ARAM Janna?

So I'm decent with Janna in rift, got a 62% win rate with her in ranked this season, but I can't seem to be able to make things happen with her in ARAM.

She's supposedly op in ARAM, so any advice you can give would be appreciated.

Buy cdr (max it asap) and full charge your hurricane each time and you'll have constant q's. You quite literally blow them away. Aim for the minions most of the time (try to hit both minions and champs but minion pushing is a priority) to keep them pushed and use your shield to mitigate turret damage. Your ult should be used in the same manner as if in summoner rift but instead used as a hp top off (ping for your team to gather behind turret and ult - if lane is pushed to enemy team and they need it e.g. opp team has enough hp to dive and wreck you team).

If you predict how the enemy is gonna act (looks like they're gonna engage) you can divert your q's to counter their engage and use your shield and slow alongside it to halt most offences.

AP. All the AP. Is what does wonders for her in ARAM. Most people just go in there and build the typical support items on champions like her, but no, you want full AP if you want her to do anything in ARAM.

As you spam maxed tornadoes, you WILL run oom without MP5

Don't neglect W. It's powerful and actually kind of useless if you don't level it up.

Level up tornadoes just enough so they almost kill every minion in the wave, but you don't want to hog all the farm yourself. You want to help your team clean up easily.

Spam shield pretty much everytime it's up, either on your turret or on whichever teammate is likely to get poked (or an AD who can poke).

TBH though I don't see how you cannot win with Janna she's a total faceroll...

  1. Build AP. Forget support utility items, you want that sweet, sweet AP.
  2. Max Q, full charge tornadoes, spam them constantly.
  3. Grab item 2003x5 item 2004x5 item 1056 item 3114 on your first buy. That's CDR, mana regen, and heavy sustain all at once to keep your Q's coming. summoner 13 is nice, if you or your ally choose to take it.
  4. item 3165 is the item I would probably rush. It gives all three stats Janna is looking for in ARAM: CDR, mana sustain, and AP. In addition, Grievous Wounds is extremely helpful if the enemy team has heals/self healing. Generally, in the first 10 minutes or so of an ARAM match, the team that out-sustains the other is at a huge advantage.
  5. After your Morellos, you can consider item 3158 for CDR, item 3285 for more damage and waveclear, item 3100 for more mana and a W+Auto burst combo, and item 3089 because moar AP.

I like to start with chalice and coin. Gives you health and mana sustain. Have won a handful of games with still only having those 2 items.
