Soraka is a Toxic champion.

There is no counterplay to soraka. The only counter play is to focus her, but she gets a shit ton of MS from her passive, her ult heals a ton, and she has self peel with her E. Please riot, she needs a change. She is EXTEREMLY annoying to play against when you are playing a melee because if you are in her E as a melee carry, you are dead. Also, she makes it IMPOSSIBLE to kill anyone with her w heal on her ultimate heal. She can make someone go from 100 health to 500 at level 6. She is a toxic champion that needs to be looked at because she is either useless, or can carry her entire team by healing everything she sees on a 2 sec cooldown.

LOL are you really saying she is toxic? She has to spend her own hp to heal, her passive only works if she has an ally that is low and only running at them. Her E takes several seconds before the bind happens. All you have to do is hit her every time she tries to come in to poke or heal, if you force her to waste Heal smn or ult to save herself, you already basically won.

Her ult at lvl6 heals for like 200, like 300 if someone is below 50%. She is a healing champ, of course she is meant to make your life hell trying to get a kill. You have no one to blame but yourself for not being able to kill Raka. Also the 2 second CD heal spamming? Yeah she will do that and watch she is down to 1% hp in a few cast. She can totally spam that.

I am sorry but it is one thing to QQ about Thresh or Blitz or Leona since they actually are annoying...but Raka? This is just sad....

Yeah but what does she do outside heals? Apply a silence and situational snare like every 10-18 seconds or drop an easily dodged skillshots can sometimes slow. She practically gives up everything in order her teammates I would think that should warrant her at least be good at it. Hell she literally kills herself for her team. Her MS boost only activates if she is running to a wounded ally, not a very reliable escape is it? E for self peel? Please. Seriously, play a champion once in the LCS plus do good with it and everyone screams broken and don't say this isn't your reason. These types of threads only started appearing when she got picked.

If she's getting MS from her passive it means there's a critically wounded Champion you're not bursting down, which there shouldn't be because you're supposed to be blowing her up the second she takes a step too close to the enemies.

She gets MS IF she's running towards a dying ally. She doesn't get a move speed boost if she herself is dying. Silence is all she has to peel for herself, and it's not hard to walk out of.

She might need some range nerfs, but other than that, healing is all Soraka does. She's either fairly squishy when jumped upon (AP build) or isn't squishy, but any decent focus on her heal target and she can't keep up with the DPS.

Soraka is mostly annoying in the laning phase. Later on, you better hope you or your mage ally(ies) are smart enough to buy item 3165 in conjunction with item 3151 if you/they don't have any innate DoT magic damage. Soraka's ult only cleanses one instance of Grievous Wounds, so with DoT magic damage in a team fight, you are more able to keep the debuff on enemies to prevent her from constantly healing them.

Focus Soraka. Dodge her Q.

Once she's ≤50% HP you can basically ignore Soraka and go for the AD Carry. She'll either kill herself healing her Carry, or go oom and become irrelevant. She has no tools that can really deal with an all-in unless you mess up.

Nami on the other hand...

Oh yes, she has an on-demand escape. It's not like she can only do that when there's a low health ally she's moving toward.

and she has self peel with her E.

God forbid a support have any tools to protect themselves. Especially "self peel" that you can walk out of that doesn't even slow you down unless you stand on it for the whole duration.

She is EXTEREMLY annoying to play against when you are playing a melee because if you are in her E as a melee carry,

You know what kind of cc is stronger than silence? Stuns. Can you walk out of a stun? No... well, not when you're stunned (inb4 smartass Ekko remarks :P )

or can carry her entire team by healing everything she sees on a 2 sec cooldown.

She can only heal one person at a time with that cooldown, her ult has a decent cooldown, and it costs her own health. Unless it's late-game, you fed her, and she has randuin's and Warmogs, you should have some aoe in teamfights or assassinate her when the moment arrives. She can't cast heal forever without her ultimate, and she should be sufficiently squishy.

She heals a lot, we get it. She's the healer. That's like complaining about assassins assassinating (within reason, mind you), tanks tanking, bruisers bruising, marksmans manning, mages maging, and supports buying wards.

Guys, being toxic doesn't mean being OP

Wait... you didn't realize that?

The only counter play is to focus her, but she gets a shit ton of MS from her passive, her ult heals a ton, and she has self peel with her E.

The movespeed only takes her towards allies who are almost dead, her ultimate heals but she's squishy even through it, and her E self peel can be easily avoided, particularly the root on it. She is not that hard to kill. This is not an unreasonable expectation. It's also not the only counterplay to her. Large amounts of AoE damage and very quick burst and even just zoning Soraka from her team all work against her kit.

because she is either useless, or can carry her entire team by healing everything she sees on a 2 sec cooldown.

No, she's got a pretty wide range between useless and godlike. She's perfectly capabable of contributing without going overboard or doing too little. This is not a valid complaint.

He E isnt a heal.. She heals when she lands her Q...

She used to be a lot more OP she used to be able to heal herself with her W and give her carry mana.

Now the heal is only if she his her Q on you, and W costs a portion of her health Her E is just a scilence and a root if people stay in it. . and her R is the only thing that can counter Karthus

Soraka lacks the ability to carry. She can get adcs fed who have no right to be normally, but that's what she does. She has zero setup in terms of hard cc that the likes of blitzcrank or nautilus or leona can do to wreck you. Laning against her is pretty much a 2v1, with her just sitting there trying to Q you to recuperate lost health from her healing harass
