Guide to Countering Janna as Vayne

Tips for Playing as Vayne against Janna

Don't go in first to a large teamfight. Wait for your teammates to initiate.

Tumble has many uses, but it cannot pass over walls.

Condemn can be used to both pin targets to walls to ensure a kill, or to escape a pursuer.

Advice to Win Against Janna

Janna's at her strongest when buffing another ally. If you can harass her ally, it will weaken her ability to fight you.

Save an interrupt ability for when Janna uses her ultimate.

Listen for the charge up sound on Howling Gale in case Janna is trying to hit you with it from off screen or from brush.
