Soraka and new Grievous Wounds

Miniclan··10 votes·688 views

Hello!, so you're returning Grievous wounds to it's original 'Reduce all healing received' instead of just self-healing. Then could you give Soraka back her 'cleanse Grievous wounds'? If I remember correctly you eliminated that part of her ult to give her enemies better chances of defeating her without affecting her healing on allies. If those changes makes it to live she'll be rendered useless against any aggressive comp with summoner 14 because she won't be able to heal her ally at all. Moreover, with executioner's calling applying the effect on each aa by the price of 800 g she won't be able to do nothing at all. Because of that, could you make her 'w' immune to healing reduction effects + making her ult remove grievous wounds?

P.S: I know Soraka is a bit strong right now and she should receive some sort of nerf, but I think she should receive it in different parts of her kit, not in making her completely useless in the same moment the enemy adc has 800 gold. Thank you for your attention.

Edit: Obviously there are probably loads of options other than 'making 'w' immune to reduction effects', it was just an idea I didn't tought much about, but you get my point.

Making Astral Infusion immune to would be no different than how she is now. I've had to deal with GW reducing my heals by 50% for 5 seasons, I'm sure you and everyone else can adjust and adapt to it too. The part where Wish no longer removes GW, however, is dumb. Especially dumb is how Riot wants to wait and see how Soraka reacts to GW affecting all heals, which should be obvious by now, considering healing is her forté. I just hope Riot reacts fast enough via hotfix.

I agree

I'm not sure what made them think that the original version of GW would be balanced with the new Executioner's Calling in the game.

I would be more worried about AP champions with morel. As zyra bot lane I would rush it for that match up.

No.

Soraka is the primary reason why they have to change this back, if not THE reason.

Soraka needs a "re-imagining", her playstyle just isn't appropriate for a MoBA.

If they leave Soraka as-is, she'll never be taken bot again because her entire kit will be rendered useless by an eight hundred gold item with a solid build path that ends in a powerful item in its own right.

They keep nerfing her non-healing utility and damage output, so healing is pretty much everything she'll bring going forward. With that dropped by 40% due to Executioner's Calling, she'll go from her currently overpowered state to "never taken ever."
