Can we please tone down or put a cost on Soraka's late game healing?

It's essentially free of cost, which is extremely problematic when you're playing a long range champion who needs to poke down the opposing team before they engage, or trying to defend against a siege. If she has an Ocean drake, it's just good fucking game.

You can land every single skill shot, and Soraka will just completely heal over it for free. This is fucking stupid, offers zero counter play, and makes it impossible to punish anyone on the enemy team for getting hit.

And it's not like she's even using her Q to sustain herself, she just passively regenerates fast enough to heal over the Infusion cost with her normal build. Most players don't even use this ability in the mid to late game, because it requires them to get too close to the enemy team. This kit design is a complete failure.

Alternatively, make it drop Boots of Mobility so she isn't constantly running around at 500 MS during team fights.

That's not possible against a good Soraka. It requires her to be caught our of position, because she's running around at a constant 500 MS.

The same argument go same with any champion in the game. A good yi can dodge everything. A good Vayne can just 1v5 and take no damage. If you saying the Soraka is good, that mean it not the champ is OP, it is that the player playing that champ is good, therefor she need no tone down to her late game healing.

There's a difference. Yi has to dive into your team to dodge things. Vayne has to get into auto range to kill anyone.

Soraka literally will not even be in your range of vision 90% of the time prior to the engagement.

Good luck applying grievous wounds as a mage when you need to get them below 40%.

Actually, you need to get them below 35 % Health. GW on item 3165 is sucky, but at the same time... item 3123 (And it's respective upgrades) have a EXTREMELY OPPRESSIVE GW Effect with the easiest application and easiest time keeping the debuff up.

Soraka is currently fine balance-wise but that doesn't mean her kit design is good... I'd much rather see more skill-expression be added to her kit. I personally dislike how her W is basically a "kms" ability, there were probably many different ways to keep her healing in check but eh... it is what it is.

Oh but ignite?

Do you really wanna get into ignite range as a long ranged mage?

Leave Soraka alone >:( you can easily shut her down and her team by targetting her first. She's perfectly fine right now.

Yeah perfectly fine sitting at a 54% winrate and 20% pick rate in platinum+, the 2nd highest after Janna for the last 3 patches.

Sure seems fine and should not get nerfed in any way.
