Why is Janna there? She's good but definitely not cancer

Ben Sharpio23 votes

you cant be serious

PiVoRx3 votes

Janna is a support that is under the radar for ages, her abilities maybe not seem cancerous but are pain in the ass for sure.

Spice POWAH2 votes

I think the main reason is because very few people play her at low elo, honestly, plus a lot of people consider her to be soraka levels of boring(to play I mean). if something happened to cause Janna to become meta in silver & below, she will get nerfed.

kamikazephyr1 votes

In that case no support will ever get nerfed. Welcome to bronze and silver, where support is just a mid with an optional sightstone!

And Janna can be garbage. With high cooldowns and low scalings, you need to actually wait to use it. In bronze I've seen Janna's use Q to poke. Not even with a follow up. Just purely Q damage poke. Lol. So that scenario is def never gonna happen.

Spice POWAH1 votes

Well, anyone can be garbage with a champ. I use Janna's Q similarly to thet, but I use it to try to deny creeps and distract them, besides, might as well use abilities or I'm just wasting mana regen since I start item 3301 item 1004 on her, unless I'm losing in which case I save it for peel. In bronze I had to use nothing but morgana last season because there was a blitzcrank literally every game and my carry didn't know how to dodge or hide. Once I had first pick and I was gonna go janna, but then I had a feeling I should go morg, so I pick morg. Lo and behold, the enemy then proceeds to pick Blitz/Cait bot lane into a Morgana.

Try playing anything melee into a competent Janna. Then get back to me.

It looks like Yasuo VS Poppy if she blocked all the dashes.

She gives like a billion ad with a shield that is pretty damn op plus now redemption with her ult is quite annoying.

The Whamboozler2 votes

According to the tooltip, it only gives a MILLION AD, sir. I'm going to half to ask you to stop exaggerating.

TotalJerk2 votes

"A billion AD"

lolno. It's hardly a lot.She's cancer because:

  • every single one of her spells is a strong disengage
  • she's extremely fast
  • she almost never dies

When Mejai's is core on a champion (especially a fucking support) you know there's a problem.

every single one of her spells is a strong disengage

Passive makes all enemies faster than you when they are running away, Q knocks you up and threatens space, W allows her to slow you, E absorbs tons of damage and gives her target the edge in fights, and ult both throws you off your target, and undoes the damage you just did.

She's extremely fast

up to 17% movement speed almost passively, plus it scales with AP. She also has strong synergy with basically every movespeed granting support item, so she'll buy even more. item 3113 is a favorite early buy. All of this means that she is usually just automatically faster than almost every other champion under most circumstances. Once she gets enough Mejais stacks, that's 10% more movespeed.

she almost never dies the combination of her movement speed and peeling/protection abilities is bad enough, but to top that off she almost never has to be in a remotely risky position to function.

Level 7 Janna main here. all of this is the main reason Janna's actually good. She's been nerfed a lot over the years, but she'll at worst be decent as long as she's the fastest person on her team, although I haven't seen Janna EVER buy a mejai's(outside of full AP). Instead she gets eitheritem 3092 oritem 3069 for movement or chase potential. Also, Janna does have to put herself at risk to peel because her uncharged tornado and ult is short range, plus she doesn't channel her ult for the full duration unless there are no more threats. Using her w causes her to lose a huge chunk of her MS(since she builds item 3117 )and Janna doesn't have a lot of room in her build for AP besidesitem 3504 .

Vi ? Thresh ? Ahri ?

Elaborate.

PiVoRx8 votes

Vi press R to turn off, broken damage with no items Thresh usefull no matter how behind Ahri unkillable

l Helios l16 votes

Vi press R to turn off,

Malzahar R? Warwick R? Point?

broken damage with no items

Is that defined as item 3078 or item 1412 as her only damage items? Most Vi's I see have both, maybe replace item 3078 with item 3071 . Regardless, that's not no items. A lot of Champions have pretty solid base damage.

