Uhhh didn't you rework Soraka for a certain reason back then?

That reason mainly was: heal too strong, especially when it gives def stats.

Now you released a mastery that makes her heals stronger and gives them def stats on top of that...

Playing against that feels completly atrocious tbh. Who thought that this mastery was ever a good idea as long as Soraka exists? Like, seriously. Isn't there a checklist for internal testing that's like "in case of buffing heals keep a close eye on these champions"?

You really need to redo that mastery - or nerf raka. The shield part is fine, but buffed heals plus stats are completly over the top with raka right now ...

Leave Soraka alone. She was just NERFED in 5.24. Leave her alone.

Playing against this is abolute bullshit the way it is now. Either the mastery or raka. One needs changes. Pick your poison then.

You need to learn how to counter Soraka in lane. As a Platinum Support main, I tell you she is fine right now.

there is no counter in lane please stop posting, and dont even type "platinum support main", it gives you less credibility

I'm usually playing top or jungle, so I do not really encounter her in lane.

The problem is the absolute lackyou can do against the tons of healing she dishes out in teamfights as there is now not a single mechanic to work against that with grivious wounds being changed.

And focussing her? Well, then the enemy ADC, APC and squishy bruiser tear yout team apart...

Yeah well, Morello was right and he was the main reason why dedicated healers weren't a thing

Then he kinda faded away into obsurity and the balance team is doing whatever the fuck they want now. Soraka would be bearable if Riot didn't screw around with GW

Nope, Vesh and Morello basically designed the new Soraka. I believe Vesh is listed as the designer, but at the time Vesh heavily implied that he was using Morello's design principles for the rework (kind of made it sound like they were working together).

No, that wasn't the reason they reworked her at all. The reason they reworked her was because she was being played as a binary low-counterplay bruiser jack-of-all-trades thing. In fact she was pretty useless in a support position at the time; her heal was rather pathetic really.
