So Old Rakas heal was "toxic"

Sona's heal costs her an arm and a leg in mana early on. You use it twice, you're basically manaburned.

Plus the heal is a LOT weaker. You have to use the shield as well to make it cost effective.

Here, I have someone better.

Don't give them ideas!

30 base heal and 80 mana cost at rank 1, omg so op. Pretty much the only thing that makes it not shit is the shield.

Apples and oranges.

Just because one skin is thick doesn't mean the other needs to be peeled more.

sona heal: 100 fkn mana, was less healing, soraka heal: less mana (dont know exactly), 50 armor, 3x as much healing value..

Sona's heal is shit compared to Soraka's.

Sona's heal barely does anything. Even with a chalice it's like a waste of mana to just spam it too much. Soraka's heal did a lot and with the old chalice she had insane sustain so that as long as she survived an exchange, she basically won it, so no one wanted to play against her since they couldn't even really exchange a lot of the time. Although the old Soraka probably wouldn't even be a problem now with the mana regen nerfs.
