Janna’s Eye of the Storm Ability Could Receive a Game-Changing Update
Janna, a popular enchanter support in League of Legends, is known for her healing and shielding abilities. However, players on the game’s official subreddit have come up with an idea that could make her even more versatile and impactful in matches.
In a discussion on the League subreddit, players proposed changing Janna’s Eye of the Storm (E) ability to grant a bonus to Adaptive Force instead of Attack Damage (AD). This change would make the ability more useful for characters who rely on Ability Power (AP), expanding Janna’s potential as a partner for a wider range of bottom lane champions.
Since Janna has seen few updates since her release in 2009, some players believe that this change would bring her up to speed with other support options in the game and enhance her relevance beyond the laning phase.
Potential Benefits of the Update
If this change were implemented, Janna could potentially become one of the strongest enchanter supports in League of Legends. The versatility added to her kit would make her a valuable asset in team compositions. Additionally, these direct changes to her abilities could reduce her reliance on specific items like Ardent Censer and Staff of Flowing Water to enhance her allies’ power.
According to U.GG, a League of Legends stats site, Janna currently holds a 2.3 percent pick rate at support across all solo queue ranks, ranking her 27th out of 47 possible support choices. With these updates, her pick rate could increase significantly.
Player Reactions and Considerations
Players in the Reddit thread expressed enthusiasm about the proposed change, highlighting the potential benefits for mages who would greatly benefit from the adaptive force bonus. However, they also emphasized the importance of preventing Janna from gaining AP herself to maintain balance.
Future Update Plans and Patch 13.20
At present, there are no plans to buff or nerf Janna in the upcoming League of Legends patch, Patch 13.20. However, players are hopeful that Riot Games will consider implementing this potential update in the future to enhance Janna’s gameplay and impact within the support role.
