Just because I go Janna mid doesn't give you an excuse to ridicule and harass me

I simply can't handle the toxicity when I go mid Janna. People blame me for THEM dying over and over again to their lane opponent when I didn't even do anything to them. People use my pick as an excuse for any arguments they have against me. People dodge as soon as they see me go it. And what pisses me off the most, people blame me for their loss when I do so much better than them and say to report me. Like what???

Don't get me wrong, I don't pick Janna mid in every team comp. I play other things if we have the right amount of damage. My job is the spam tornadoes and shield everyone and ult if needed. But one could argue, why would you play Janna mid if you're just going to do that? The answer is simple. It's a very safe pick and the shields and damages late game are extremely high, much more powerful than if she was played as a support.

The sad thing is is that people tilt upon seeing me do it, which is out of my control. But it's fun to surprise them when I get first blood. But please don't dodge when I do it. It would make my life easier.

There's your answer for why Janna mid is bad. People blame you for dying over and over? It is your fault lol, unless they missed a mia or something. And seriously, what is your logic here, people blaming you even though you didn't do anything to them? If you died to someone, then it's your fault, rofl. Even if you didn't do "anything" to them you just made the game harder.

If this post had a non-support going support in the title, it'd have 7+ up votes by now. God this community is hypocritical.

No people, Illaoi cannot support any better than Janna can go mid.

AP Janna mid is basically a free mid lane for the enemy team.

There are a lot of reasons why Janna shouldn't be mid. I could write an essay about it but I'll just TL;DR it to the most important fact... Janna isn't a scaling champion. You are taking gold away from a champion that would otherwise have made better use of it.

Sure, you can play Janna mid, but you are severely impairing your team as a whole by doing so. If you want to do it, do it in normals, not in ranked and do not expect anyone to be happy about your choice.

Alright. So if you don't want to get flamed, don't pick Janna mid? It's that simple. And I know I'd dodge instantly if you pulled that shit in ranked.

I normally dont have a problem with off-meta picks, but AP Janna has been gutted so hard I would actually have a problem with that one

If it ain't ranked, don't harass the windbag. If it is ranked, they're going to be uptight about anything offmeta.

I feel like people misunderstood when I said "People blame me for dying over and over again to their lane opponent when I didn't even do anything to them." I meant them dying, not me. They're blaming me for my pick when I had nothing to do it. Hopefully that clears up the misunderstanding. :(

Janna mid is actually a sleeper pick. She can win against a lot of matchups (mainly assassins, she completely wrecks LeBlanc and Fizz for example, and is a very strong pick vs Cassiopeia and other skillshot based characters), and is a powerhouse late game with 500AP and 45% CDR. 1500+ HP Ults, 600+ HP Shields that give +100AD, and super wave clearing tornados? Yes pls. However, there are also very bad lanes for her that can wreck her harder than most champs, namely Yasuo and Annie. But the champs that completely destroy her are far outnumbered by champs that Janna can either go even or win against.

It takes skill and practice to get good with her in mid, much moreso than support.

I've played Mid Janna since season 1, and have no plans on giving it up.

I've found a lot of teams even in ranked are actually chill with it if you are relaxed and don't make a big deal about going Janna mid. You also get bonus points where the enemy thinks you're trolling and makes dumb mistakes and feeds you before they realize you're serious. I have a decent KDA with her, and I've had teammates who I've never met defend my pick to other raging teammates due to the stats I pull with her, even though they haven't seen AP Janna before.

But I've also dealt with idiots and morons like you have, OP, and they're not unlike the people toting "LAWL JANNA CANT MID" in the comments in this topic with no explanations or reasoning. Some people are just stupid, and parrot what everyone else tells them, and can't think critically. It's sad, but that's how most people are.

Janna has incredible AP Ratio's and can be an excellent mid pick if you have a bot lane Vayne/Leona combo, and if you rush a Luden's Echo, you can push hard even if your team starts losing. I've defended turrets 1v5 countless times on Janna because of her insane waveclear and turret shielding.

Looking at your profile it looks like you're a Leblanc trick pony that just started in Season 6? Could I see your real account?
