Soraka is pure aids

I've made this thread before. I know. But I'd rather go against 5 pre silence nerf Leblancs than go vs a soraka

You mean Soraka can silence you and then immediately burst you down?

I'd rather have a field to walk around than that. Yes, it's annoying, but zoning is all Soraka can do defensively outside healing. Respect the field, or you get stunned. At least it's not EQ like Leona.

Soraka is much more fun to play against than Leblanc, any day.

Not at all. The cancer that is her spam heal must be removed

You mean the one that costs 10% of her health, making it easier to burst her down?

And let's ignore that outside her ult, she has to land one of the easiest to dodge skillshots to heal herself.

She's not cancer, she's got a shit ton of counterplay and ways to work around. And she's a lot more fun to play against and "outplay" than Lebitch would ever be.

Maybe if you don't aim directly at their center, but it's pretty hard to miss if you do.

And yeah. Counterplay. Focus her or lose. That's a great work around. And i should probably change my wording to focus her and lose, because by the time you can actually catch her and kill her your entire team is dead.

She can heal a fuckton, but that's about it. Don't really see the problem with her.

Now I know what you're thinking: "40 K?! NERF!!!"

Nah, in order to heal that much you need to build straight AP http://i.gyazo.com/da44cce09cd994351af8a03d19df292c.png

This leaves her extremely vulnerable and reliant on the user's ability to position well. It's a fair tradeoff imo; you heal absurd amounts, but you die extremely easy.

Yeah, no. That thing is hard as fuck to land if they're not standing 2 teemos near you. Pretty sure it's slower than Nami's bubble.

And yeah. Counterplay. Focus her or lose. That's a great work around.

If you don't focus the Jinx you lose. If you don't focus the 10/0 Fiora you lose. ?????

She's really easy to kill; she has no mobility spells and her only form of peel is a small silence zone.

Yea, but those are carries. Focusing a carry immediately removes a large amount of damage immediately. focusing soraka doesnt

Focusing Soraka removes a lot of survivability from the carry. Of course you're welcome to ignore her and let her sustain the carry as they shred your team. She does her job well if you let her, which is exactly what should happen.

Joe Dredd1 votes

you think I didn't try focusing her? Their carries proceeding to fucking bust a nut on our teams face as we focused soraka.

Truly Prideful1 votes

She has zero escapes. If she positioned that well and her tank(s) defended the backline that well, you guys got outplayed. She's a support, her base health is terrible unless she builds for it and if she builds health she won't heal like you're claiming. So like I said, you guys probably got outplayed.

umm. If she spams her heal, she kills herself. 10% max health cost adds up fast m8.

that's nice

Just focus down the squishy goat, problem solved

Joe Dredd1 votes

and then their carries fuck you. nice loss m8

ShaftyMegee1 votes

Heh and if you focus the carries the goat heals them. Do damage yo the goat and she can't heal anyone.

Joe Dredd1 votes

Do damage to soraka and the carries fuck you.

Why did you make this thread? To rant like a child about the things you don't like? You're just looking for arguments and I'm not into that. Have fun with your game.

Joe Dredd1 votes

Why did you post?

ShaftyMegee1 votes

Because that's what you are supposed to do on the boards..... silly goose...

people find the most amazing things to complain about despite every other actual problem there is.

BeatzBoyFTW1 votes

What's the point of making this thread? You basically ignored other people's tips & continues sulking off that she has "no counterplay", when we have better champs to complain about Ekko Katarina Riven . It makes you look a little retarded. In case you're gonna say:

#Op: Pfft, really noob? Those champs you listed are easy to coun-

WOAH WOAH, Im gonna stop you right there m8. You're not in our level yet. What makes you think you can deal with those mobile champs as I listed above when you can't even deal with an immobile non-bursty support champion yourself?

I actually wanted to give you some tips, but I guess that seems off the table judging from your behaviour as seen in the comments. Deal with the hospital goat yourself. Either take in the tips the commenters giving you now & apply it, or continue whining at the corner of your bedroom expecting the Boards Community to actually take pity on you.

Joe Dredd1 votes

Ok. Name a single tip anywhere in this thread. Please show me what I ignored. Also, fuck ekko, katarina isn't that bad to go against, and neither is riven.

WOAH WOAH, Im gonna stop you right there m8. You're not in our level yet. What makes you think you can deal with those mobile champs as I listed above when you can't even deal with an immobile non-bursty support champion yourself?

As if soraka doesn't run around at the speed of fuckin light. And, you're right. I'm not on your shit level. I'm far above you.

Those were the tips you stubbornly ignored.

My tip?

  • Pick a diving champ like Thresh or Leona(as support), or any other diving carries like Xin Zhao. She is helpless when face-to-face.
  • Each of her heals makes her suicide at each point, and her Q has quite a delay. Dodge her Q, ez kill.
  • If you see her build HP, that's just makes your job in killing her easier, since she is literally hurting herself even more when she heals her allies.

Only works when she is running towards her wounded allies, so she ain't a fking Ekko/pre-nerfed Kassadin.

Also, fuck ekko, katarina isn't that bad to go against, and neither is riven. And, you're right. I'm not on your shit level. I'm far above you.

Not gonna work. You QQ'ed on a support. There's no need to act tough. Just cry. Let it all out.

how does making this thread before make you know

lB2kGRlc8y1 votes

So... lulus and janna's that consistently shield their carries aren't cancer? You've basically just tried to make the argument that supports are cancerous, and that a really dumb argument to make.

Joe Dredd1 votes

It doesn't feel like pure aids to go against lulu and janna

lB2kGRlc8y1 votes

If you're an immobile champion, it feels like cancer and aids had a baby fighting them, but still, calling them cancerous is a stupid move, its just that they countered that type of hero.
