Slightly salty right now. What do you do when the enemy team soraka is tankier then their whole team via heals/shields... It be okay if it were only for her but its also for her whole team.. Should I be trying to kill her... or focus everyone else meanwhile she heals them..

I am upset because I think the fact I'm practically full AD and I jump mon her and cant freaking kill her is retarded. Not to mention I had a troll fucking jger so I am here trying extra hard to carry and I cant kill the fucking squishy support... so stupid... Someone tell me what it is I am supposed to be doing in this situation before I call it bullshit and stop playing...

get grievous wounds - she is a monster without grievous wounds and a puny street rat with them

item 3123 / item 3033 makes it almost possible to ignore her, and much easier to murder her directly. (Mages can build morellos which can be effective, but ad champs have it much easier since they can apply it on all physical damage.)

For some reason lots of ADs will wait until like 4th or 5th item to get one of those, by which point the enemy team has probably snowballed. There's also people who may be out of touch with their patch notes and think grievous wounds doesn't help against soraka (i.e. it only prevent self heals), so you've got people who are rigid in their build order (or builds entirely) who let raka win, as well as the simply ignorant ones who don't know how greivous wounds works.

It's super frustrating to play as raka when the enemy team does know to get wounds asap.

kill her... take a early lane dominate champ with burst and ignite and kill her... and kill her/poke her out of team fights. don't let her stand in the back just healing.

Don't let the enemy team get so fed that Soraka gets to build tank.

Focus her.

Focus her. Think of her as a carry support becuase that is what she is essentially.

She carries her team with heals. Also your troll jungler also contributed to your loss.

Always kill Soraka first. There are very few supports in the game that are more important than the ADC and Soraka is the main on. Another one is Thresh simply cause he may lantern and flash to save his ADC if a gank comes in or Tahm for a similar reason. So, in games like that when your team is ganking, you need for land your CC on the Soraka, Thresh, and Tahm if you want a chance at getting anything out of that fight. Later in the game, go back to focusing the squishes over the now tanky Thresh/Tahm but keep focusing the Soraka.

I've had games as Soraka where I'm literally at 12 hp running around the edge of a fight healing whenever I regen enough to do so and never die simply cause no one is trying to kill me. A stray minion auto would kill me if one targets me.

As others have said, get an Executioner's Calling or the upgraded Mortal Reminder to cut her heals. This also applies to tanks with sustain like Darius, Illaoi, Renekton, Trundle, Vlad, Swain, Mundo, etc. This is one of the biggest tips I can tell you in the game cause no one does this in low Elo. If the enemy team has life steal items or built in sustain in their kit, EC/mortal reminder is the best way to make your life easier.
