[2.3] Become the storm! Janna guide
Become the storm! Janna guide
Pros
- Has the fastest movement speed potential out of everyone!
- Incredibly strong level 1 powerspike.
- Can deny any hard engage champions.
- So far the only support in the game that offers bonus AD
- Can freaking float!!!!!!!!!!!
Cons
- Has no heals besides her ult, making her weaker against healer supports in early game.
- Gets easily countered by champions like Nami, who can initiate fights from far.
- Her main form of crowd control takes ALOT of time to fully charge
- Her poke range is rather short - has to get close to use it.
- Her ult is a huge "stun me" sign, and can be easily shut down by a single CC ability.

Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
Janna
's passive gives her 8% bonus movement speed regarding of what she does, and upgrading
Zephyr
first will give her yet another 8% boost. Buying
Boots of Speed
first, along with these two bonuses, will turn you into the FASTEST level 1 champion in the game! This will allow you to deep-ward or check bushes with much more ease when the game starts, since no one will be able to catch up to you.
I would always rush boots item first, since
Janna
benefits a lot from movement speed. However, I don't think she really needs
Boots of Swiftness
as badly as people may think. Janna is already fast enough even without them in my opinion, and boots such as
Ionian Boots of Lucidity
are much more beneficial, since they offer the bonus ability haste and the shorter summoner spells cooldown. I would also attach
Redeeming Enchant
or [locket enchant], depending on the situation, of course.
After that, the trio of support items comes in:
Ardent Censer
for adc's who benefit from attack speed,
Harmonic Echo
to give your shields a healing ability as well, and
Athene's Unholy Grail
for more heals and MR.
DO NOT TAKE
Zeke's Convergence
OR
Protector's Vow
. I REPEAT, DO NOT TAKE THESE ITEMS!!!
Sure, these items might make you a bit bulkier and harder to take down, but these items offer NO BONUS AP! In all my guides I talked about how more AP= Better heals, shields and buffs, and in
Janna
's case, her bonus AD from her
Eye Of The Storm
scales with AP! if you manage to get to later stages of the game and have
Rabadon's Deathcap
in your arsenal, your
Eye Of The Storm
will give as much as 75 BONUS AD! Imagine a
Draven
with that buff!!!
If you somehow do reach your last item, which is very unlikely to happen, you can either take
Lich Bane
for bonus ability haste, AP and movement speed, or
Morellonomicon
for the anti-heal effect.
Janna Runes
Best Runes for Janna
I would take
Summon Aery
for bonus pokes and shields,
Weakness
since besides your shiled, every other ability triggers it.
Loyalty
to help your adc be a little bit more beefy, and
Manaflow Band
to use your skills a little bit more carelessly without having to recall every two seconds.

Learn how to maximize the champions potential
If you managed to fully stack a
Howling Gale
and hit the enemy, make sure to basic attack FIRST before you use
Zephyr
, as you will have bonus magic damage.
Make the perfect healing storm by combining
Monsoon
and
Redeeming Enchant
together. The areas of effects are the exact same size!
If you want to poke but afraid of taking damage while doing so, just shield yourself first :)
Janna Matchups & Counters
Detailed information on how to play matchups and counters
This guy is as useful as a garlic at a vampire dinner when he's level 1 - the complete exact opposite of you! Harass him during that time and he might be so low, he won't be even able to engage! Also your
Monsoon
can push him away when he goes in.
The Hextech Ultimatum
Explosive Cask
Tidal Wave
How to bring the storm
1. Always be the leader of any chase. Remember that
Tailwind
gives bonus movement speed to allies moving TOWARDS Janna.
2. You can also use that and lead a retreat, just remember to always be the first one ahead.
3.You are the fastest level 1 champion - make use of it by invading and deep-warding!
4. Remember that
Eye Of The Storm
also gives bonus AD, so make use of it offensively by giving it to your adc or any AD base champion before they go in for an attack.
5.Use
Howling Gale
as a safety net to either ward in the enemy bushes or seal areas where they might walk through. If they try to jump you or pass through - Release the storm on their butts!
6. Don't use
Monsoon
Just to heal your team. Remember that this is a tool to push back engaging champions and reset the fight for your team.
7. During laning, try to place
Howling Gale
in bushes or behind walls, so the enemy won't know when they are coming to hit them.
8.Remember that your adc is not the only one who benefits from
Eye Of The Storm
bonus AD. Other champions like
Olaf
,
Lee Sin
and even
Akali
can benefit from this ability, as they have AD scaling.
9. Stay calm and collected, don't get angry and be focused :)
