Soo, About Soraka..

Could she please receive a buff?

Before you go straight to the comments and rage about how she's already to strong and that I'm just some unranked low elo player who doesn't know what they're talking about, please listen. I have been playing her a lot recently, just got her to M5, and I have to admit, while she is good, not the best but nowhere near the worst pick, she's a bit lacking. All I want is two small changes. First of all, I find that her ult is almost always on cooldown when my team needs it most, which I can understand it having a long cooldown due to its global presence, but all I would like is maybe 10 seconds shaved off it at each rank. Even with 40% CDR and Ultimate Hat maxed at 15% it still seems to always be on cooldown when I need it. Secondly, and this isn't even that big of an issue, but I find it hard to mana manage with her, as you are constantly healing and then using your Q to heal yourself as Soraka, that by 5 minutes in I find that I'm already out of mana. The only thing I would want is to boost her base mana but a small amount.

The runes I use on her are Summon Aery, then Ultimate Hat, Celerity, Gathering Storm, and then I get Revitalize and Font of Life. If any Soraka mains want to tell me what runes they use, I would be happy to listen.

Please go easy on me in the comment section

She won’t ever be buffed. Riot hates healing champions, because they aren’t capable of balancing them (despite it being laughably easy to do so).

Riot hates enchanters because they're capable of keeping ADC's alive in ways other than dealing a shit ton of damage to the enemy team

1)No, her ult is fine. During the time of cooldown. Just focus on yourself and your ADC instead of other. Not to mention the amount of her heal in level3 Ultimate. It's insanely a lot. It means you have to use it carefully in early game. You should only use her Ultimate when the heal could possibly reverse the fight for your Jungle, Mid or Top. Otherwise, learn how to control and manage the Heal timing.

2)Mana management. As I am a Soraka lover, I would like to say that. During the laning phrase, do not use the Q spontaneously. I personally advise, use your Q when the enemy is trying to engage, or your ADC and you are low in Health. That is when you should use Q and procs the Q passive and do heal combo to your ADC. You need to learn the timing of using Q when to or not to.

Conclusion, I would say Soraka is balanced, she has her weakness in early game. But in late game, she's insanely overpowered if no one stopped her.

on my main account she is my 2nd most played champ. I think 75k Mastery in the past year.

Anyway I agree since the changes she needs something buffed. For me I think it should be her Q range since the meta has a lot of mages in the support role, she needs to be able to trade without getting destroyed.

The only buff soraka needs is her Ult removing grievous wounds like it used to.

Her ult CD isn't long for being global and Soraka's Q in laning phase takes like no mana. are you taking the mana band rune?
