I can't believe it took so long for people to finally realize maxing Janna W is optimal.

Phy finally talks about using W as a max first but I'm just surprised no one before has realized that a Janna can win 90% of trades starting at level 1, either forcing an all in, which can be negated at level 2, or forcing you to lose to AA - > W from a Janna. It's honestly disgusting to play against and makes the enemy ADC life really hard from cs denial, but apparently it's only starting to gain traction in Korea now.

This is also how I managed to get an S+ rank on Janna last season. That shit's op.

It's not that they just realized it.

It's that she hasn't had a good reason to show up until now and he's just spouting whatever sounds good because Phy.

think about it this way; why would you have picked damage-oriented Janna over Brand or Zyra when both of those are significantly better at setting up for a Lucian? Well, now that we have more scaling ADs in the meta that need protection, Janna is a much higher priority than before.

I used to go Max W janna because I liked the amount of point and click damage I got, but also the safety of a Q and the shielding on the E. The Ultimate is also great at keeping the ADC safe, so it's really easy to baby sit the ADC if it's a hyperscaling champion. I'm not "repeating what Phy is saying", I literally said that I've been doing this for a long time.

what Rock MD said, Janna is just showing up in the meta again.

Janna W max is absolutely nothing new.

TL:DR: Bruiser AD skarner's good RK lethality MF is great People keep maxing W on janna, but this time with scorch & comet for even more point-click damage. Hecarim's busted with conqueror and wins 60% of the games shorter than 20-25 mins Kayle wins 70% of the games past lvl 16 Taliyah's not as bad as people think, most likely beats current meta picks.