Thresh usefull no matter how behind

You mean, the entire point of utility? What fun is it for the person who's behind if all they can do is take a few hits and die instantly?

Ahri unkillable

She has 3 dashes in a short burst duration. CC and you win. Outdamage her and then fight again when her ult is on CD.

Surprised you didn't include people like Darius or Illaoi or Fiora or Brand . I see way more QQ about these than Thresh.

PiVoRx1 votes

Malzahar R? Warwick R? Point?

You really compare Warwick toVi ? Or maybe it has point since WW is just worse Vi..

Not trash tier ones XinZhao .

Again thats how trash tier champions actually work right now MasterYi.

Her ult like all other abilities is on insane low CD (6 sec E, holy shit), in what elo Ahri just goes to fight without her ult? Definetly not in Diamond.

Surprised you didn't include people like Darius or Illaoi or Fiora or Brand . I see way more QQ about these than Thresh.

Maybe cause they get shit on by Kennen or Jayce. And Brand has fall so hard hes played more as a support than mid.

l Helios l5 votes

You really compare Warwick toVi ? Or maybe it has point since WW is just worse Vi..

Same principle. Point and click CC. You cited two things about her that's cancer: 1. Ult and 2. Damage. Ult is no different than almost any other CC in the game. Two examples right there for ya. If you don't like WW comparison, try the Malz one.

Not trash tier ones XinZhao .

You mean the guy with a 59% win rate in top lane and 58% in JG for people with 125+ games on him? The 9th highest win rate in JG is trash tier? While Eve, who is "cancer" is at 26th? That makes sense >.> Even so, Wukong has the highest damaging Ult in the game, so where's he if damage is the issue?

Again thats how trash tier champions actually work right now MasterYi.

You complain about me comparing WW to Vi, and then compare Yi to Thresh? Lmao, Yi is a champion who does literally nothing if he's behind, so you're asserting that if you lose early, you shouldn't be able to do anything later in the game, right? Weird, because that's how a lot of people feel the game is already...

Her ult like all other abilities is on insane low CD (6 sec E, holy shit), in what elo Ahri just goes to fight without her ult? Definetly not in Diamond.

6s? Try 12 seconds, 7.2 at 40% CDR. >.>

If you get her ult and your team starts baron then she has to or just not be there at all. So there's that.

Maybe cause they get shit on by Kennen or Jayce. And Brand has fall so hard hes played more as a support than mid.

You pick two champions out of all of top lane. I don't see either of those very frequently, usually I'm the one playing Jayce.

Brand support is still brand. Group up, brand ult + passive does work. Still works pretty well.

that's how i felt in my last game

selection ended and i was like "what cancer has the enemy team, and what do we have?"

thanks for expressing my feelings

RainbowIcee2 votes

It must be an unpopular opinion but I've fail to understand how people find jungle evelynn such a huge problem when she's extremely vulnerable. I've seen people come try and counter jungle me when I'm running nautilus jungle(whoop some ass) but they can't do the same for when they're fighting evelynn jungle? [zombie-brand-clap]

CarbonFighter3 votes

This is just downright bullshit... Champion mastery > Champion strength

Sanctimonious2 votes

To an extent. It doesn't matter how good you are at Teemo, A diamond Annie would tear the daylights out of him. In my elo where games last 25 mins, it's fairly important.

CarbonFighter2 votes

"Your Elo" is the same as mine... Mr. Carbon is my main... anyhow with that being said...

Itemization... skill level... and match up knowledge play a much larger role than the champion strength and weaknesses.

You just used a red herring fallacy with the "annie vs teemo thing" too.... so I guess Ill address that as well... A teemo flashes annie bear and has already built item 3102 item 3091 who wins the match up then? Your argument is very simplistic and overgeneralized

Sanctimonious1 votes

The point isn't the bad example, but that Meta characters are much more impactful than a lot of other picks. If you're such a proficient D3 Teemo that you're able to take matters forward against a pantheon of even skill, that's great. It still doesn't change the fact that he has a million ways to counter you, and you have a much more limited response.

