Janna Counter Play
Laning Phase Tips:
- Watch for Janna's W + auto-attack poke pattern
- Trade aggressively when her shield (E) is on cooldown
- As melee champions, stay aligned with your ADC to avoid isolated harassment
- Focus on all-in engages rather than short trades
Mid-Late Game Strategy:
- Look for picks when Janna roams to ward alone
- Flank in teamfights to bypass her disengage abilities
- Build Executioner's Calling to counter her healing and shielding
- Coordinate engages when her W is on cooldown
Key Power Spike Windows:
- Early Game: Exploit before she gets multiple points in W
- Mid Game: Force fights before Ardent Censer completion
- Late Game: Coordinate burst damage through her utility
Important Cooldowns to Track:
- Shield (E): Primary defensive tool
- Howling Gale (Q): Main disengage
- Zephyr (W): Trading and mobility tool
Focus on eliminating Janna early in fights to remove her powerful peeling abilities from teamfights. Quick, decisive engages work better than extended skirmishes where she can utilize her full utility kit.
