You destroyed Janna's original lore, kit, and her character almost completely, Riot.

Okay, Riot. You've completely destroyed a champion that i used to love and the only one i mastered.

I played over 3500 games on Janna, i appreciated her for being a sort-of someone who wanted to better the world, growing up from poverty since i can relate to that. I loved all her hidden powers in her kit, that you could do SO MUCH by not afk shielding like someone with an inability to learn to do anything but that. I explained how and the various things in detail to many people, including how you can have 6 actives and 0 AP and be more skill oriented than a fucking Azir player with Rylai's just because you have to take piano lessons to think in so many directions at once and press so many buttons at once.

  • You ruined her splash art, she became a 45 year old elf.

  • Her lore now has her existing/not existing through the folklore of some fishermen near Zaun. Are you fucking kidding me? Meaning there will never be any meaningful interaction between her and any future lore unless it revolved around another one of those "stories". She's not even human anymore and nothing more but a potential background character for someone else.

  • And eventually you ruined her gameplay by making her damage oriented so all the idiots don't have to learn items anymore that always built AP to make it easier to do their job (at less effectivness but still, it's disgusting it worked to keep her at a high win rate through all that and now it's escalated to a whole new level).

Thank you for destroying a character who i found to be someone who fights with honor and determination, only to be violated so much that she is nothing but a shell of her former self anymore. The fucking retards who came up with these ideas should be fired from Riot. She lost her fire thanks to them and I will not be playing her again. Not consistently at the very least unless these gameplay changes get reverted because they are disgusting and the opposite direction she had to go towards - Utility, where she always belonged. Not damage.

You never learn Riot. Empty promises as usual to listen to experienced players who really know their stuff instead of the majority of the people who view her as a whore due to her ridiculous attire and their obvious preference of boobs > reasoning. People also suggested to change her name from The Storm's Fury, which i find badass as hell just to further turn her into a generic fairy anime girl which she never was.

Might as well go ahead and change her name then just to finish her off.

But at this point, i'd prefer if you just deleted the champion from League because every time i look at her, i get an instinct to pick her but i can't anymore because of how you ravaged her.

i thought janna was a prostitute growing up...

Goes to prove my point.

Well idk if riot wants one of their hero's being known as a prostitute haha might look bad for the younger audience.

rtbf2256182411 votes

It's questionable, because it was excused by her "Wind Mage" theme.

haha I'm just trolling I agree her lore could use some love. If you really are that passionate about her maybe write up a lore you think would be good and send it in as a suggestion! If riot likes your work it could be implemented!

rtbf2256182411 votes

That has never happened and never will. Riot doesn't implement fanfic into official lore. At least not anymore because i think when the JoJ (Journals of Justices) existed then they may have put little easter eggs. Never a full blown story written by someone they'd have to pay and give credit to who isn't on Riot's own team.

When her lore got replaced by this little bedtime story, i told them what went wrong and why. Nothing has changed as you can see.

Wait. Did her splash change recently? Doesnt she still have a flat angular face that looks to much like that of a generic man?

Look at this! Look what they did to her neck and her face! She has a weird long neck and a way uglier, aged face. Not to mention she doesn't seem very graceful in the "updated" splash which also puts forth her body over her powers for.....reasons.

Imagine if the qualities of the splash arts were swapped.

Why does aggressive = better? She could still be aggressive, the way the people played her doesn't mean that's the way she can be played and the only way people should play. I've never met anyone like me who plays her without afk-E spam and actually moves around, poking with the Bandit mastery and utilizing her kit in risky but powerful ways.

It's just sad that idiots can shape this champion.

yea ... listen bro , they did a few changes , they didn't reworked her or something .. what could evelyn/urgot or whatever mains say that their champion is 100% reworked?

rtbf2256182411 votes

Both are improvements over their original selves. This is completely different and it seems to me you haven't read what i wrote at all saying "They did a few changes.." when they've slowly torn her apart from the inside over the past 2 years.

That is, you know, your opinion.

My opinion is that Janna got improve. Btw, having 6 active slots (also counting the trinket) isn't particularly hard as support.

rtbf2256182412 votes

Which is ironically irrelevant as that is also, you know, your opinion.

I've never seen anyone build the same items as me. When you are left handed on the mouse, it is very hard. Especially when you're thinking about all of their uses in a heated fight for example or positioning yourself the best to make the most out of Talisman/Locket and whether to use it ona dying teammate or the one who may or may not have the potential to turn it around for us regardless.

Noone has 6 eyes.

Well obviously it's hard. But it's the difference between a decent support and a great support.

You!

I've been looking for you!

How has the new Azir been playing? I have played a game with him already, but against a difficult matchup so I can't see his full might.

Tell me fellow Shuriman, how is our emperor?

Lauchmelder1 votes

To be honest I haven't had time to try him yet.

I'm on a tight schedule between playing an MMO, managing my Minecraft server, playing PUBG and playing 1-2 ARAMs with friends. I plan on going for a few ranked games this weekend though, so I'll see how it works out.

rtbf2256182411 votes

That doesn't change the fact that it's hard. Just because Chowie is good doesn't mean it's easy for him.

Point being, they removed her "easy-path" (spam E) and replaced it with a thematically conflicting mechanic that goes against her design aswell.

Don't be sad, she still has them huge titties.
