You have a link to that game anywhere? I'd love to watch it.

Game 1: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/9507051

Game 2: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/9508719

Only two games because CLG had already beaten Hawkshot before (in order to become winners of the preliminary rounds), so you can probably guess the result of game 1.

edit: p.s. phreak sucks at commentating. That man needs serious practice. Don't think he caught any of the fbs.

Why didn't anyone tell me you could mute the enemy team?

[Kaden]

Because then you'd have to listen to the bots.

They're assholes.

Played some practice as Gragas.

And I bought Janna with sum IP because I never see her ever.

She's pretty fun. Voice+lines makes me want to stab things, though, and it's obvious you need to play some headgames with the Q if you want to hit consistently. Either that or be a ganking asshole constantly.

e: revision of that statement on Janna - to hit with her Q fully charged. I imagine it's much easier with an instant release.

[Kaden]

If you're trying to use her Q on champions for damage, charge it from a bush and just try to lead it as best as you can.

During the laning phase, use it for farming/pushing against minions and initiation against your lane opponents. If you hit the gank phase with her, your best bet is to usually queue it up from whatever bush you're going to come from in anticipation of the enemy running from you. Makes it really easy to then set-up your ult to throw them into your allies and slow them when they try to run back past you (don't break the ult until they run back to it). In team fights, you just want to knock up as many enemies as you can in one shot, or keep someone from running (though her W can do that just fine, too).

If you're laned solo, 2v1, or with another support or a tank or something, rank your Q as first. If you're laned with a solid DPS, rank your E to keep them alive and give a huge damage boost early game. Generally, one rank W is all you'll need for most of the game (which is sad because it's my favorite of her abilities).

Most commonly you'll see her built straight AP (RoA, a Ring, Soulstealer, etc.), though an aura/support build isn't that rare (Soul Shroud, Will of the Ancients, Aegis). Occasionally you'll even see AD/AS Janna, which is actually pretty fun to play. Grab a LW and an IE and lawl as people try to escape your awesomeness.

EDIT: Typed all of that without actually mentioning the thing that made me hit "reply" in the first place: the biggest reason to charge her Q, really, is to boost the movement speed. The extra damage is always nice, of course, but damage isn't what Janna's about.

If she keeps those numbers for release, she should be auto-pick for every game ever played. What the fuck.

[Waffuru]

She sounds awesome. Mash Q+W and then win.

I really like the model too.

[Kole T. Merr]

She sounds really sweet. I love that ult.

[Mr. Zhu]

Like we really needed another godforsaken healer. For sure she's gonna get a permanent spot on banlists....

No dude we need more tanks and DPS! boooooooring.

Also, not really healer... her base heal is kinda sad, she's support fo sure.

The fact that you also can't control the healer limits its usefulness. There are plenty of times where the person you don't want to heal is the one with the least health. Especially if said person has a GA or Zil ult or Kayle ult to keep them going.

Just looking at the numbers, I think her Q does a little too much damage on a 7 second CD. She'll be beastly in the lane.

I really like her E, too. Let's her serve that anti-initiation role that Janna's ult is often used for. Enemy comes at you, E to let the party back off, and then R in a nice little line if they're dumb enough to follow.
