The stat comparisons shown here clarify several valuable Hwei versus Janna counter stats that may help us understand the differences between this set of champions. As an example, Hwei’s KDA ratio ([kills + assists] / deaths) of NaN is greater than Janna’s ratio of NaN, demonstrating that Hwei may be more central to their team's team fighting potential than Janna. This observation is largely a result of the difference in kills.
Hwei usually has a much larger longest kill spree than their opponent does. On average, they takes a similar amount of damage to Janna. This often reflects differing health capacities, but it can also hint that the one champ has less mobility and thus is unable to kite away from further harm when engaged or poked.
Both League champions are great. Both have their strengths, weaknesses, and counters. In the game's current meta, Hwei usually loses when taking on Janna, with a 44.9% win rate. As a result, Hwei makes a poor counter for Janna.
While Hwei does have a much lower win rate than Janna, when they face off with one another, Hwei also has a greater learning curve that makes them a more difficult character to pick up and master.

Additionally, Hwei has some amount of CC and other utility, a similar amount to Janna. This often makes her just as valuable during team fights, especially when facing champions with a ton of burst damage.
