Soraka Self-Heal(Q) Question

Yulen Xoshxius··7 votes·2,195 views

So I understand it has to hit a champion to heal yourself and not just minions or regular monsters as then you could just heal yourself the whole time, but why is Soraka not allowed to heal herself for hitting epic monsters like Baron or Dragon? Would be nice if it worked for Large Monsters too, but shouldn't Epic Monsters be a minimum since you are more likely to need to heal yourself to continue healing others(or the AoE from Baron)?

If she could heal from Dragon, then if Soraka is playing from the blue side she could easily restore her health just by stepping into tri-bush and casting Starcall at dragon from there. Which not only makes blue side give her a ridiculous advantage over a red side Soraka, but it also defeats the purpose of dodging Starcall projectiles.

I'm fine with her recovering from Baron though, since she can't exactly abuse it.

I see, that is a good point!

I could agree with this, but when you get low on health you could do a drive by on dragon just to get a quick heal, so maybe it's not for the best

I can agree with that point.

Large & Epic monsters. I'm sure but wouldn't bring this jungle Soraka back? But on the other side, whe get our beloved Karthus counter back ^^

XD Or for people to try double jungle with a support to mess around.

That would make fighting dragon/baron a lot more satisfactory as Soraka indeed.

I feel like Sorakas would just walk up to dragon, cast their Q and walk off the moment they do. Rinse and repeat for constant healing.

Riot hates soraka so they aren't going to let her heal herself anymore than she already does.

Apparently spamming W and then running back to base is engaging gameplay.

They just doubled the Ap ratio on her self heal...

Late game she becomes immortal, as long as they don't put any hard CC on her, she is harder to kill than any Tank.

Honestly I would love soraka jungle! Sure it feels nice to play her support when u can heal ur adc from 0-100, but I played her jungle not too long ago and damn was she fun. First of all as long as u buy some wards early to make sure u wont get counter jungled and killed she has pretty good clear time early. Mid game you won't jungle much only gank a lot, but ur laners won't mind cus they're getting healed and their opponent is getting serious poke. Shes so fun to play as a jungler.

How do you sustain like that though? Also I didn't think her Q was that strong
