Why even play a damage mid laner, top laner, or jungler when Soraka is allowed to be so overtuned?

If you are playing a primarily damage oriented mid laner vs a team with good Soraka you may as well just afk. Morello isn't even strong enough because you still have to get them lower than 35%, while Soraka can just spam her point and click and press redemption. She will make it seem like you don't exist in the game anyways.

WHY IS SORAKA ALLOWED TO BE SO OVERTUNED? Riot nerfed a bunch of other enchanters when they changed enchanter items but they somehow think Soraka is fine with ancient coin and ardent and current redemption?

Probably because they have more skill expression than standing in place and spamming 1 button and pressing redemption. Probably because they all have weak early games that can be hard countered by certain champions versus Soraka just standing back and waiting for coins to drop and spamming W.

All 4 take far more risks than a Soraka has to take to do their job and do it well lmao.

If your Soraka's are standing way back and pressing w, they are terrible.

They should be using their q's to rip your face off and feeding it to their adc(via w).

Nothing is more annoying than dumpstering a very bad adc but they stay in lane because of Soraka.

Tristana ate every poke to the face amd has no idea what trading stance is? Doesn't matter because Soraka is training wheels.

This entire bot meta is full of Trainng wheel supports covering for horrible tristanas.

F ardent censor and f enchanters.

Do note, Soraka's W costs her own HP bar (flat 10% MAX health) on top of mana. It can't really be spammed a lot of times especially in earlier levels.

Soraka would need to land a bunch of Q (which can be somewhat challenging since the missile travel speed is a bit slow when Soraka doesn't use it to shoot at her feet) to even her heal game or otherwise her healing is almost of negative net gain.

Soraka's R is fucking amazing, yeah ain't denying that. But I don't feel the attack on her W is that justified.
