Know what would be one hell of a twist? If it was Janna who killed Yasuo's master and not Riven

Riven would be this red herring all along and it turns out that it was Janna who somehow killed the man who taught Yasuo to fight...

...granted it'd be more of a Shyamalan-twist than an actual one, because literally all evidence points directly to Riven already including Yasuo's dialogue. But still...imagine people's reactions if Riot went this route. It's a twist at the same calibre as Riot deciding to reveal that Senna intentionally left Lucian for Thresh and Lucian being in denial about it, killing Senna in jealous anger and concocting his own backstory.

...and imagine people trying to imagine how someone like Janna is capable of even doing enough damage to kill anyone.

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me. Janna originally came from Zaun, so there is no telling what kind of twisted thoughts are lying in her head. It's even mentioned in her lore.

The lore that is now officially un-official.

IIRC, she's been included in the preparations for a Mt. Targon event, which suggests that her origin is going to be moved from Zaun to Mt. Targon.

Dammit, Narrative.

Nothing is sacred. And 4.16 set the precedent for Riot and the Lore Team to have no respect for anything established.

Plot twist: Pantheon never knew how to jump that far with his R. It was all thanks to Janna hiding in the background using her wind to launch Pantheon all over the place whenever he wants to use his R.

Cheap bastard tried to pay only 2.50 a minute. Janna made an example out of him.

"Yes, it's true. For only $2.95 a minute, I will leave you breathless."....

OH MY GOD! Janna literally made Yasuo's master "breathless"!

Wait, wait, wait! Maybe Yasuo's master had that one terminal respiratory illness which 99% of the samurai seem to be afflicted with in various animes, and Janna offered him a painless way out?

She is from Zaun after all. Maybe she's Doctor Death in her spare time.

No...no no. If he's a samurai, he'd go the honourable path and commit sudoku instead of letting Janna mercy kill him.

Implying that Riot would actually ever continue or finish lore that they have started

Janna strangles you to death for $2.95. Makes sense now, eh?

5G8Nri0B541 votes

And some people'd be into that sort of stuff!

Depends what she strangles

Throw her in jail already, she's too dangerous to keep around

Too bad nobody can catch her...and anybody who gets too close are too distracted to take action(yes, even the women!), allowing her to quickly float away giggling.

Except nobody killed Yasuo's master....

"Yasuo was charged with guarding an Ionian Elder"

Then you realize Janna doesn't use a sword and had nothing to do with Ionian war.

According to Karma's old lore though, Janna seems to have been precent. I know it's technically not canon anymore, but there's nothing to contradict it either.

Yasuo definitely thinks Riven is responsible, but she makes no claims to own that. Also even though in game Janna doesn't do that much damage, Realize that Tornados and getting blown the fuck back 40 feet hurt like bitch.

With Janna's new splash showing us a more despondant and badass version of the champion, i could totally believe this little Zaunite mage could Kill Yasuo's master. Besides, whose going to immediately attack the floating bitch in a bikini? In a more realistic setting, Janna could be ruthless with her control of the wind.

Likewise before the rework Janna had been known to teach martial skills, as she did with Prework Karma, teaching her how to slice people to ribbons with her fan winds, and also how to heal them. He shields give AD, and she can conjure suicidal birds.

It'd actually be Quite intimidating for Yasuo i might think, trying to use wind to defeat the avatar of wind itself?

To be fair, in any setting ever, it'd take a real special kind of ass hole to even consider hitting a hot blonde chick wearing that just floating there. I don't care if she's trying to kill you, you don't fight back against a sight like that.
