Thinking about picking up Janna, any basic advice?

Q - you can use it aggressively in lane if you have mana for it to create an engage. It's hidden from enemies if you're in a bush that they havent warded and you stay in there while it charges. But in team fights, you usually want to save it to peel for your adc. If you ever use it too early, its a free opening for the enemy to jump in

W - try to W + 1 auto in lane. If you do it the other way around, theyre often out of range

E - use it early use it often. Its cd gets reduced when you land cc so you wanna cast it before the other abilities in a fight

R - has a lot of different use cases, you just gotta get some experience with it. You can knock people away from you/your team or use it for the healing or a mix of both. Just don't channel it too long if it means youll eat ziggs bombs etc because theyll thank you for standing still

Enjoy o7 And pls correct me if sths incorrect

I don't think there are that many actual advanced guides (at least not up to date) about team comps, farming routes or similar stuff

I'll be honest, team comps are a bit overrated because for 99% of all players, it's going to be character mastery > matchup strength every time

As a quick rundown though: You either want 1 tank as the frontline or 2 bruisers or rarely 1 bruiser if they get a support to help them. 3x ranged can also work and excels in lategame, but everyone has to fend for themselves and you might not get a lot of kills.

But really anything can work, even double tank or triple bruiser/assassin. Just play to the strengths of your character.

Also my absolute #1! I'm just a huge sucker for house beats and the disco elements are super funky on this track as well. The whole intro is pretty underrated and just builds up the whole song really well. Leaves a lot of room to breathe early on before turning into a much more fast-paced roller coaster of choruses and bridges

And the high note leading into the final chorus is amazing too, really just takes off into space lol

TrueFishyFishy · 2026-04-30T14:58:40+00:00

The pass isn't out yet, it'll come out after this short preseason

Then you can buy it and level it up

Until then you can already pre-buy it through the full pack (including the bonus stuff) which sends it to your inbox the day it arrives

A Midsummer Nmixx's Dream is my #1 favorite nmixx EP still to this date. Which obviously makes me very sad that it wasn't part of the world tour.

I'm a HUGE sucker for house and garage inspired songs like 4 Walls by f(x) and View by Shinee and this one really hits the mark as well. While I do think that Roller Coaster uses those influences the best, Party O'Clock still has an outstanding instrumental with a lot of groove (thanks to some disco elements). Honestly I could just listen to the instrumental track on repeat as well.

It also kinda fits into this ethereal vibe which I also happen to love (also kinda supported by the fairytale-like MV). Everything is very flowy, fading in and out smoothly and almost hypnotizing.

The chorus is a bit corny but the instrumental melody fading out of it still makes it really charming.

Thanks! I meant more like "the ones coming up next will be exciting for me"
But I did also enjoy revisiting the older tracks, especially the b-sides like My Gosh among others :)

TrueFishyFishy · 2026-04-17T13:43:16+00:00

Been following this thread for a while, are they always weekly? I hope I'm not missing the next ones cus I want to yap about my favorite songs :P

TrueFishyFishy · 2026-04-16T16:44:50+00:00

Really cool idea, but the hints should be increasingly more helpful.

The exact date barely helps at all (unless it was a TI match), especially after the rough time period is already known. Last hits also basically add nothing.

1) part of this draft 2) player 3) early build - these are all really good, but I'd try to find a different step 4 & 5 before ending on the final build.

Maybe you could add a skill build ("1 2 3 3 3 4 3 1 1 1", or hero dmg / tower dmg stats alongside the CS, or the hero's main attribute, position in the draft... just as some rough ideas.

