Why is someone with more life steal then old vlad and more range then old ryze allowed to exsist in a game where you say sustain is anti-fun?

because she is considered weak atm, i mean you can just completely shit on a soraka good or not. or maybe i just haven't met a good soraka

Soraka isn't weak at all. Her AOE silence field is ridiculously strong if correctly used, and is an easy snare if followed up by a slow. Also her heals in team fights are nothing to overlook.

Ya nice argument. Be a shame if her hard counter was people that can move (edit: which it is).

I think you missed the part where she has more zone control then old Ryze with the inescapable instant aoe silence. It would make more sense if it fell in line with say karmas or namis aoe cc and had some wind-up or a visual queue of some sort.

Except Soraka would be oppressive is her snare was guaranteed. Imagine Laning against someone who could consistently have a 1.5 second silence which transforms into a 2 second snare. 3.5 seconds of CC. Soraka's strength shines in teamfights imo, she can consistently heal her W health cost with her Q, and her E is likely to stop the enemy AP in their tracks and probably snare them too.

I'm pretty sure you misinterpreted me.

I know her snare isn't guaranteed, and I don't think it should be either. I was saying that she can almost entirely be dodged, except the initial E damage is instant (Soraka has to straight up put it in the wrong spot, or misstime placing it where you'll be rooted as you walk into it).

You glanced over there part when it's a FLIPPING AoE SILENCE. I have only managed to actually root someone 10% of the time because people will move, but the other 90% of the time, I've completely ruined someone's engage/killing power just by forcing them to reposition, giving me and my lane partner ample time to reposition as well (generally away from danger.)

You can walk out of the secondary damage and the root...I didn't feel it was necessary to explain it word for word.

And to help you with the part where you only root someone 10% of the time, if you want the root to hit more often you need to place the zone where they are going to be. You miss out on the initial damage, but you get the advantage of making them walk into a root or making them walk the long way around.

She was made the dedicated healer. But she has to give up a lot of her own life to do so.

Sustain with no meaningful costs (mana only) is anti fun when it heals a lot.

Raka is not op if the opposing bot lane comprehends that they have to dodge frequently. I mean believe me, i go on mad win streaks as raka but thats only because the other bot lane doesnt dodge my q, fights in my silence (just because you auto adc doesnt mean get rooted), or tries poking my adc. With w maxed and them not dodging q its hella ez to heal adc to full and life steal back. cc Raka and she gets blown up.
