the Storm's Fury

Patch 26.20 · Stats from the 26.18 Master+ sample (4,750 games).

Janna, the Storm's Fury, shields an ally with Eye Of The Storm and throws enemies away from her team with Monsoon before healing it. Her Master+ players hardly ever left Summon Aery, and Moonstone Renewer came first in her most-bought and best-winning paths.

Counter plan — how to beat Janna

  • Track the roam — it is strongest where the enemy jungler already is

  • Dodge the primary — its rotation is one skillshot; sidestep it and the rest is chip

  • Punish the cooldown — Janna is exposed while its rotation is down

  • Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one

  • Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 7/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average

Riot's tips for Janna

Playing Janna

  • Eye of the Storm can be used on allied turrets.
  • Quickly firing a Howling Gale without the charge up can be used to heavily disable the other team.
  • Timing Janna's ultimate can push enemies away from a wounded ally or even separate enemies.

Playing against Janna

  • Save an interrupt ability for when Janna uses her ultimate.
  • Listen for the charge up sound on Howling Gale in case Janna is trying to hit you with it from off screen or from brush.
  • Janna's at her strongest when buffing another ally. If you can harass her ally, it will weaken her ability to fight you.

Janna's story

Armed with the power of Runeterra's gales, Janna is a mysterious, elemental wind spirit who protects the dispossessed of Zaun. Some believe she was brought into existence by the pleas of Runeterra's sailors who prayed for fair winds as they navigated treacherous waters and braved rough tempests. Her favor and protection has since been called into the depths of Zaun, where Janna has become a beacon of hope to those in need. No one knows where or when she will appear, but more often than not, she's come to help.

Methodology

Data window
Preview sample — a one-time snapshot of 65,406 ranked games (Master+, EUW/KR/NA, patch 26.18), counted by GamGem while our Riot production key is under review. Figures will update daily once it is approved. Counted 26–27 Sept 2026; patches 26.18 (35,477) · 26.19 (18,580) · 26.17 (11,048) · 26.16 (293) · 26.15 (8); by server EUW 22,382 · KR 21,922 · NA 21,065 · EUNE 20 · TR 17. 642 games without a result — remakes ended by vote in their first minutes, and games recorded with no winner — were not counted.
Rank aggregation
Master, Grandmaster and Challenger, pooled — the three ladders the count read its players from. Splitting further leaves samples too small to separate a real effect from noise.
Role assignment
A champion is filed under every lane that holds at least a tenth of its counted games — the position the match itself reports, not the champion’s class. Its headline win rate is across all of them; each lane’s own win rate and games are counted too, and a lane’s tier list ranks by them.
Counters
The two champions in the same position on opposite teams, over that pairing’s own counted games — ranked on the edge pulled toward zero by its sample size, printed raw.
Minimum sample
None — no figure is hidden for being thin. Every rate prints its games, and the confidence band is its 95% margin: Very High within ±1.5 points, High ±2.5, Moderate ±3.1 (1,000 games), Low wider.
Why a build is not a cause
An item is counted when the match ENDS with it, so late items show long games and an item bought when already ahead shows games that were being won. Correlation is what a rate can show; it is not evidence that buying the item caused the win.
Where the numbers come from
Names, classes, abilities, items and runes are Riot Data Dragon. Win, pick and ban rates, builds, keystones, spells and matchups are counted by GamGem from Riot's ranked match records. An estimate, not a count: this panel is not in the preview sample, and is labelled so.
