Rework Janna with skillshots?

The Great Duck··2 votes·464 views

So maybe it takes an ounce of brainpower to play that champion and make it more of a situational pick for a change? Point-and-clicking a fat shield with AD buffs on an ADC for low mana costs and pretty low cooldown is an absurdly powerful ability.

you high dude? her shield costs 110 mana a pop and the AD only lasts so long as the shield does.

Are YOU high? That's max ranked. And entertaining the idea of it costing 110 mana early wouldn't be an issue considering she has decent mana regen too

Her e has a massive cd early on and costs quite a lot of mana, her q is already a somewhat hard to land skill shot with a large mana cost, and her ult also has a large cd and mana cost, and has to be channeled for the full effect. The only thing I could understand complaining about is her w poke damage, and you can see when that ability is up, and she has to put herself into a dangerous position to use it. She has quite a bit of counterplay built in if you pay attention

Unless that moron is spamming her abilities like URF, she has no real mana problems or risk. She has a very safe cast range and can freely shield herself, walk up and poke you down and exhaust if needed be and repeat in about 30 seconds losing only a small net amount of mana in exchange for a lot of damage output, especially if her ADC is a functioning brain and trades when minion wave is in their favor. The idea of Q is to just quick cast it as soon as they're behind you for an easy escape; no good Janna player mindlessly throws tornadoes in lane (messes up minion wave, mana cost, easy to dodge at mid/long range, etc). That's like seeing an MF press E for harass -- then you know it's a free lane ;)

If they are skillshots, she would get even more power. Maybe just don't lose.

Next to Lulu and Nami, she's the easiest support to use in the game, and arguably the strongest. Those two qualities should never complement each other.
