Lane Against Janna

Janna excels at poking with her W and auto-attacks, particularly targeting melee champions. Minimize exposure when collecting ward quest stacks. Watch for her defensive E cooldown - this is your window for counter-poke.

Stay aligned with your ADC when playing melee champions to avoid her harassment, and maintain proper positioning outside her range when you can't engage.

Counter Strategy

• Exploit her solo warding attempts by setting ambushes near objectives
• Counter her Q and R disruption by flanking in teamfights
• Build Executioner's Calling as AD champions to reduce her healing/shielding effectiveness
• Focus on all-in engages rather than trading when her W is available
• Take advantage of her W cooldown for aggressive plays

Power Spike Awareness

Early Game:

• Multiple points in W make her trades potent
• Focus on all-in engagements rather than short trades

Mid Game:

• Ardent Censer completion increases her lane presence
• Engage quickly to prevent sustained poke

Late Game:

• W utility makes her consistently strong
• Look for windows when W is on cooldown for aggressive plays

Best Counters

• Sona
• Thresh
• Lulu
• Maokai
• Braum

These champions typically perform well against Janna due to their ability to engage effectively or match her sustain and utility.
