So given the poor record in IEM, is Janna Vayne actually a bad lane?

Basically this is the exact method that I run (I have MR per level blues, not flats though which maybe different). I'm pretty sure this is pretty standard, especially soloque build.

Xpecial runs it a little bit different, I can't remember what it is, he doesn't run what his guide says though. Nyph runs the squishy Janna going 0/9/21 and run Gold quints/Gold Yellows/Armor Reds/AP blues...which I'm not too sure about, especially the gold yellows, but I never did the math, however..I'd assume 21 in utility + gold quints is already more than enough gold ticks.

I'm also torn on masteries for Janna. I've tried 21 defense, which is nice but you're actually pretty hard to catch and the cooldown mastery in the defense tree doesn't really go big until later. Also tried 0/9/21, but I think if you're going utility you'd might as well go 9/0/21 for more cooldowns. Janna loves them cooldowns.

With the gold masteries I open fairy charm, 1 health pot, 2 green wards and 1 pink ward. Control ALL THE BUSHES!

Get early philo, and maybe another gp5 item if you're feeling lazy and/or your lane got an early double kill or something. Otherwise I usually grab a random dorans ring, or rush to kindle. I also like to get oracles nice and early on Janna because unless you do something dumb you're really hard to actually catch/kill. Aegis is fun, starks is fun, or I also like Morellos. Max out your CDR, get plenty of mana, and Janna's shield scales really well with AP so I never feel like it's wasted. Once you have like shurelia and some other cdr, just be a ward machine. Ward everywhere!

if you're top side, there are two ways to get ganked, through tribrush/river or through lane brush, if you're bot side, there are three, tribrush, river, or lane. Occasionally you may get dove from your blue brush if you're top but that's only when someones fucked up hard. Lane ganks can be predicted more easily if you pay attention to enemy jungler path. So there's pretty much no point at having 3 wards in your inventory at any time until after laning phase is over. You're welcome to buy as many wards as you feel like after your first gp10, but prior to that I would conserve as much as possible unless your AD is absolutely retarded and have to see a gank before he believes it.

Please don't be that support that says "I'll buy wards after I finish my gp5." Buy wards from the start of the game, and keep your lane and dragon warded (at a MINIMUM).

ult for a specific purpose, and let your team know that's what you're gonna do. the best uses of janna ult are disengaging, pushing fags like Kennen out of your team when they R, or trapping one person who is out of position with flash+R. as a positional tool it's really really strong, so grow a backbone and learn how to use it :D

I have the +starting gold masteries so I like to start Regrowth + 1 ward early game. It allows me to be super aggressive since I have the regrowth pendant. I'll usually put the 1st ward down around the 3 minute mark or so. Sometimes later, depending on the jungler, how pushed the lane is, etc etc.

Starting regrowth is great because it means I only need another 365 gold to get my Philo stone, which 365 gold comes by pretty quick. Usually I'll be able to go back, get Philo stone and another 1 or 2 wards for lane.

The only downside is not having a pink ward early, so if the enemy team early pink wards your river ward you might have to go back earlier to grab more wards. If they don't have a pink ward, you just take the lead from being aggressive & getting your gp5 item faster.