This threads really about diversity, any example could follow and sort of work. We want to see more diversity than the same 5-6 champions per role.

CarbonFighter3 votes

Please explain to me "Off-Meta" one tricks that make their way into challenger and master then?

Please also explain why we see "respect" bans in LCS and professional level play...

What you are arguing is that if I don't play one of those champions you listed... I will lose... and it's flat out bullshit...

Because I didn't get to Diamond on 2 accounts playing a single champion on that list...

So I'll repeat again... Champion mastery > Champion strength

Sanctimonious1 votes

I never said that. Don't put words in my mouth.

CarbonFighter4 votes

if you dare to use anything out of this roster you are just burden to your team and drasticly lower your chances for winning.

Sanctimonious1 votes

That's correct for the majority of the population. Problem?

CarbonFighter2 votes

But it's very clearly not.... It's actually the complete opposite... I guarantee that I could one trick Urgot and get into high plat if not low diamond (The top 1%).

That's why one tricking is a very clear and beneficial strategy for those trying to climb

Kinnikuko3 votes

You people just like to complain I swear.

Hepolite2 votes

you forgot to include Cho'gath. I frequently get triples and quadras on Cho, and it's primarily ME that does the dmg. That is not a burden, and he's easy to carry with. Doesn't mean you always win, lord knows I bitch a lot...But yeah, those are the most commonly seen champs.

dunder kill5 votes

Cho is garbage can levels of bad lol. Anyone with half a brain just walks out of his damage

Hepolite2 votes

yeah, that's why he rapes teams. if you think Cho is garbage, you're just garbage with Cho.

dunder kill9 votes

Not trying to be a dick but what works in Bronze is literally meaningless.

Hepolite2 votes

if you think he's only used in bronze, you're an idiot.

dunder kill3 votes

He's used other places, but he's bad lol

Hepolite2 votes

no, just the people playing Cho are bad. a person that knows the champ, and plays him well, destroys.

dunder kill1 votes

How would you know?

Hepolite3 votes

how would you prove otherwise?

dunder kill1 votes

This is my smurf acc lol. Feel free to check my match history and see what happens when I play against Gold and Silver players

Hepolite2 votes

what does that have anything to do with anyone playing Cho? The argument is moot...Just because you do well with unrelated Champs, doesn't make you an expert on Cho. I do well many champs as well. Doesn't make me an expert on the ones I'm not proficient with...

AmetDeCrypt3 votes

I must remind you both that the conversation was not about what champions are strong per se but rather what champions are cancerous, and chodegath is most assuredly cancer to play against.

Sanctimonious5 votes

Literally rush item 3006 (Tier 2 boots) and laugh as he proceeds to try to land anything.

Hepolite2 votes

never had an issue landing anything...you may miss once in a while, but if you can't land the majority of your stuff, you can't play the champ.

dunder kill5 votes

You're telling multiple Diamond players to hit their skillshots. Lol.

Hepolite1 votes

doesn't matter if a person is Diamond. Diamond doesn't make them master of all champs. Climb down off the pedestal. If you suck with Cho, and can't land your skills the majority of the time, you are terrible with Cho. Plain and simple.

dunder kill2 votes

Thats because, like I said, anyone with half a brain just walks out of his damage. Congrats on being able to land skillshots on bronze players

Spoofghoul1 votes

. . .

there is a thing called predicting your enemies movements

they all have movement patterns

anyone ranked diamond should have figured that out or he/she is a boosted scrub

dunder kill3 votes

And you would know that they can predict yours. The truth of the matter is that someone with tier 2 boots can straight up walk out of his Q even if its placed right on top of them.

Instead we have bronze players telling Diamond player they're bad. What a joke. Enjoy bronze.
