Rakan vs Janna Counter Pick

979 games on patch 16.13.1 make a solid base, and they put Rakan at 45.3% against Janna. Engage support against disengage support is a clean archetype clash, and the disengage side takes this one.

Monsoon is the centrepiece: it throws enemies back and then heals nearby allies while it runs, undoing the moment that Grand Entrance and The Quickness were spent to create. Howling Gale grows the longer it is charged and can be released early, Zephyr passively raises her move speed and lets her walk through units, and Eye Of The Storm shields an ally while granting attack damage. None of it requires her to be near the fight, which is the core problem for a champion whose 300 attack range demands that he is.

Janna is the frailest possible target once reached: 570 health at level one, 2100 at 18, 104.5 armor and a base move speed of 325, the lowest figure on either side of this pairing. That is where Rakan’s answer lives, through Battle Dance onto an ally, a free re-cast, and a charm on arrival. Their damage types match, magic on both sides, so armor buys nothing in this exchange. She is rated 7 for difficulty to his 5. Her tools are listed on the Janna page.
