Janna vs Thresh Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Janna, the Storm’s Fury, meets Thresh, the Chain Warden, in the Support lane. Over 3,214 ranked games on patch 16.13.1, Janna closes out 48.0% of them. Sitting 2.0 points below the 50% line marks Thresh as a genuine problem pick for Janna.
Watch the cooldowns that swing it: Janna’s Howling Gale (Q) against Thresh’s Flay (E). Monsoon and The Box are the two buttons that end the exchange outright.
Both sides lean magic, meaning Thresh and Janna shop from the same defensive shelf. Janna carries 570 base health to Thresh’s 620, and 28 armour to 33. Thresh absorbs early autos better by 5 armour. Level 18 armour lands at 104 for Janna and 33 for Thresh. Base attack damage is 47 against 56, so Thresh wins the raw auto-attack exchange. Base movement favours Thresh — 325 versus 330.
Both champions are ranged (Janna at 550, Thresh at 450), so the lane is decided by cooldowns rather than reach.
Behind 48.0% are 3,214 games against Thresh, not a handful of anecdotes.
