I think this build is very good, as it gives you 40% cooldown with 30 flat pen and 40% pen with the obsidian shard passive and some sustain from soul gem. If you want prots go with celestial legion helm or void stone. Open for discussion

If you find you NEED anti-heal early, then you could consider getting early and potentially replace it late. But I would take the considerations DV-8 discussed, and maybe consider not picking up at all unless absolutely necessary.

One additional option would be, in place of Divine or Devo's, you could grab . It subs well due to still having flat pen, but since that has some lifesteal, you could consider subbing out and getting a later .

I think that this is definitely a solid build that can allow you to find some success.

When I've played as Janus in the past, I really valued high CDR early in the form of rushing . It enabled my Janus to farm more effectively during the laning phase while also refreshing his ridiculously long ult timer more frequently.

So, if we're not going , what benefit are we getting instead? Double flat pen is arguably the best answer right now, which you have opted for. The damage potential that it provides is without a doubt shaping the meta for mid currently.

But when I look at this on someone like , I'm not 100% sold on it. Double flat pen really shines on gods who have high lane pressure (i.e. ). Depending on who your opponent is, most players can avoid your 2 pretty consistently in 1v1 scenarios. For this reason, Janus usually only wants to fight when he has a numbers advantage. Otherwise he's just hyper farming and trying to get to Late Game, where he is arguably the strongest. I also don't think he utilizes very effectively as it can be difficult to apply onto multiple targets consistently.

All that being said, I haven't really played Janus in Season 9, so I'd be interested to hear thoughts from someone who has.
