I wish AP Soraka was stronger...

50CaliberHecate··3 votes·1,383 views

I don't get very "far" in a build before the game ends cause' games these days end so quickly, but I hate how even having 3-4 items with an additional 245AP still can't even kill the caster minions in the back. Most AP champions can be level 10-11 and kill them with at least 3 items. Some earlier than that...

I just hate how she's tied to ONLY support just because "oh she heals. Insta-support!" I mean look at Nidalee, she can play Jungle, support, AND mid.

I thought it would be interesting to rework her kit! Maybe she can have different Spell paths!

Her passive would remain the same because it works so well, even if she was a mid/support hybrid, the gank potential would be awesome!

Q - Soraka can choose 2 damage paths; STARCALL/STARECHO -STARCALL - Her original Q ability -STARECHO - Instead of healing for a percentage of health, a secondary star additionally falls in it's place, dealing 10/30/60/120/180 (+60% Ability Power) Damage.

W - Soraka can choose between 2 heal paths; ASTRAL INFUSION/ASTRAL MEND -ASTRAL INFUSION - her original W ability -ASTRAL MEND - Soraka can additionally heal her self. If she has STARCALL active, she additionally gains a permanent 5 health for health received to her. If she has STARECHO active, she gains a temporary shield one she is below 30% for 2 seconds. This shield gains armor/magic resist stats based upon damage dealt by STARECHO.

E - Soraka can choose between to CC paths; EQUINOX/SOLSTICE -EQUINOX - her original E ability -SOLSTICE - Soraka throws out a line of 5 stars, enemies who walk through this field of stars are slowed for 1 second. The stars will additionally attach to an enemy, where they will then explode dealing 10/30/60/120/180 (+60% Ability Power).

R - Soraka can choose between to additional ult paths; WISH/REAP -WISH - Her original R Ability -REAP (I originally wanted to say, rework Karthus and give his ult to Soraka! But I thought maybe I could be creative too) Soraka gains an additional 30% cooldown for 10 seconds on all of her spells, allowing her to exceed the cool down limit. (Yes, so she can spam you with MORE Qs! HEHEHE!)

I just thought with the way Riot was going with so many champs having all this additional path stuff and what not, it would be cool to see her expanded to more than just a flat based spam healer your ally Draven uses as a meat shield.

This isn't a rework. This is literally "revert Soraka but give her a fuck ton of extra shit on top of it because it somehow won't be broken trust me"

I don't want to revert Soraka. I want a new Soraka all together. She's very flat. And wouldn't surprise me if Riot thought it was fair, I mean look at Zoe W, Veigar passive, Akali Shroud (before it's nerf), Lux ult(CDR wise), the entirety of Irelia before her hard nerfs, Pyke's passive, Kai'sa passive before hard nerfs. It's really not that unacceptable to see things done over the top anymore. I'm not even adding a bunch of damage to her, I'm giving her kit options. Like I said, she's a flat character Draven would use as a meat shield. I don't want her to just "heal a little more", I want her to be able to have power and oomph.

Erm... ur proposed changes are likely too strong. Honestly, reverting Soraka to her most recent previous state, (season 5) with some changes qould prbly be best as it gives her both damage and skillexpression. My proposed change to give her some balance is that each time her starcall damages someone the heal value she gives is decreased.

The q used to show some level of skill (what with the center doing increased dmg) and actually dealt a nice amount of dmg, I also liked its interaction with W... if anything I’d change it so W costs more health thereby meaning u have to land ur Qs more frequently or make it so she only gets health back from hitting targets in the middle. Being able to heal minions also was a bit interesting too xD.... basically I want Soraka to be able to be played mid again whilst not making her support oppressive.... maybe do a tradeoff thing with her passive, the more she heals the less dmg her q does, the more she damages she weaker her heal (from W at least) with it resetting after each ult or slowly changing based on which spell was last cast. Could potentially also have E damage minions? but i'd decrease the dmg to minions.

I mean nothing in my proposal would be permanent, she'd need tweaks. See how it works and remove on up (sorta like reverse engineering I guess?)

I just wish League would go more into kit specific duality rather than mastery specific, cause' the rune system was suppose to be "design your own path" but.. we all know Zed is gonna take Electrocute. We all know Janna will take Aery. We all know Nasus will take Grasp. I think allowing us to choose between different characterized kits would allow Summoners to feel like they are playing what THEY like, not just "oh here's what is op in the runes tree atm."

Soraka is as good in any other role as nidalee currently is in any role that isn't jungle.
