As much as I love SG Janna, I'm going to have to stop using it.

This is about the Star Guardian Janna skin affect gameplay, so yes this is the right board.

SG Janna creates a huge amount of noise that the default skin doesn't have. Honestly all of her abilities are more flashy and noisier, but in particular her Howling Gale is especially effected. Default Janna doesn't make hardly any sound when she places her gale. You can barely notice it until it's coming towards you.

SG Janna's Q has some of the loudest, most distinct SFX in the entire game. On other SG champions, it's not such a big deal, but Janna's Q is different. You can't just double tap Q and be effective, you have to allow it to charge up. All the noise and the brightness of it makes it easier to dodge. Assuming you're in a 5v5, 99% of the time SG Janna's abilities are going to be the main thing you hear and see. It's REALLY bad. https://youtu.be/m40BisZsth4?t=1m50s

Please at least fix her Q. Her other abilities can be as noisy as they want to be but her Q has so much unnecessary counterplay with this skin. While you're at it, please give the same treatment to forecast Janna. These skins are pay to lose right now and I feel bad using them as well as feeling bad using the default skin when I paid for the skin already.

tl;dr SG Janna is an unfair disadvantage for the team with the skin.

I think the noise of the ability plays much less of a role than you think it does, yes it's more noticeable visually and sound wise but it's not like people can't see or hear when the tornado is charging or coming at them. Enemies still don't know which direction it's going to move in. Just use the skin if you like it and don't worry about putting yourself or your team at a disadvantage because even if it does I really don't think it's going to be significant.

There was another comment regarding Forecast Janna being a free win for the enemy.

I believe that they are using sounds for casting animations for Color blind people, they wouldn't be able to see some of the particles.

People complained about Forecast Janna for the same reason. Go to r/Jannamains and you'll see a lot of other ppl who feel the same way you do.
