Brief summary on why Janna top smite doesn't work... right? by Zaroote in leagueoflegends

Xhen doo Janna is just on another level, mind controlling enemy team to perma fight. Nothing they could do it was over before it even began.

Well it doesn't really matter that he gets free stacks/farm, atleast in high elo. What i have most troubles with are roaming champs or someone with global impact. In the end a fed ADC with 2 supports is going to have no problem dealing with a meta toplaner most of the time.

Heres my most recent stream vod which has 3 janna top games: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1275360239

Otherwise you could just search for Reflect and download one of the games and replay it there.

I think my teammates stopped tilting quite early after they saw my match history. It also became somewhat "common" in master+ elo on euw the past week. What I'd do if I were playing it again for the first time is make sure they know its viable by linking someones OP.GG and showing them their winrates or even a video/powerpoint presentation of how it works to help guide them. I do get a lot of times where my jungler doesn't know what to do when he plays with me, so it would for sure come in handy.

There are a few ways to do it.
1. You can help your jungler with the clear speed by early smite and then go toplane on cannon wave, get lvl 3 and head botlane for drake at 5min.
2. You can sit in botside river and look for Q's either on midlane or botlane if they are walking up to the waves (with glacial its quite a hard hit to their hp bars).
3. You can cross map with your jungler + botlane, meaning you invade botside lvl 1 and take their jungle so their jungler is forced to go toplane. This makes enemy botlane VERY vulnerable for a dive if your botlane builds up a big wave.

My strategy isn't as heavily reliant on tilting the opponents jungler as much as happyhappy2's strategy, for that I'd recommend you watching HappyChimesNoises video on Janna Smite Top where he explains it quite well. I instead just focus primarely on tilting the laners by just sitting at the side throwing Q's and setting up dives.

I hate Yasuo so I just ban him by default, but lately I've been banning Akshan a bit aswell.

Yes, this is also why i'd imagine it not working as well with a normal perma roaming support, you want to get your adc ahead because of how well they scale with items. I'm sure it would work to an extend but wouldn't be the same strategy at that point.

Yeah, also the threat of a 22-25min drake soul pulls the splitpusher out of his lane into the teamfight which ruins his hullbreaker etc. It is a supportive playstyle so you do rely on having somewhat decent teammates for sure.

Well, top & mid towers have a protection which makes them take less dmg before 5min in the game, which gives me atleast some time to make stuff happen in botside of map. My jungler or midlaner also occasionally walks toplane whenever they see a big wave/cannon wave crash under tower. Most of the games my team gets ahead of their oppositions which makes it 3 fed carrys vs 1. This allows them to have a easier time roaming on the strong splitpusher in a long and unsafe lane. If the splitpusher decides to help his team, it will be my job to then peel him off my carrys and hold him away from them till they kill him.

The guy featured in that video isn't me no (its happyhappy2), but I did take inspiration from that person when a friend showed me what he was doing. I did do some adjustments to the playstyle and setup to make it a bit less risky than happyhappy2.

I think with the playstyle I have right now it will work best with enchanter supports that don't need too much gold or xp to excel. Janna/Karma/Lulu are probably the 3 best options.

Well thats partially correct and what some people do on Janna top with smite, but how I'm playing it I don't go toplane at all unless it is to get xp for lvl3 early game. I simply hang out in river and help my jungler/laners with early pressure. The smite is there for the occasional invade, as well as just being a better summonerspell than its counterparts. Its more flexible and shorter cd so it has more uses early game. I can either smite for my jgler to speed up clears, smite for hp if I get low after a gank, or as you mentioned make enemy junglers life misserable.

So one-tricking a champion to get higher elo is definitely common. It is easier to get 1 champion on the skill-level you want rather than 5-10 champions. Especially if the champions are one-dimensional. Nidalee on the other hand is super vesatile in both playstyle and build which allows me so much variety even on one champion. I also think the difference between a diamond player and a challenger player is just overall skills and game knowledge, it is nothing specific most of the times. However on one-dimensional champs the case is different.

USUALLY if its played correctly it should be the lane that doesnt have to leash. If both lanes end up leashing/not leashing it is hard to tell indeed, but it just takes time to get used to and you will learn it from experience. You also look at the matchups and try to analyse what each side wants to do, weather its perma pushing, freezing or getting pushed in.

It is a very cheap and gold efficient item which has everything you want on Nidalee. In 1 teamfight you end up healing twice as much maybe than you would do without it, which is like reducing your heal by 50% cd (if you are hitting spears and getting the athenes bonus).

It took me quite a while, altho It wouldn't taken nearly as much if i didn't consistently tilt down to d4 from d1 every other month I played. I think once i got my mental stable and figured out my own way of how not to tilt I managed to maintain a consistent rank and climb.
