What about Leviathan?

why maxing Q over W? Isn't good maxing W for harrasing by spamming it?

TY for the extremly detailed guide I mean Janna is very good working with an AD carry cause of her E witch is like buying a B.F. sword!! she is a very very v v v v great support even if she cant heal the ally so she cant be durablle in lane!very good support!!and very good guide!!

I think some useful things that should be put in the skill descriptions is that you can use whirlwind to help hold/push back a lane.

I also feel that there should be a more in-depth explanation and use of her ultimate, Monsoon. Things that could be explained is like how to use it defensively/offensively as well as use it to reset a fight. Note that it will interrupt and enemies that are channeling and can also knock people over walls which can be very good or bad. The thing I see most to be common use is getting in middle of a team fight and completely re-positioning their possibly knocking one or two enemies into your team and keeping others out allowing for easy kills, etc.

Other than that I think the guide was great and in-depth.

Really love the guide Xspecial, as someone who plays a support role alot, it is extremely helpful, Would it be possible to see more support guides in the future ^_^ If so I look forward to reading it many times ^_^

I'm curious what you think of cooldown reduction runes on Janna and other supports. I usually run pretty much the same thing as the second runes/masteries settup in this guide but with the flat cdr glyphs instead of magic resist. I feel like Janna's usefulness in fights is heavily dependent on her cdr since that means more time with shield steroid on carry, more gales, and more slow. Also, this gives me the extra cdr to justify getting dodge boots if the enemy team has a couple auto attackers, so I can escape really well with the dodge = move speed mastery.

Following up on the defensive AD champs, would Kog'Maw fit under that heading cuz me and my bro want to start duo queuing and I want to play AD plus Support as Janna Kog. Is this a good lane?

How would you say a support Janna stacks up with support Soraka? I'm fairly new to the support scene, but find that the support play style is more suited to my play style.

Why do you max q before w, i mean its not for the dmg i guess, but w gives you a stronger cc, lower cooldown, even a bit more dmg and a better buff for yourself, your q only gives you a bit more dmg nothing more

Defensive early game champions, such as Ashe, Tristana and Caitlyn are the best for Janna. When a team picks Janna, you aren't really looking for lane dominance, but rather for stronger teamfight prowess, especially against strong AoE comps.


Doran's Rings give a LOT of mana regen with the addition of other bonus stats, so I suggest picking up one or two of those are soon as you can.
