Soraka's Equinox and the Jungle.
Hi there :) This is my first post on the boards but I've been thinking a lot about it and was hoping to get some opinions from other Soraka players.
So basically I play a lot of Soraka; support, mid, top, I love it all. I feel she is a very strong champion that can be useful while being built in a variety of ways. However, while I love the idea of a Soraka ambulance jungle, actually getting it to work is a bit more difficult. Soraka just doesn't have short enough cooldowns or high enough base ad to be able to clear the jungle effectively. Anyways, I feel like if Soraka's equinox could affect jungle monsters it would give her a lot more clearing power in the jungle. The slow on q combined with the snare on the equinox could allow you to kite the jungle camps briefly without taking damage long enough for you to wear them down, not to mention the hefty cooldown prevents it from being spammed more than once per camp. I just feel equinox affecting jungle camps doesn't really hurt the game in any way since she doesn't heal with equinox and jungle monsters can't be silenced to my knowledge.
I feel like the only reason equinox only affects champions was to prevent Soraka from having good clearing power in a solo lane and to not take cs while being able to poke and apply zoning pressure bot lane. Obviously Soraka is not a preferred jungle choice, but she can be very useful and a lot of fun to play using her passive to zoom into a hurting lane and save people with her banana infused star powers.
I'd love to hear other people's opinions, do you think equinox being able to hurt jungle monsters would hurt the game? Do you think she should be able to hurt monsters and minions (yes please). And thank you to those who took the time to read my post :D
