Pyke is the most famous counter to Janna, making her first levels really hard if he pressures correctly.
He's a better laner, and a better roamer than you, but you outscale him by far.
Senna
My personnal worst nightmare, shes outrades you in lane, and scales also really good. You just can't win against Senna, try to find roam timings.
Sona
Similar case as Senna, laning is slightly better but Sona outscales you.
Try to roam a lot.
Blitzcrank
Can be extremely punitive especially in lower elos. You have to be really careful with your wave management.
Vel'Koz
Disgusting mage that will outrange and poke you to death. Play around your minions for them to tank his Qs.
Try to full-Q him from bushes.
Xerath
His literally Vel'koz but his Qs are even harder to dodge. He can't spam them as much tho.
Soraka
Don't get hit by her Qs in lane and it will be fine. You will get outscaled so try to roam. She's easily countered by anti-heal so make sure your allies are getting some.
Karma
First levels might be hard, and you will most likely lose the push. It starts to turn in your favor when reaching 6, as you get your ult and she doesn't get anything. From there she will fall behind and you outscale.
Nautilus
Technically this matchup is Nautilus-favored but it just depends on how good your ADC is. You can use your Q for when he hooks you to cancel him, but it's not as reliable as cancelling a Leona, because he will attracts you towards him.
Lulu
Lulu is stronger than you in lane with her short trades (AA + Q deals a lot of damage) but you will outscale her.
Nami
Same as Lulu. Usually Nami is paired with Lucian, the matchup is fine as long your hold your Q for when Lucian uses his dash.
Leona
You can Q her E which makes it a really easy matchup in lane. But be careful once she get her ult.
Rakan
Similar case as Leona, just be careful with his Flash + W.
Rell
Rell can't do anything as long as you hold your Q for her W. Watch out for any Flash + W from her tho, it can be surprising.
Yuumi
It's unlikely that you will kill someone in lane when there's a Yuumi, but you can just a roam a lot and it's gg.
Braum
Braum is designed to face heavy engage, any enchanter directly counters him.
Draven
Draven loves the AD given by your E, and chasing people down the lane which you can help with your Q and your W slow.
Ezreal
Ezreal is great if playing a more weakside botlane, you can let him farm safely and just roam to help mid/top.
Jinx
Janna loves any hypercarry to peel.
Aphelios
Janna loves any hypercarry to peel.
Vayne
Janna loves any hypercarry to peel.
Sivir
Sivir will always have the prio in lane and is strong against heavy engage, just like Janna.
Lucian
Lucian is similar as Draven but not as good. You can play aggressively early.
Ashe
Ashe isn't a hypercarry but is really strong in the lane, you both will have a lot of slows.
Miss Fortune
You can't give a lot of setup to MF but she's doing fine in lane, and she can't get dived when her ult is up, giving you roam freedom.
Varus
Not a lot of synergy there except that you both want to abuse your range advantage.
Kai'Sa
Kai'sa really wants to play with more agressive early supports with many CCs for her passive. Janna's laning is not good enough unless you are in a really favorable matchup.
Samira
Same as Kai'sa.
Kalista
Same as Kai'sa.
