How to Beat Blitzcrank as Janna (Support)

The Janna versus Blitzcrank matchup as support is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

The magic damage that Janna deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Blitzcrank has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

An important advantage of Janna is superior vision control (ranked 2nd among supports) (versus 29th for Blitzcrank), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.5 versus 3.3) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Janna Support versus Blitzcrank Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Janna player to maintain constant pressure on Blitzcrank, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Janna tips:

  • 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 Blitzcrank

  • Blitzcrank's passive Mana Barrier grants him a shield when he is low on health.
  • Staying behind creeps can prevent you from being Rocket Grabbed. Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab only pulls the first enemy target it encounters.
