Current State of Soraka

Soraka Christ··2 votes·580 views

Im just curious if anyone can link me to why Soraka was "reworked" into a heal bot? I dont understand how having a healer being played as a mage warranted an entire rework into an unplayable character. Granted I may be whining but new raka is boring. Soraka r.i.p

she was a champ with a heal similar to taric and sona rather than THE dedicated healer champ ;l

also cuz solo lane raka reminds me of the "healers" in cancernest who pretty much roll solo, beat the shit out of the unholy and apparently did real well at pvp

cause healers shouldnt be able to kick the ass of the solo laners she goes against.

old soraka mid(or even worse top) " oh im sorry, you wanted cs? i cant hear you over the spammable stars falling on your face"

also doesnt help that all you need to do to use this strat is spam one button.....

and how is that Soraka any different from this one? you just spam heals while every once in a while trying to hit someone with your Q much like old Soraka was just spamming Q while every once in a while either healing herself or silencing you

cause you pay for healing your ally in a meaning full way that changes how soraka plays. spam your heal you waste your hp. you also definetly cant spam your star call and do as much stuff as it used to pre rework. healing from star call isnt guaranteed too so your taking risk for a reward

counter play plus more risk reward is why they changed her

not really, i can spam my heal and when i am somewhat low just hit the enemy a few times with my Q or just wait for my HP to regen. Soraka is currently the easiest and most boring champion to use in the game. At least before she put herself in danger while pushing her lane like crazy now it's just "heal, heal, heal.... heal... q... maybe another q... heal or q... heal... oh someone's coming! E... heal... damn my adc is full uhh q... q... finally he got hit! heal... ult... heal...heal+q..."
