How is it over used? That's how Koreans play the game.

because we're not playing WoW?
where it's used most and its not even remotely similar in league?

i guess unless its talking about describing moving lanes, which is okay i guess. have seen several people post rotations to describe spell use here though and it erks me

what's the point of going straight to the second buffcamp though if you won't hit lvl 3 with it.

What I've seen is, for example if you start blue buff, and you contest at their red buff immediately after your buff. So the enemy jungler who did the small camp in between is worse off than you because they did small camp; but still at level 2 with you.

It's pretty fucking cheezy, but you'd be surprised how well it works.

Also, another thing you can do is grab level 2 off both buffs, gank or pressure a lane, use lane xp to get to 3.


I like to do one buff, walk through mid lane and "gank" and then do second buff, usually get level 3 from xp leeched.

When we talk about rotations, it's generally referring to changing lanes, not running through spells.

I feel in S2/3 Janna countered Leona really hard in lane. This could be due to Janna being OP (especially in S3), I don't know, but nowadays as Janna you do like 20 damage per auto against a Leona who regens like 4 health per second so I do feel it's better to just afk in brush.


Janna has great teamfighting, but a shitty lane which can be abused.
Janna's q shuts down any hope leona ever has of engaging ever at all ever. (and her ult can let you just walk away if leona ever manages to get near somehow)
Leona can't do anything in lane so it's just a farm lane.
something something

I feel that's unrealistic expectation for the Janna player to be able to do this every time.

Anything outside of topnotch competitive play, it's pretty silly to expect anyone to be able to do that.

You use to start seeing it in low plat, though YMMV. Not consistently, but that improves as you go up.

It's a mechanical skill that isn't that hard to do with Leona's telegraphing. If you see a W or her E animation, double tap Q.


Biggest issue for Janna is if Leona lands her ulti for initiate on Janna.

I meant consistently, because even if Janna can do it 75% of the time, those 25% of the times is whats going to lose them the game.

I think Janna QQ vs Leona is easier than Thresh Flay in terms of timing, and Flay vs Zenith Blade isnt really hard.

What gets really scary is when Leona learns to use Ctrl+3 to bait everyone into using their interrupts.

Rotation is a good term for describing the movement from one lane to another. Cycle, revolve and a few other words don't really fit the action as smoothly. Different terms mean different things for different games.

I too come from a WoW background, but it doesn't annoy me all that much. LoL doesn't really have rotations as much as combo's. While you're trying to be efficient, you aren't trying to maximize DPCT or DPS as much as stuff like CC uptime or burst. It's not like playing WoW where you have to follow the stack debuffx2>haunt>corruption>CoA>UA>(drainsoul if under 20%)>shadowbolt without clipping dots or god forbid letting NMIC corruption drop.

The only champs I can really think of that has (or had) standard rotations are Anivia and Leblanc.

At that point, their spell rotation is really just a "combo" and I think that's how a lot of people refer to it as.
