My idea of a (sorta) interesting way to heal
The problem Rito had with Soraka was that her style is not fun. Someone gets low, you give them health or mana with the click of a button. My idea is that the champion (Soraka or some future healer) first uses the ability on an ally champ (duh). Then the champ roots theirself and tethers to the target. So the idea is sort of like Karma's tether, but you're immobile. As they're tethered, the target gets healed an amount per second for a maximum amount of seconds. The tether could be broken if the ally moves too far away or the channel is interrupted, enabling counterplay. Perhaps if the full channel is allowed the two champs can get a move speed buff or something, since they're forced to wait out for the heal. Any thoughts?
