Soraka is incredibly imbalanced

I understand creating a class with a greater emphasis on just healing is important for the diversity of the game, but raka is just too monster.... playing in diamond, it's easy to say shes probably the most toxic champion in the game atm, and every raka I've met has agreed. it requires very little mechanical skill, her silence is "what..." the fact that she can easily heal herself with poke that is also easy to land poke is "WHAT BRAH". If you make a catch, she shouldnt be able to completely negate the fact a catch was made with her spam of heals, and she shouldn't be able to have so much utility in team fights with her silence which doubles as a bind and her heals. If you want to make her a healer, please massively strip her utility, and if you want to make her more on the utility side, massively reduce her heals.

Target the Soraka. End of story.

I've played a lot of games where people totally disregard me, playing as soraka, while i just spam my heals and Q and wait to silence the enemy team at the right time.

Usually when they take me out first, everyone else on my team dies too.

I think people are upset with Soraka because it forces them to adjust their play styles.

Seriously, when someone describes a champion or a player as "toxic", you can be guaranteed that it's because they don't actually have a leg to stand on and they're throwing the word around like it's a magic spell that makes things they don't like go away.

I don't know where I stand on her honestly. If you are good at minimizing her only source of self-healing, she suffers a lot. If not, she is basically a sustain monster as long as she has mana to keep her own health up. As far as the silence/root... I feel like it needs to be tweaked in someway but I can think of anything specific.

Biggest problem I have with Raka is her AoE silence/root is nuts.

That's too powerful for a game like League of Legends where Silence is equivalent to Doom and has very odd interactions with what skills you can use.

If Riot bothered to make sense with how Silence works then Raka's AoE wouldn't be nearly as devastating.

i wish some of these guys would say "just kill ___" when they complain about the same 4 champions for an entire season
