I get so frustrated fighting Nami or Soraka in lane. Im really sick of overly powerful heals

i Feel like theres absolutely no point. You just have to wait for a gank to make it a 3v2.

Disregarding blitzcrank, it feels as if my support gets punished for landing something on the adc or support if the enemy support is nami or soraka. I feel like its extremely unfair that warlords bloodlust was nerfed because you had no risk in lane with infinite sustain. Yet soraka and Nami continue to plague bot lane with these overly bearing heals.

For example. I just had a varus game where i went 2-0 in the first 5 minutes because of a nice level 2 gank. Everyone backed after a few minutes and i came back with some nice items about 50 AD over ashe.

I landed EXACTLY 6 Qs in about a minute and a half maybe less then that. I record my videos so i was able to check My qs were doing about 250

What happens? Nami heals for so damn much that ashe was full health within seconds. I figured nami would run out of mana? But No. She was around 60% throughout the whole laning phase.

Ashe was eating so much poke that it felt like i was fighting a legit bronze 5 adc that had no ADC experience whatsoever because how much poke she was taking. But nami is just sitting there healing everything. Not a single problem.

At one point i saw her heal do about 250? which was fucking crazy because it was still in laning phase.

I dont know man. but i feel like nami and soraka completely void any poke champ or any champ that actually lands a skillshot just is losing mana in the long run.

Soraka main saying hi. Poke me, not my ADC. It's pretty simple. I can't heal myself easily, and I can't heal my ADC if I have no health. If you dodge the Q's I can't restore my health outside of my ultimate.

That being said, I do understand why it's so aggravating to play against Soraka, but she actually has counterplay outside simply burning up her mana stores.

There must be some innacuracy somewhere in your post, because if Nami heals 6 x 250 health, she will be out of mana. If she still has 60% mana, then she did not heal 6 x 250 health. Also, her heal will do more if she has AP runes (obviously), and maybe she had mana regen runes. They aren't op in lane. Very easy to counter both. If you're worried about Soraka healing, don't poke the ADC down, poke Soraka. She can't heal herself as easily. As for Nami, imo she is very mana dependant and if you poke enough you will eventually render her useless until she goes back.

Who was your support that game? Teemo?

Rakas and Namis, and even Sonas can make laning extremely difficult in the sense of getting ahead KDA-wise. I really dislike an engage support that takes mobis before sightstone in these cases (Leona, Blitz, Thresh, Naut, even Morg)

As for ADCs, I dislike Dravens, Quinns, Lucians, good vaynes (required you know how to vayne to not just deal out-sustainable damage.) Really anything that can put out a substantial amount of damage in a short period of time. Understand that we are made to sustain, but it still takes some time. My level 5 raka heal recovers like 150 and has a 4~5 second cooldown. By the time I can cast it again, we needed to run away, you died, or one of us died. I need some time early on!

She probably runed and masteried for long sustain which meant she probably had 0 armor, health, or MR runes to prevent exploding quick.
