@Riot, can we get some context on the Soraka Q range nerfs?

I'd say I'm a pretty experienced player. I'm an avid soraka player when I'm not in the jungle, and I've played against her plenty as well. And from my experience and the experience of others, the biggest issue of Soraka was never her Q or her Q regen, it's the fact that she can get so much health regen from coin and the defensive masteries. What this allows Soraka to do is sit behind her adc and spam the W button without actually losing health.

You see in a circumstance where Soraka actually has to use her Q she's put at risk from poke, all ins and ganks. This was sufficient tradeoff for the Q healing her. The problem is when you don't need to use your Q, why put yourself at risk in the first place? And with the changes that are being put forth I wouldn't be surprised if Soraka players stopped putting points in Q in more poke oriented lanes, and opting for more points in W instead because they will literally never use it.

At max range it's already hard to use, relying on forcing your opponents to move a certain way to land it. After the range nerf it'll be practically unusable. But that begs the question, what in the world made you want to target her Q in the first place?
