Janna has been getting a lot of hate recently,tho it's not with out reason. She seems to deal a lot of damage wit certain set ups and is a strong counter to nearly any melee champion who has to rely on one single gap-closer.

What should Janna's identity be? She should still stay the queen of peel in LoL, but there are a lot of healthier way to keep that aspect.

New effect: The base slow is doubled when the enemy is moving towards your allies.

I'm coming back to this. I'll show you some design space that I've wanted to take with her.

The only way this is even thinkable as a rework is if Q becomes a 40% slow instead of a knockup.

You want to make her into Lulu 2.0 while being 3 times more cancerous

Have you used a calculator? At level 1 her base MS + passive puts her at 357.5 MS. mid-late game with Mobility boots will put her at a constant 500 movespeed. I don't mind you trying to improve her but please use math before using just any numbers.

Okay, I'm back as promised!

So, I really think you're into the idea that Janna is the Queen Of Peel, and I wanted to give her a new tool to help express skill, give her new combos, and give her power that much more satisfying.

Passive: New

Ethereal Gust-

At the end of each spell Janna casts, a localized burst of wind briefly knocks back enemy units away from the center. 45-20 second cooldown. (Based on level)

The burst is half the radius of her ult, and isn't a full kickback. (Think slightly stronger than Maokai's Bramble Smash.) It's more for added disruption rather than catching. (Though there are chances to still use it as such.)

Here's what that means for each spell.

Q- Howling Gale -At end of it's range it will create the burst. -Can control where that is based on how long you charge it. (Controls distance and thus placement of the knockback.) -Great for breaking up clumps of enemies.

W- Zephyr -Around the target it hits. -Doesn't effect the actual target, and the slow is usually enough of a catch out. -Better for a quick way to push a beefy support out of the way from your actual target, giving your teammates a clear shot.

E- Eye Of The Storm -At the end of the shield duration or when the shield breaks. -Particularly great for peel, as those that want to jump on your ally will have to time there abilities to avoid the gust, otherwise they'll ruin they're combo. -Probably funny to watch a tank initiate and when the shield pops, adds an extra layer to the wombo combo.

R- Monsoon -At the end of the channel, but only if channeled for the full duration. (Stops you from getting a free double knockback.) -Double the radius, so that it feels like you really get use out of the passive. Still only a slight disrupt. -Combos great if you use your passive with another ability to knock someone towards you, then bounce then further with a timely Monsoon.

Obviously, this adds a whole nother layer of cc to get already utility based kit. Because if this, some things just have to go.

-Her old passive is gone, so teammates no longer move faster towards her. -Her bonus magic damage on basic attack could be moved to her E passive, but the damage lowered. -Bonus movement speed from E gone. -Base movement speed increased a bit to help with the movement feel. -The AP ratio on Eye Of The Storm would have to be lowered a bit, because it'll also act as a double peel ability when the new suggested passive is ready.

Let me know what you think. Actual numbers are not final nor should be accepted as such. Thanks for your time.

don't see how this solves anything other than "you cannot shield and damage the opponent so now you are just worst Lulu in every single way so there is no reason at all to pick you"

Not sure how to say this, but you effectively made her far safer to play, without taking any of her utility away.

When you say untargetable do you mean like akali's shround, zed or kayn's r or like camille and kled. What't I'm asking is if she still takes dmg by AoE and DoT spells and if she can still get hit by skillshots. Because if she does it changes a lot.