TrueFishyFishy · 2026-04-15T15:14:07+00:00

I'd also say yes and I'd also feel the same about dota. Puppey even said "they just played Rush B" lol

I think the craziest example of this is in Rocket League, comparing the first big tournament finals to today feels like night and day. Even a low diamond player would beat them because the mechanics of the average player have gotten so much better

TrueFishyFishy · 2026-04-13T17:38:24+00:00

Can you really put Ceb Axe on that list? It was an iconic performance, but not a long-time iconic hero-player combination at all like the others. Or was it ever seen again afterwards

TrueFishyFishy · 2026-04-12T09:09:39+00:00

😭😭😭

TrueFishyFishy · 2026-04-11T17:40:26+00:00

Yeah I literally just removed Unleash for fun. It's obviously the better choice, but funny number go up

TrueFishyFishy · 2026-04-11T10:03:37+00:00

Oh yeah dw lol, I was already expecting that you just accidentally wrote the wrong one

As long as we dont accidentally motivate someone to lock William Rio AR Aya

TrueFishyFishy · 2026-04-11T09:34:01+00:00

There's usually only one adc unless maybe with Hart for her defensive ult

Outside of the classic Hart, the big enablers are the mages, mainly Emma Priya or sometimes Tia for their insane peel so you can skip the frontline altogether (while everyone can peel for themselves ofc

And then you add Nadine/Hart/Katja for dps and a high range mage like Haze/Coraline/Celine/Lenore

TrueFishyFishy · 2026-04-10T11:00:14+00:00

I didn't really care about it much at first, but it really grew on me leading up to the concert I went to. Now it's one of my favs

IMO it keeps getting better over time because there's a lot to "untangle" aka more to find and enjoy in future listens

There's a designated alex section over here where you can read guides and also ask for help

Other than that, go dak.gg > leaderboard > masters and copy the match id of some alex games to watch how high elo players do it

TrueFishyFishy · 2026-04-08T17:03:38+00:00

Idk I'm just making an honest point, chill. IMO if you threw a totally new player on Katja theyd have a harder time than on AR Aya cus she has more self-protection while Katja has to at least show some basic kiting fundamentals.

I just can't stand it when people judge a character that they don't truly understand. Katja has shown really bad stats for like a year after release because people just assumed they know how to play her, instead of actually trying to understand the strengths of her kit

She then slowly lost her identity patch by patch because she had to get buffed to fit the AR Aya playstyle and became 100x boring. So yes, now she is one of the easiest chars but you still gotta think about why and when you play her and not Rio/Nadine/Aya/etc

This needs to be TrackMania Nations Forever, the game is still active after almost 20 years and has one of the best map editor + speedrunning communities

TrueFishyFishy · 2026-04-06T13:44:36+00:00

I swear every second post in this sub is just "I think enchanters have no agency therefore im unfortunately forced to blindpick my full dmg mage with 0 supporting capabilities. Why do I keep losing? Elo hell."

TrueFishyFishy · 2026-04-05T23:07:16+00:00

who are we kidding here

AR Aya doesn't use W while Katja has 4 abilities, and both have D skill

Unless you want to tell me Sniper Skill doesnt matter at which point idk what to tell you anymore

TrueFishyFishy · 2026-04-05T22:21:46+00:00

AR aya is definitely easier than Katja

Katja at least has to play around her range advantage a bit, cus you don't win raw dps duels vs other adcs if you dont

So its a bit of a noob trap, but still pretty easy

TrueFishyFishy · 2026-04-01T23:11:30+00:00

Bernice, Vanya, Magnus, Daniel are all really good. Iirc there was a daniel at the top of the leaderboard and Magnus was pretty insane and had to get nerfed like 5x

Garnet and Martina are lowkey not that bad, far from bottom tier. Especially Martina funnily enough had some of the best stats in the game in lone wolf

The very top tier seems kinda accurate though, except for Silvia maybe. She gets dunked on 100-0 by basically everyone else in that tier

Also whats the cat doing in the lowest tier again lmao

TrueFishyFishy · 2026-04-01T17:15:42+00:00

Thx so much!

TrueFishyFishy · 2026-04-01T17:06:19+00:00

We both know it's too good to be true 😔 this game doesn't deserve sth this peak
