Portal

1 X

Janus creates a portal in the world. If placed on a wall, the portal will create a passage through to the other side of the wall that Janus or any ally may use. The portal 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 damage upon landing, and are considered banished during the fall.

I aggree with you, but the problem is that this website is not up to date anymore so i can't change the items in order because many items just don't exist. Maybe they will patch it, but if not this was my last guide on this website. R.I.P

I agree with the Shroud start, but I don't feel like he needs to rush boots (especially since he has high mobility as is, between having Portal and Threshold). I feel it'd be best to grab an item before Boots, Thoth or Bancroft's being that item. I also feel like the Shard could be optional, no real reason to have it set in stone that you get it as the 5th item. Sometimes it's not even worth building.
Polynomicon is great on Janus, as is with nearly all Mages, and CDR on Janus is amazing, though I believe it to be preference between CDR and raw power (ensuring a single burst to kill vs. more burst oppurtunities in a team fight).
