I like buying dark seal as Janna a lot! When you back with 350 gold early it gives you a lot of laning power. Building it into Mejais was a mistake tho

When you back with 350g with two deaths in eight minutes, you should probably buy boots instead

It's refreshing

I'm not hating on it, I've been drinking it all morning to deal with the positive life choices that lead to a Thursday morning workday hangover. That was purely speaking a literal response to what the most likely color of my vomit would be after seeing kingcobweb's item build, and his follow up justification is giving me heartburn and I can feel it rising up again.

Two pink wards was bc I had it down in really effective locations for 10-20 minutes at a time (I think??)

Zzrot was super effective this game and might have won it for us. I build it on Janna often in games where people ignore pushing to fight often

Edit: that being said I've never died that much as Janna EVER and I belong in bronze 69 for that game but so does everyone else

Instead of belonging in bronze 69 i just think you shouldn't be allowed to ever spam mastery emote on Janna again

edit: For the record I am only seven minutes in to this but my favorite moment so far was casting Janna W on a minion instead of Morgana, then getting hit by dark binding and hitting that mastery emote.

Man I dunno but it's infuriating. I'm at a literal 14% win rate right now and while I definitely made mistakes and probably caused at least a couple of those losses, the majority of them were either straight 4v5s or we had someone (almost always botlane) feed 12+ kills to the other botlane and the jungler before the 25 min mark. I can usually win lane reasonably, like 3/1 or 4/1 or something, but it doesn't matter when the 14/1/0 Platinum Jinx who was laning against two silver Vs comes screaming across the map and racks up a pentakill.

I understand why you flash mastery, but KCW loves it more than anyone I know and it would be a far more cruel punishment then setting his elo to 0 would.

I've honestly never done that. I can see how it would lead to errors though since you have to stretch your left hand diagonally and skip over all of your actually useful keys to execute the maneuver.

Just rebind it. My laugh is bound to middle mouse button and mastery is bound to one of my thumb buttons.

I've noticed a lot of out of control bot lanes at like the 12 - 15 minute point in this meta. I wonder if it has to do with the way bot lane is played right now or if it's just random chance.

e: also laugh belongs on ~ key mastery emote is on Z. They have to be easily accessible at all times.

I think it's a combination of the natural snowball nature of the lane, (as in a won fight bot gets the adc 600 gold and a farm/XP advantage) and better build paths. When everyone wanted IE, and bf sword cost 1550, sometimes a single kill bot would mean only a pickaxe. Now that same gold can be a warhammer/dirk + a long sword which is a huge power advantage

E: also gaming mice have two buttons on the side for joke/taunt. Laugh is meant for space bar

Space bar is to center your view on your champion. I literally use it all the time, I would be lost without it.
