IDK about you guys but honestly I'm just hoping soraka gets nerfed

She is literally one of the most broken champions in the game right now, the only skill she has that isn't completely broken is her q. An instant aoe silence that turns into a root is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen, even more op than her old one. W is absolutely retarded with its <2s cooldown and good health. Her ult removes grievous wounds for whatever reason, otherwise it can still be balanced. Her passive while comical is completely annoying to deal with. This champion should not exist in her current state and should just be nerfed until shes unplayable

EDIT: My 2 most recent Soraka games: https://gyazo.com/e0ca832184b0127dd6f61e4bfb12ec7d https://gyazo.com/63edb7a35ab68bdbaf3674ee3040f710

In the first game we gave a first blood double kill and in the second the jinx was dc'd for about 5-6 minutes at the start

EDIT2: picked soraka against a team that should dick on soraka, I'll let you know how it goes

EDIT3: We won

Given that she gives up pretty much everything to be good at 1 thing. Shed damn well better be overpowered at that one thing

Her E is probably the easiest zone ability to move out of or avoid unless you are already CC'd (and it doesn't even silence properly when someone enters after the cast), and to cast W she deals massive damage to herself that cannot be mitigated. She can't even build HP because it'll take a bigger chunk for the same result. She's literally her own worst enemy. Any assassin excels at taking her out and she has no relevant way to peel them off. (some say "get Warmog's", but she needs 3k health before it does anything. On a support budget, the game is usually over before that, and until then she has a ton of worthless stats)

Why is she good? Because people run tank comps and don't pick anything to jump to the back line, or they simply ignore her when they do.

TL;DR - Assassinate her instead of wondering why your poke comp isn't effective.

I hate how Rengar uses me as a stepping stone to get to my adc. Ult, jump-kill raka, bind adc, kill adc, go read newspaper while they respawn.

Rengars are all old-fashioned with their "Back in my day heart of the forest and I once saw a King Rammus." blah blah I hate you.

I'm sorry but Soraka being OP, is like saying Riven is incapable of getting Pentas. Absolute hog-wash. Soraka's my most played Support right now, and I find her kit WOEFULLY lacking. Her only functioning sustain is a skillshot that needs to hit a target, which has a SLOW missile speed when far. Her heals take from her health, so if you have a bad teammate, expect to be sitting at low health soon or them to be dead likely. Then the Equinox (E) AoE silence you complain about. Learn to move and it's harmless in most situations. Doesn't even do anything against champs like Shyvana or Pantheon , or even Udyr at that. Most of their moves have either very fast action times, are point and click, or are AA focused, which renders the silence useless.

If you're having trouble you're not playing right. That E is just basically keep away tactics that are easy to counter. It doesn't even slow. Last but not least is her durability, which is safe to say, makes Fiora look like a tank. Worst in all fronts even with defensive items built up.
