Lore

Many fear change. Venturing into the unknown. Deviating from a path of safety and certainty into something unexpected. But life is change; a journey through doorways both physical and emotional, with every moment a passage to something new, and it is Janus, God of Portals and Transitions that governs this.

Bearing two faces, Janus is ever looking to the future and to the past, knowing both but controlling neither. He is only the in-between, found in the changing of seasons, at the birth of a child, at the entrances to the temple and the tavern. For this reason the Romans named the first month after him: January – a portal between the old year and the new.

Yet the Roman emperors also attribute a strange tradition to Janus. At each end of his temple stand massive doors. In times of peace, these doors are closed, but in times of war, flung open. As Rome rose to power, rarely were these doors shut, but almost four hundred years of peace have clothed Rome since then and the temple has grown dusty with absence. These days, however, the doors are open once more. It seems war has returned, and the greatest of changes are upon us.

Skills

Name	Icon	Slot	Description
Passages		Passive	Any time Janus transitions through a portal or over a threshold he becomes aged and wizened, gaining 25% additional magical scaling on his next ability cast.
Portal		1st Ability	Janus creates a portal in the world. If placed on a wall, the portal will create a passage up to 100 ft through to the other side of the wall that Janus or any Ally may use. The portal lasts 5s and may be entered from either side, but closes after 1 use. If placed on the ground, enemies and Janus will fall into the portal, being teleported into the air above it. Enemies take 80/130/180/230/280 (+60% of your magical power) damage upon landing, and are considered banished for 1.5s during the fall. Cost: 70 mana. Cooldown: 12 seconds.
Unstable Vortex		2nd Ability	Janus creates two unstable portals, far too small to fit into, and flings them forward dealing 90/150/210/270/330 (+70% of your magical power) damage to enemies in their path. Enemies hit by both portals take 30% damage on the second hit. Cost: 70/75/80/85/90 mana. Cooldown: 8 seconds.
Threshold		3rd Ability	Passive: Janus increases the movement speed of himself and allies each time they go through a portal or over a Threshold by 10/15/20/25/30% for 5s (max 2 stacks). Active: Janus opens a multi-dimensional rift that lasts 3/4/5/6/7s. Enemies who pass over the rift are slowed by 20/25/30/35/40% and marked with Phase for 3s. Targets in Phase take 20/30/40/50/60% additional magical scaling damage when hit by Janus' damaging abilities. Cost: 60/65/70/75/80 mana. Cooldown: 15 seconds.
Through Space and Time		Ultimate	Janus blasts a ball of multi-dimensional energy across the battlefield, burning a portal into every surface it encounters within range 500. These portals last 10s, may be used by allies, and do not vanish after the first use. Enemy gods hit by the energy take 200/300/400/500/600 (+50% of your magical power) damage, increasing in magical scaling the further the energy travels up to 200% scaling at range 800. Janus is immune to crowd control while firing. Cost: 100 mana. Cooldown: 90 seconds.

Trivia

• Janus was originally meant to carry a sword/key as his weapon, but the idea was scrapped before release. You can still find a smaller version of the key hanging from his belt, and you can see the full size key in his hand in his Default Janus skin card.
• One of Janus' taunts, "You shall not pass!.. through my portals that is.", is a reference to Gandalf from the Lord of the Rings series.
• Janus' Defeat Screen animation is a reference to the american animated cartoon Scooby-Doo.
