Pro Commentary
Pros and Cons
Pros
High amount of crowd control (3 forms).
Good burst damage.
Can instantly clear waves.
Makes your team harder to kill with high damage-absorbing shields and crowd control.
Counters AoE team compositions.
Cons
Weak early in the laning phase.
Highly susceptible to assassins in the laning phase.
Damage falls off late game compared to most AP Carries who are still a damage threat.
Is not a nuker by nature, so you will lack more magic damage than preferred.
Ultimate is extremly powerful, but may lose your team fights.
janna is for poke and a great support for ur ad carry in late if u play janna mid then u play double support protecting ur ad carry and thats awesome with a 500~600 shiled every 7 sec with cdr boots + blue i always start kage's lucky pick and go for Philo and a few dorans then i go for DD Cape, in late u r just a greater support ur dmg is not as good and mostly used for tower siege and poke, shyrelias is a great item for u cdr helps alot and one of the strongest utility items ingame ...abyss cepter if your team is playing ap top skip it if not, same goes for WOTA RoA gives u a nice junk of HP and Mana if need, as long u live ur ad carry shoud live aswell so HP always helps, never use ur shield in TF for yourself only for the ad he will need it and rape the entry enemy team just focus on protectim him and thats where janna realy shines even if ur ad carry suck you can make him look great an dbasicly win TF even if no one is giving you the fame you shoud get ;-)
I opt for Kage's-> DFG often, but it really depends on what I need at the time. I do agree with you at some points but in the current meta 2 Shurelya's is common as is and while 3 is not bad at all, I think it might be slight overkill.
I like RoA but I think you really need the AP as soon as you can in order to maximize your efficency, you do falter late game so you want to maximize your utility early to snowball your team into a victory.

Posted 2/5/2013 10:30:54 AMWill of the Ancients? Only 2 / 4 abilities deal damage and all of her abilities scales good with AP. Not to mention, her ultimate is a massive heal.

Posted 8/22/2012 10:33:45 PMIt's mainly for the team aura, potential double WotA. It's not a must-buy every game, but it works and there's nothing wrong IMO with a team aura.
