In the public beta environment, Soraka's Q range has been reduced from 950 to 800 and her ultimate no longer removes grievous wounds. And her Astral Infusion is getting a mana cost increase. Is this a huge nerf or is it just a poor excuse of a nerf
Sightless662 votesRange nerfs are always big until proven otherwise. I'd expect this to hurt quite a bit.
Hayaishi22 votesgood, that cancer shouldn't be allowed to be viable.
Flaherty1 votesPBE always overnerfs champs so they can more easily tone it down if they need to. Don't even pay attention to champion changes until you see them on patch notes
Sightless661 votesNot really. I'd say 95-99% of the changes that get put on the PBE make it to live as-is, unless they're part of a rework or a large systems adjustment. If it's just balance tuning, it's almost guaranteed to get released without further changes.

yukumari2 votesmeh most people dont even use q much anyway they just sit behind their adc and spam that heal and win lane it s a joke nerf imo.
What are you talking about, do you even understand how soraka works? IF she spams her heal, without hitting a Q, she can only do that about 10 times before she's either dead or can't use it anymore.
Her heal uses 10% of her MAX hp, so without her Q, she'd be donezo. :|

Penguin Eclipse4 votesthere are things called pots and hp regen runes it s mostly not worth to even try q 'ing people for hp. if you have an average to good adc u wont even need to heal him 10 times to 1v2 enemy bot anyway(unless they have kill lane supports like annie) you can remove her Q skill entirely from her kit and she'll still be toxic and broken as hell
How many people actually take hp regen runes? Can't say I know very many. It takes a lot longer to regen 10% of her max health with HP/5 runes than it does to land a single Q.
Stonington1 votesIt'll make her laning phase less oppressive in lower levels. At higher levels it was super hard to land a max range Q anyway. If the max range Q still has the same delay at 800 as it does at 950, then that's -huge-.
Increasing her mana use on W by 100% to 50% is pretty huge for early levels. Mid to late game it won't mean anything.
The change to her R that removed grievous wounds means almost nothing. I guess it's bad for Mundo or something, but she heals through grievous wounds which is what's up.
