Janna vs Fiddlesticks Counter Pick

Fiddlesticks brings the one thing a shield-and-displacement support cannot pre-empt: a channelled ultimate arriving from an unseen position. Crowstorm deals damage per second to every unit in the area, and against Janna, who opens on 570 health and climbs only to 2,100 by level 18, the channel rarely needs to finish. A 47.4% result across 135 games on patch 16.13.1 lands her firmly on the losing side, though the sample is modest and worth reading as such.

Reap is the specific counter to her plan, slowing everyone in the slash and silencing those caught in its centre, and a silenced Janna casts neither Monsoon to scatter the fight nor Eye Of The Storm to shield whoever is being drained. Bountiful Harvest then drains health from nearby enemies and closes with bonus execute damage, rewarding exactly the crowded formation Janna’s play pattern encourages. Durability favours Fiddlesticks as well: 650 starting health, 34 armor, 2,452 health and 113.9 armor at level 18. What Janna keeps is near range parity at 550 against 480, plus Howling Gale, which grows in size the longer it is held and can be released into the approach path before the channel begins. Move speed reads 335 against 325, so walking clear of the area is not something she can rely on without Zephyr already active. Both champions are demanding, rated 9 and 7 respectively.
