AP Janna top (support your jungler) - Viable or...

[quote=DuffTime]Yeah, Chauster has used AP Janna to solo top before. She's almost impossible to gank and kills entire waves with one tornado with some AP and points in nado, and she can do it from soooooooooo far away. She's the, "You literally could not deny me farm if you wanted to" top lane. Chauster was mentioning he might even consider it as a pick when CLG knows they can't win the top lane any other way.[/quote]

[quote=Kurt_Ottman]Nice, does Chauster have a stream going? I really wanna see AP Janna top from pros :) Oh, and Slappiz, I will have fun with her, one way or the other ^^[/quote]

[quote=Mazuran]just because one of the l33t pr0s uses it, doesn't mean it'll work for you - Remember that Chauster has got a very good, very co-ordinated team working with him. AP Janna top will probably work in a premade 5x5, but in Solo Q? Prepare for everyone raging against you. On a side note, Irelia brings mobility with her Q, and her passive makes her very hard to slow/stun. Tanky AP or AD TF would be a better pick for solo top than AP Janna imo.[/quote]

[quote=Mowen]What do they use for bot when they do janna top? Just standard AD carry/support or? I'm worried team would be too squishy if they only have one tanky champ with little farm (jungler)[/quote]

Unless it's because Solo Q at that ELO = better team play. But I doubt that because you get the same trolls/eejits at every level of play.[/quote]

I'm worried team would be too squishy if they only have one tanky champ with little farm (jungler) [/quote] Indeed, and that's why I think in the new meta, we should see a tanky aggressive support bot, like [[Taric]] or [[Alistar]], built the same way, but more tanky with items like [[Frozen heart]] and [[Randuin's Omen]]. Why, you say? Because supports do so much for the team, that they want to stay alive for the whole teamfight, especially with auras. As we know, tanks are one of the most versatile and adjustable roles in League of Legends, and therefore, can be built as support. Now, if you have two supports instead of one, one that also can deal high damage and manage themselves, wouldn't that result in a great late-game potential, both because if you have a good tanky support bot, your AD carry will get fed, and your jungler will get fed with Janna top? That's what I think :)[/quote]

Janna is super good at keep away and you just run it as a standard double AP type team. :p[/quote]

[quote=Kurt_Ottman]^ Double AP type team..Yes, that's what it is ^^[/quote]

[quote=Mowen]I've tried a few games of this, it actually works pretty well. You can't be killed, but you also can't kill the person you're laning against unless your jungle helps. I haven't been beating my enemy in CS usually but not I'm far behind. The enemy can pretty much free farm since you can't kill them, so they will usually be above you in CS. In one game I played I got 2 towers down before 20ish, because if my enemy ever left they lane I would just PUUUUSH, and with her shield and Q she can kill waves/towers quite fast. I think it would be good to buy pink wards with janna or oracles to make sure they can't keep the river warded. This would make "feeding the jungle" much more viable. Pink wards may be more reasonable since Janna needs to build up AP fast to keep up with the minion's health. She needs to clear waves with 1 Q.[/quote]
