Why would you complete the Claim over the Talisman though? Just sell the edge once you've got enough money to get Talisman.

I think it was 2 nights ago that Scarra talked a bit on stream about how he just didn't find something that droven him anymore at Dignitas, and that it was why he left them.


doesn't everyone go spellthief's on janna now?

They shouldn't. Unless you take almost no damage in lane coin out trades knife.

Cancerous.

No boots Janna is def solo queue legit

You get you're core items (talisman etc) faster and your move speed isn't ever lower than your ad (exception is MF) so your map control isn't ever impacted unless you're super ballsy about deep warding the enemy jungle with no support.

Isn't to say that boots don't have their place but so does no boots on Janna.

Shit, no one here believed me when I told them that w max Janna was legit either but Lemon played that shit in quarterfinals.

I rarely (if ever) see someone start ancient coin on Janna in competitive play. On Probuilds I have to go back over 60 games to find someone who didn't start spellthief.

Why would you ever start with coin? Spellthief provides you more combat stats and is nice for trading autoattacks, especially good for Janna, since she can shield and hit few AA's. Don't like coin personally.

You used to sell frostfang for Talisman back when Talismans raw stats were way way better (20% CDR vs. 0)

When they changed the base stats on the item it stopped making sense. FQC has better base stats now (and better gold generation late game), and while the active is worse in some situations, it's never much worse and doesn't really justify spending the extra gold to switch items.

Then you add in Spellthief/Frostfangs better laning power and it makes sense that basically nobody builds Talisman anymore.

I still build Talisman on Soraka though, because HP regen on new Soraka is super legit.

I take coin over edge any day in solo queue (on Janna) because of the sick sustain and way more reliable gold income. If your ADC sucks you can't walk up to auto and have to Q them, which pushes the lane (what you dont want with a bad ADC). With a great ADC you still do more than enough damage with 2 shield AAs.

Sure I could bully a little bit more with edge, but then again its yoloqueue and I have to look out for myself too. I'll gladly take the well rounded coin line over the very lopsided - although stronger harass oriented - edge line.
Do not regret. Always forward, never back.

I want to hear a legit argument of spellthief over talisman for Janna that does not involve "all the pros do it".

I have tried spellthief on Janna. I think it is pure garbage.

I thought pros go for spellthiefs because they tend to not always be in lane so the passive gold gen is a lot more valuable than the coins one as you need to stay in lane for it to work until you level it up.

Spellthief is better in laneswaps cause you can both push towers faster and you have better roams.

FQC sets up nado really well, makes it so Janna can be more than just disengage.

honestly I'm not sure it is. Pro games are a whole different beast than solo queue. Just because something is good in a pro game doesn't make it good in solo queue.

on another note, does anybody play ranked 5's a lot? Does it ever balance out in terms of playing people around your own skill level? My team is gold 4 and we still play master/challenger teams, d1 teams, d1-d5 teams more than half our games...
