So, Janna is still consider a Zaunite champ I see.

That's great, but can we inject more Zaun into her design next time Janna is up for a VU sometime in the next 5-10 years?

I always felt that the Zaun aspect of Janna's backstory is just so underutilized. To be fair, Janna, like many champs, is horribly lacking in the lore department so that's probably why. Anyway, I just think having more Zaun would give her design something more interesting & a better representative of her backstory than just a wind mage with gravity defying hair & a generic sexy girl outfit. But that's just me.

"But Jeddy, wasn't there an old lore piece saying she left Zaun to go to Piltover? What if that still carry over into the new canon?" In which case great & it works with the way the Zaun & Piltover relationship works now. BUT, her design would need more Piltover then.

"But Jeddy, wouldn't it just be Hextech Janna in both cases? Why not just buy the skin & roll with it?"

Well, Captain MF & Captain GP exists. So HT Janna could be a canon skin based on the champ at a certain point in their life. That or push HT Janna to be more like HT Annie.

"But Jeddy, what if the lore crew remove Zaun from her backstory & retcon her to somewhere else?" They didn't list Morgana or Kayle with the Demacian or Noxian champs. So it's safe to assume Janna wouldn't have been listed with the Zaun champs if they already planned move her. And if they do eventually, that's great. Then they could completely ignore this post.

Honestly, out of all the League Champions, Janna has always felt thematically off for me She doesn't really fit in comfortably in the world, and is a relic of "throw archetypes at the wall and see what sticks"

Shaco has a similar problem

imo she doesn't really need any zaunite additions to her. she left so she doesn't really fight for that team, nor does her personality fit zaun. plus she inherently has magic and does not rely on technology, which puts her really on the away side of the spectrum as far as zaunite characteristics go. Being born in a place doesn't mean you are part of that team.

She could be similar to Ekko in that she grew up poor, but instead of staying with her friends she gets out of Zaun and gains influence. Influence she tries to use to help the downtrodden of Zaun.
