Playing as Janna

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Release your tornado early to peel

    To peel, send Howling Gale (Q) right away by recasting it: charged, it travels farther and its knock-up lasts longer, but enemies have time to dodge it.

  2. Shield your carry before trades

    Cast Eye Of The Storm (E) on your carry right before they trade: while the shield holds, they gain AD.

  3. Poke with Zephyr

    Poke with Zephyr (W) in lane: it slows and damages its target, and Tailwind (passive) adds damage based on your bonus move speed.

  4. Knock back, then stand still

    Cast Monsoon (R) to push away whoever dives your carry, then stand still: moving or casting a spell cancels the heal.

Playing against Blitzcrank

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Rocket Grab (Q) catches the first enemy hit, so one minion is enough to block it.

  2. Step up after a missed grab

    Step up when Rocket Grab (Q) misses you: it has a 20 to 16 second cooldown, and without it he has to walk up to you with Overdrive (W).

  3. Respect his level 2

    Once he hits level 2, don't push far from your tower without vision of his brushes: Rocket Grab (Q) into Power Fist (E) knocks you into the air among his allies.

  4. Take the grab for your carry

    If you're tanky, stand in front of your carry: Rocket Grab (Q) catches the first enemy hit, and it's better if that's you.

  5. Don't count on a shield

    Near him, don't count on a shield: Static Field (R) destroys nearby enemies' shields and silences them.
