With Janna, it's all about positioning her skills. If you can do that correctly, and know when to initiate i'm sure you'll do fine! :)

Thank you for the vote. :D

I main supports and I started a series of support guides, but this guides is a good example why I feel it unneccessary to write on Janna - your guide already covers my thoughts and playstyle on her and is an excellent piece of work. Upvote :D


My builds are unusual and give you a different view ...

My Support Guides --- Lux - Taric

My Jungle Guides --- Cassiopeia - Nasus

My Mid Guides --- Skarner - Ezreal


I appreciate feedback on My Encyclopedia on Champion Builds.

Overall, a very good general guide. Usually I have more to say, but ony a couple of things stood out.
- Exhaust: I'm not against supports using this spell at all, but Janna seems less built for it. If you have a support who can heal but has less cc ( Sona or Soraka) then Exhaust compliments their skillset. Janna however, has a built in slow and knock up without even taking into account her ult, but doesn't have a heal she can really use in lane. She'd be more of a complete package if you subbed Heal for Exhaust imo.

Runes: I'm not really that sure how I would change them, but I hate using so many secondary runes. Then again, don't play supports that often, so keep them how they are, but maybe consider alternatives.

General pet peeve: Scout is a waste of a mastery point even for a support. 5% is nothing; I've seen pictures or normal ward vision and "improved" ward vision, and you can't really tell the difference.

Nothing else to say though. I'd certainly love to have a Janna following this guide on my team.


If I'm reviewing your guide, it'd be nice to return the favor.
Many thanks to The_Nameless_Bard for the great sig

I've never played janna so can't tell if the build is great (looks like stand support build), but the explanation of what to do is great. Keep up the good work! +1 worth


Just finished my first guide Lanewick! Good and look and ofcourse don't forget to leave comment!

Build-wise this guide is definitely how I would play Janna.

Aesthetics-wise I feel you could do some more formatting and add more info :P

Upvote cuz I prioritize viability over aesthetics :)


Thank you jhoijhoi, Keondre, Xaioli, and LaCorpse for the amazing sigs!

Well, I tried your guide out yesterday. Did ok at the whole supporting thing. But man I suck at hitting with tornados. She's just not my kinda support D:

I'm a hardcore Yorick support. XD

Hello, thank you for your reply, and yes I voted b4 I had sent out the message

The problem is those Janna I met, they don't defend me from enemy harass, they basically stay miles behind me (usually beside or behind the tower), and cannot support me in time when I'm in trouble, or if the enemy pair is dumb enough to give me a chance to jump in for a kill. The "good" thing is, they don't usually feed, because they're always at full health. Although occasionally I get killed, then they're doomed, cuz the enemy pair can dive and we all know how squishy Janna is.

I myself has been a pretty aggressive player, and I believe I should utilize Trist's early game burst dmg.

I have a few good Janna players on my friend list, and I hope I'll cooperate better with them as Trist & Graves.

Thank you :)
