Among the original 40 champions, she is one of the some who have not had a modern visual update yet. She did get one awhile ago, but it's so outdated now that she actually needs another. Her model is bad, her hair makes no sense, her skills barely have any particles and it's just bleh.
Forbidden Siren19 votesStill better than her original model:

Good times...

I'd say all of these champs would have to be updated before Janna would even be considered.
50000000000000009 votesA lot of them need a full VGU, not just VU.
Witch of Babylon2 voteswhy zilean
Igotlazy2 votesHis head looks like Broccoli.
SpecterVonBaren11 votesThey need to update him so they can give him this for his dance.
Jonxx1 votesAs Zilean main I approve.
Glory to God1 votesHe's a male Evelynn.
Garentheon2 votesAbout to be 2017 and Pizza Feet is still a thing
Moonboy651 votesGalio and Warwick are on the Champion Update Schedule and the rest all need a VGU as Riot stopped giving solo Visual Updates
PoopSandwichHD1 voteswhy is on this? sure, he could use a small VU but I'd say for now, hes fine. Also with i'm pretty sure riot or it was just going around that his Ultimate skin is his VU.
Oleandervine8 votesWell, she was updated around the time Kayle and Morgana were updated too. Judging by the fact that Morgana and Janna just got skins, this may not happen anytime soon (though I'd love if they did, they need it).
oSEXYPLATYPUSo5 votesyes as long as they make her phone operator voice her voice over for all janna skins
[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
Moonboy651 votespretty sure Forecast Janna won't get a new VO since it's one of the modern skins (and weather forecast don't talk like phone operators lol)
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votesa guy can dream cant he ?
Moonboy651 votesof course you can, I'd totally go for a new VO for Janna in general (and new splashes obviously)
Warlord Dienekes1 votesPersonally I think they should just change all Janna's VO to be the original VO. It was just so good, truly the finest VO to ever come from Riot.
rtbf2256182413 votesIncluding some decent clothes. This toilet paper wrapping is just insulting.
OurLestrade2 votesI'm still waiting for the day they make Kayle normal sized. Funny to think how heavily she and Morgana featured in those early LOL trailers :O
Ben Sharpio2 votesi think urgot/warwick/nunu are in more need of a VGU than janna...
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votesi agree but at least give her the phone operator voice over for all skins
and ill be happy
Moonboy652 votesWarwick is on the Champion Update Schedule bro
HazyCloud72 votesShe needs a full gameplay update, so her play style isn't point click E on adc and press R to screw over any melee champ when they get near. Change her to something that requires skill to play; ditto true for Soraka. Gear her more toward champions like Bard and Nami, who are well-balanced ranged supports that require skill to play and have great pay off for people who play them at a high level.

You seem extremely salty. Janna's kit has many different uses and does in fact require a good bit of thought to use correctly. Also, she's meant to counter engages and mobility champs, that's the entire point. Don't like it= ban her. No one got time for your rant.
HazyCloud72 votesI wont ban her because i don't think she's even remotely overtuned, and more often than not I don't play melee champions.
Getting outplayed by a talented Bard, Nami, Karma or Morgana to name a few doesn't feel like i got jipped, i have nothing against the support role in general and supports tend to be the nicest people in my experience. I just think a few of them require very little skill to play. Namely Janna, Soraka and Sona.

Odinakos1 votesBan what you dont feel comfortable playing against. My main ban is Soraka because i dont like her heals and boring laning phase. She is not the most powerful but the most annoying for me.
Also a lot of champions require little skill to play but eventually they all have more in them to master. Janna while very easy and defensive she has little offensive capabilities. There is little she can do against lane bullies like Nami, Sona and Zyra that all can outtrade her shield. And there is where a good Janna may shine. Because i have played the Zyra-Janna matchup quite a few times, i can tell you that the difference beween Jannas was significant thought subtle. The most was 2 kills worth of cs on her adc at mid game.
At the end we can all describe kits as easy. Vitor all he has to do is E waves, throw a W on teamifhts and ult squishies. Simple right?
OHminus1 votesAlso lol to the thought that Morgana/Nami are hard to play. Karma is pretty easy too.
Sexy Jack Rabbit1 votesYou're seriously complaining about Janna being hard to verse?
Witch of Babylon1 votesShe is if you're a melee
RainbowIcee2 votesI think there's champions that need it a lot more than janna. Example evelynn. She looks like goku's SSJ
XD haha2 votesJanna is an interesting champion. Though she's not in a seriously unbalanced state, some vgu might be nice for her after the main-concern champions get reworked. For one, her forecast's zephyr needs to have it's animation last longer, and her hair def needs the new visual mechanism discovered for sol's tail and yorick's cape (right now it looks as if it's just a giant stick with too much hair gel, and she swings it around when she turns like a baton)
Thematically she is really lacking in that wind/weather feeling. For example azir players actually gets that emperor feeling, when you verse sol you'll certainly be gazing at his stars, taliyah's overall mobility makes her feel like a little pecking bird trying to go from branch to branch while her cc like weaver's wall and the stone traps gives her that sense of safety from mother earth (the great weaver); jhin's abilities literally test your sniping skills while that spine chillingly calmness between autos make you feel like a cold blooded killer; if you think about it, all of these cleverly designed kits and many more really helps you appreciate the theme of the champion. Janna has none of that.
A good question to ask is, if you remove all of her particles, and the names and any other artistic references to "wind" or weather, would you still see her as a windweaver? Same with lulu, if you were to remove all of her glittery particles, would you see her as a fae sorceress? Not really. You can literally swap the two themes and particles, and they can still fit quite well. It's true that Janna is balanced, she has her footing in a player's selection of supports. But "super fun and exciting to play"? "unique in play style?" "aligns with wind/ storm fantasies"? No, i don't think so.
Right now, you can either wait for riot's roster update, when they are going to update supports (enchanters) and hope they include janna in it. Or wait till they finish updating all the champions that people listed here and in other places that's more significantly unbalanced than janna. If you ask me I wouldn't rush for just a visual update, purely because a full vgu might be more exciting.

As someome with 300k points on her, I really disagree. Her Q is one of the most unique skillshots in the game. Her E is something to be reckoned with on its own, and her W's passive makes her incredibly fast. Her kit is actually in a great state and doesn't need any real changes if you'd ask me. She floats, is fast, has a bird pet and shoots tornados. She's fine tbh.
And yes, a vgu would be exciting, but I'd rather not have them destroy Janna like I know her. First that weird look change (white hair, no sun tattoo), then a complete kit change? Might as well change her name and lore while they're at it. It could be hit or miss and I'd rather not take the chance considering I think she's fine now.
SoQuiche1 votesI would be happy with a simple update to her staff ;.;
Blåbæret1 votesJanna is in no way or shape in need of a visual update. She also just got a new skin if you didn't notice.
Sexy Jack Rabbit1 votesWould be nice to see her recieve a visual update, but to be honest her skins look fine, it's just her base model that is kinda ick. Just switch to her Legendary or Star Guardian skin and the problem is solved until they can update her.

Sukishoo1 votesToo bad they don't do VUs these days as VGUs serve better overall for the state of the game. Janna though doesn't really needs much gameplay changes as she's pretty decent..so it might be awhile before we see anything there.
