I think that soraka needs to be removed from one for all because i played one game one for all and i matched up against soraka and when we were close to killing them they pressed ult on eachother and then it felt like soraka had infinite Guardian Angels. Dear Riot please remove her,i think that will make the gamemode a little bit balanced. Hope you read this
Hangsterr2 votesDear Riot plzzz remove Eve cus i over push and 5 eve sudden KaBoom me from behind LMAO
AyRe CoNteMpT1 votesif you let soraka lane against you, you deserve to lose.
Onimarus1 votesWell how's he going to stop them from picking Soraka in the first place?
Blade of Justic1 votesif you let soraka lane against you, you deserve to lose.
That doesn't make sense.
If you let a champ get picked, you deserve your loss?
AyRe CoNteMpT1 votesthere's a difference between being able to pick a champ and being able to lane it. soraka has literally zero anything in lane. she cant waveclear, she cant trade and in a sololane she cant even heal. also she cant jungle AT ALL and since most champions are able to jungle you can have a jungler and two solo lanes which still are able to hold EASY against a duo lane.
for example you can send one top one bot and two middle and hold top and bot while super-punishing the soraka mid and then just ganking the sidelanes with the two midlaners and the jungler and there is nothing soraka can do. soraka is USELESS man and she only becomes "good" once she gets some items and ult levels.
like i once played a one for all with nami against azir and we owned them. in lane we could do nothing but we somehow survived cuz ofc they sucked and when we grouped, five nami ults + bubbles + mass heals were pretty good. but its really the azirs fault for even letting us get to that point and not our achievement as we have literally no options but to hope the azirs mega suck. same with soraka.
Onimarus1 votesYou see, the problem with your reasoning is that you're assuming they're all going to build support.
The silence/CC and self-heal means they could build chalice and just sustain all day. You're also assuming they're definitely going to have a jungler. In a game mode almost nobody takes seriously, you can't expect the same meta.
Sorakas are great against lane bullies but have trouble against bursty champions. Getting to level 6 won't be a problem, and once Soraka is level 6, they become exponentially harder to kill.
Plus, they have the utility to build pure tank and still be extremely useful. This allows others to build AP (or AD depending on how comfortable you are) and be relatively safe. Thinking Soraka is weak is possibly one of the bigger reasons as to why people die against her in the first place. She won't top the charts with her damage, but her sustain and moderate attacks can negate any poke/trade so long as they don't get locked down early on.
AyRe CoNteMpT1 votesim not assuming anything, im relying on the fact that soraka has no waveclear and no potential to trade back effectively in lane against 98% of all champions. this means level 1 to 10 you should be able to zone them from their own towers and crush them with basically everything.
i mean the OP didnt say what champ he played against soraka but name three champions who cant dominate and outscale soraka big time.
Onimarus1 votesAll the other (meta) supports, barring Blitz and Karma. Anybody who is melee without a good gap closer that isn't Olaf. Fiddle, Malz
Off the top of my head, anyway. People like Caitlyn and Trist have the advantage late-game but won't be able to dominate early-mid. People like Brand and Cass would be a skill match-up.
Assassins, (or people who do significant burst damage) will definitely dominate early on. Assuming the Sorakas don't itemize against them, they should also dominate late-game as well.
AyRe CoNteMpT1 votesalmost all other meta supports are at least decent laners. leona is really strong, braum is good, sona is absurdly good especially in oneforall, shen is ofc a good laner, lulu is excellent, thresh zyra velkoz morgana kennen and even fucking BARD are very strong too if built properly.
surely nami and alistar suffer somewhat the same fate as soraka even tho they have at least some extremely strong hard-cc which becomes even stronger when combined with 4 others of the same sort so they can get somewhat strong in oneforall. soraka has nothing.
malz is very strong, why would you name him? he has many different builds and can jungle MEGA good. fiddle can jungle aswell and has better waveclear than soraka and much better trading so he can push her in easily. he can also all-in her with ultimate or walk away if he doesnt want to fight while soraka has literally nothing to force him into anything.
how does cait not have the advantage early-on? a cait or any marksman outdamages soraka so hard that she probably cant even heal against it, especially in a solo lane she just gets zoned from exp range from lvl 1.
how is brand and cass a skill matchup? they are both EXTREMELY strong high damage champions and soraka is an extremely weak zero damage champion. she cant even farm against them or trade or anything.
like, if you put up 6 full build sorakas against 6 full build whatevers, sure it can be funny and they might even win but if you start from level 1 and go to lanes there is absolutely no realistic chance for soraka to finish 1 item before nexus goes down.

Sukishoo1 votesSoraka is powerful in a solo lane if you know how to use her.
Aeolian Melodies1 votessoraka has literally zero anything in lane. she cant waveclear, she cant trade and in a sololane she cant even heal.
One letter for you
Q.
AyRe CoNteMpT1 votesit has low base damage, low scaling, high manacost and is easily dodgeable for champions. even namis Q is stronger AND it has cc. what soraka would need to make her viable in lane is her E to deal damage to minions and monsters but since it can only hit champions, she is forced to "farm" under her tower and get outtraded every time. if you want we can go 1on1, you playing soraka. it aint gonna be much fun i can tell you.
Summonerrr 11 votesI think you may find this video and the fact that Riot SPECIFICALLY nerfed all the mechanics involved in it's success during URF (which I did in fact play The Medic force on before it got nerfed, it deserved it) rather insightful. Healing is a dangerous mechanic to let get out of control. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIOgfmfka5I
