I was the top Soraka player from my country.

And i want to continue on this path, but i call a rioter to talk with me about her future.

Riot, you can't complete gut her every time you feel she is off the tracks. You are making me very sad. It's not like it's fun to see everyone playing with her because there is no more counter play to healing [g wounds], but why kill the character instead of bringing the correct balance? I have made more than 8 posts in the past about Soraka until you guys agree to make her silence an area effect. This is one example:

http://forums.br.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=190830&page=1

Why not simple balance her in the way we always agreed about? "Rewarding good players and punishing bad ones. " It's clear you guys want to see Soraka die more in team fights. But you guys are even removing all interesting mechanics from the champion that could possible reward a good play with her to achieve that! That is not the way man! You guys should eliminate BAD SORAKAS that still feel UNFAIR by doing the REGULAR! Not decrease the skill cap of the champion.

Explain me, what on her mechanics will reward a good player now? Before, i could stay with 2 health in the team fight, avoid all skill shoots, hit 3 champions with starcall and be vastly rewarded by it not only by healing more but too by my multiple starcall heals. Now i will stay with 2 health in the team fight for what? To regenerate freaking 170 health? Over 5 freaking seconds? What is the reward? What will be the difference between a good and a bad soraka? Why should i be at "high risk" if there is no cap for "high reward"?

To make the point clear now: 1- I have no reward for having AP or building a 25 flawless mejai, with this "amazing" 0.1 AP ratio 2- I have no reward for hitting more than 1 champion with starcall in team fights. 3-- I have no reward for staying alive with low health in fights

Now it's clear. Doesn't matter if you are good or bad with soraka. Master tier like myself or a silver V. Soraka players will play equal as does not matter your skills with this build, maybe experienced soraka will die less but that's it. We have old soraka back [ with no skill cap], but worst to stay alive.

Please riot pick at least one: If soraka have low health, increase her starcall healing ratio. If soraka have low health, increase her healing to her friends. If soraka have hit multiple targets, give soraka moviment speed/heal ratio/ reduce cooldown. If soraka have low health, remove soraka skills delay. If soraka have low health, make her X. That X is something just someone with 100 games os more will use right and will shine. If soraka lands a starcall reduce Equinox and her ultimate cooldown. Example of a high risk mechanic that shine is that kind: If soraka lands starcall thrice with less than 40% of her health without missing one, she will regenerate with her passive without limited time until she have max health.

You see? You add a very hard mechanic, that have a very good reward that nobody will be able to pull out without huge training that have freaking counter play [flash / movement] . Don't need to be this way but add skill cap. Please, add skill cap. ADD SKILL REWARD.

Thank you.

There is no "building tank and staying in the back" bro. Tank itens are really expensive and soraka will be able to buy then only in games she already will be winning from the start. Even with that, it's easy to demonstrate it's a "noob trap" or "effect illusion" when comparing to an ap build like i do.

She is not unhealthy either by her kit. The point is that she was balanced before both her heals got buffed by the masteries at the same time Grievous Wound stopped affecting her. The point on her were numbers, but now Riot want to remove high skill benefits too. She will become simple and anti-fun, without high skill reward.

Also @netkingzetto, Soraka is not cancerous neither my suggestions were poor. Feelings of "anti-fun" are something easily corrected by number balance if satisfactory counter play exist. There is nothing poor on the basics of understanding what paths mechanics can climb to.

They are nerfing soraka so she is not anti fun. Soraka I think has an unhealthy kit either she is terrible or oppressive.

My favorite title for her,

" I can do whatever I want and not be punished because Soraka will constantly heal me. =)))))) "

Exactly I played graves old graves adc I had a soraka support. I'm not a great adc. The enemy adc out traded me every time cause he was better, but soraka would just heal me and I'd have more health. I ended up killing him and winning lane. It wasn't cause I was better it was cause every mistake I made was made null.

If that happened then the other laners were idiots who took the q to the face constantly. If you are letting raka's slow ass q hit you every time you deserve to lose lane lol.

The problem with soraka is that the changes have made her cancerous. It's one thing to have a champion that stands in the backline and hands out heals for the entire time, but it's an entirely different thing to have a champion that can build tank, stand in the backline and heal, that has an AOE silence and eventual snare, as well as an ability that heals her for every champion hit, and an ult that not only heals allies in general, as well as allies that are untargetable, with the heal on the ult increasing by 50% for allies below 40% health. She's been cancerous for a fair time now. It has, however, gotten worse with the introduction of two masteries, being runic armor and windspeakers blessing. Not only does WB render her heals 10% stronger, it also gives any ally affected with a heal 5-22 armor and MR equal to half that amount, which scales with level. Her ult now not only heals, it also gives a substantial boost to armor and MR. Runic armor now renders all healing/regen/shields/lifesteal that occur on a player 8% stronger. God forbid you have several people on your team who build spirit visage.

And I haven't even mentioned how oppressive her laning can be. WB actively makes her ADC stronger at early levels, and her ability to heal makes trading not only easy, but beneficial, as in most cases the enemy laners won't be able to heal as effectively, which makes forcing your laners out of lane even easier. She was already fairly cancerous, but now she's become even more so, considering that the changes have buffed her massively. On top of that, the fact that the metagame is filled with incredibly strong ADCs, plus her ability to do all the aforementioned, makes her cancerous to the extreme. The nerfs are well deserved.

And to be entirely honest all of these suggestions you pose are, in short, poor. They, for the most part, make it so that getting to the backline and shutting her down so that she cant simply wreck a teamfight even more difficult. She doesn't need buffs, and she certainly doesn't need buffs that reduce the effectiveness of the only other counterplay against her besides straight massive burst.

Her kit is unhealthy, her playstyle is unhealthy, and she, in no ambiguity, does not need buffs.
