Threats & Synergies
Dr. Mundo
This goes for anyone who's super tanky or has an overwhelming amount of sustain, but you'll have a harder time winning lane against someone like Mundo. At the very least you should be able to just break even depending on how good you are at kiting.
Yasuo
This one is pretty obvious. Even though you're going top or mid with this build he's still a strong match because of your Q and R CC, so later on in teamfights you'll be able to abuse that synergy more.

Champion Build Guide
-Great Kiting: Along with her high movement speed, her Q and W have CC that will be able to stop incoming attackers and cancel dashes like Irelia and Talon Q.
-Good into Melee Matchups: Her poke and kiting potential make melee matchups easier and even against champions like Irelia, Talon, and Akali you can cancel their dashes with Q and R so there's always a chance to make a play.
-Cost Efficient Build: This build is extremely cost efficient in the mid game, as the only items above 3000 gold are Immortal Shieldbow and Navori Quickblades.
-No AP(with one exception): Considering we're going an AD on-hit build, you make little to no use of the scalings in your kit. Meaning, your shields and healing on R won't be as effective as normal Janna.
-
Tailwind increases Janna's movement speed by 8%. Her basic attacks and W also deal bonus magic damage scaling with 25-35% of your current movement speed. The scaling is increased by level from 1-10 -
Janna builds up a tornado at her location, which can be activated any time before 3 seconds, otherwise after 3 seconds it will automatically activate. The longer it charges, the longer the range gets. It can also interrupt dashes such as Irelia Q, Akali R, and Talon Q. -
Whenever Zephyr is off cooldown you become ghosted and gain bonus movement speed. Janna targets an enemy, dealing damage and slowing them for 2 seconds. The damage on this ability not only scales with AP, but also with the same movement speed scaling on your passive. -
Janna shields an ally or herself, absorbing damage and increasing their AD for 5 seconds or until the shield is broken. Each CC hit from a slow or knockup lowers its cooldown by 20%. -
Janna knocks back enemies within 875 units, and channels a heal which restores HP to all allies inside the circle for up to 3 seconds. This Ability can be cancelled at any time.
-
Lethal Tempo is good with this build because a lot of your poke is going to be auto attacks and weaving autos between CC. Lethal Tempo pushes you past the attack speed limit and makes it easier to run people down. The bonus range also helps for kiting and keeping your distance from would be assassins. -
Presence Of Mind helps you retain mana early game, and makes hitting your abilities more rewarding. It'll be your main mana source until you get your Essence Reaver. -
Legend: Alacrity gives some nice bonus attack speed so you can hit as fast as possible. -
Cut down will be an incredible option since Janna has some of the lowest max hp in the game, and will be squishier than a vast majority of champions, ESPECIALLY solo laners. You'll have Cut Down active throughout most of the game. -
Celerity is perfect for Janna as its entire purpose is to increase your movement speed, and whatever movement speed effects you have, which is a lot for Janna. -
Waterwalking will be a more situational rune, but paired with Janna's kit it works perfectly as you're already gaining adaptive power, but then that added movement speed is pouring into her passive, giving even more power on your auto attacks.
Immortal Shieldbow is the best crit mythic to go because you being naturally weak means you need a lot of survivability to keep up in lane with normals champions like Fiora or Talon. Most of your power early is going to be farming and staying on par with the enemies gold to eventually get enough items to sneak a kill or two before laning phas ends, and Shieldbow is the best start you can get. Noonquiver is going to keep CSing easy and the lifesteal from vamp scepter will allow to play more loosely and abuse the enemy laner more.
Boots of Swiftness are the perfect boots to get for her because her Passive Bonus Magic Damage on auto attacks scales with move speed, and mobility boots are only going to be at full potential outside of combat. With swifties you're also hard to hit and it's easier to dodge skillshots that take longer to hit like Swain W for example.
Essence Reaver is going to be your main mana retention after Presence Of Mind and is a sheen item that you can easily abuse in trades. You get more crit and ability haste which will stack up later in the build. This item gives you everything you want for damage purposes and is great for early poke.
Phantom Dancer gives you crit, AD, and Attack speed which is what we want, BUT the most important part is the movement speed and the movement speed boost when you attack an enemy. Having the Ghosted effect makes it easier to chase someone down if you're in the mid game, and this item along with the rest of the build is mostly gold efficient.
Runaan's Hurricane is going to work well for teamfights if you can get people grouped up. It's a very good item for attack speed, adds crit, and gives you even more move speed along with swifties and phantom dancer. All these add up to give you more bonus damage per auto attacks. The bolts on Runaan's also apply on-hit affects and will crit so it fits into the build better.
Navori Quickblades is a bit expensive but the low cost items beforehand make up for it. It's yet another crit item, gives lots of AD, and 30 ability haste helps keep you equipped with enough CC to stop a bullet train. The passive is the best part because you'll have 100% crit chance and with the attack speed and lethal tempo you'll be hitting insanely fast allowing for you to keep people away with Q and W more often.
Wit's End is going to be really good for AP heavy teams and it's just an all around good item right now. Bloodthirster will be for if you feel that you need more healing and lifesteal than you already have. The bonus shield at max hp will also help for initial fights. Nashor's Tooth will be good if you have a heavy AD comp and feel like you need the little added AP to keep the enemies on their toes.
