna to farm more efficiently, while also forcing her to go into lane if she decides to play passively. This would give the opponent a chance to damage Janna unlike old Janna.
This would not affect her support role for 2 reasons.
- The effect range is small, smaller than a Syndra sphere. There is a low chance it might hit both the support and the "ADC".
- No non-bronze bot lane is going to group that close, considering
and
exist.
I think Janna would make a fine addition to the mid lane. It would be like a
that's just safer and with less damage potential.
most of the time.
