Yeah that heal spam and instant silence isn't op. raka mains worried people finally found out how broken she always was after yesterday's competitive pick? I mean when was the last rework that wasn't op? 4 last ones? fiora? gp? nida? cass? sion? top gragas? viktor? ryze? not talking about straight nerf reworks like veigar or zilean that had something broken in their kit: veigar's E and Zil's W on R and who also lost their point click harrass.

It's sad how some champions need to see competitive for the balance team to look at them. I seriously hate this game with passion.

she kills herself so easily, people are just not playing aoe champs like karthus ziggs even lux, she becomes such an easier target to snipe, truth is shes nop op, the meta right now simply favours her.

Also shes trading that heal power while sacrificing a lot of things such as not being able to engage or make picks for the team like every other support

Yeah that heal spam that costs 10% of her maximum health and instant silence instead of stuns or hooks that lockdown isn't op.

You know what? I'm going to admit it. When it comes to healing, Soraka is number one.

But she has her weaknesses. Big weaknesses. Ones she can't really ignore, ones that are easier for the enemy to capitalize on, ones that are even harder to mitigate especially due to the Warmog's passive change.

She's not oppressive. She can spam heal, but she's very much killable. Unlike some supports, she doesn't have that one game-changing skillshot that ensures the death of an enemy squishy, she can't peel very well outside of a silence aoe that can be walked out of, she's not in every single solo queue game.

Champions are allowed to be strong, as long as they have their weaknesses.

Does Soraka need nerfs? You know what, maybe she does. Maybe she doesn't. But is she flat-out OP? Not... really.

edit: you know what, nevermind. Feel free to have your opinion, it's fine. If she gets nerfed, she gets nerfed. If she doesn't, she doesn't. No point in wasting too much energy over it.

Cassiopeia rework? Broken?

The very same champion who had a under 30% winrate when the damn thing came out and then was nerfed into unviability again after she received much needed buffs? Yeah sure.

heaven forbid a playstyle that doesn't involve the support hard engaging/disengaging makes it into the lcs.

I don't know if raka is too strong, weak, or just right. All I know is I play a very different game than the Blitz/Thresh/Leona/Naut/Morg supports; a playstyle a lot of players aren't familiar with. Unfortunately for them, I'm quite familiar with theirs. I think that's the only reason I could make it to gold. :)
