Based on 54 recent matches analyzed, Janna wins with a 55.6% win rate compared to Soraka's 44.4%, giving Janna a 11.1 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Janna controls the early laning stage, but Soraka outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Janna needs to press advantages before Soraka reaches their power spikes, while Soraka should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Soraka leads by 593 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Janna has a strong advantage in this matchup.
