Warmog's Soraka needs to die for the sake of AP Soraka

I think Soraka is a very fun high risk, high reward champion when she is built for AP. Riot themselves have also attempted to enforce this playstyle buy:

  • Giving her terrible base HP regen, which bonus HP regen scales off of, to discourage buying it
  • Requiring her to get in range to land Qs to sustain herself
  • Making W cost max HP to discourage health stacking, this also is intended to make her put serious thought into who and when she heals
  • Making Q heal a flat amount, also discouraging health stacking

The problem thing is that going for the Warmog's build makes her a lot safer as she is less prone to being isntantly blown up if she is caught out, and is less prone to even being out of position in the first place since she doesn't have to land Qs to keep herself healthy. Sure, she does this at the cost of least burst healing, but her healing ends up becoming more thoughtless and spammy since she can get all of it right back in seconds.

As a Soraka main I don't just want Tanky Warmog's Soraka nerfed, I want it fucking gone. I hate playing it because It's boring and not nearly as fun to play as AP Soraka. Making matters worse, Warmog's Soraka could get both builds nerfed. I don't like being just being a super Heimerdinger passive. I want to be the nega assassin.

Soraka has been sitting at offensively high winrates for the longest time, I know the nerfs are coming, so I just wanted to get my thoughts out there.

i never did warmogs build. its just so unfun. and it doesnt really synergize, as the more health you get, the more your heal costs to heal. warmogs is just a good anti-poke item. the most fun build in my life for soraka has probably beenitem 3174 +item 3089 , especialyl at around mid game, when you get Q maxed/almost maxed. the healing becomes just too fun. but i stopped doing that build at around platinum, when people started abusing item 3123

I certainly wouldn't cry if Warmog's Soraka was gone.

Imo Warmongs-Sora needs to die mostly for the sake of warmongs. The hp-threshhold is mostly there to prevent champs like sora from abuseing it, but it also holds it back for many other champs that in the past used Warmogngs as the a single health item in bruiser builts, but now you need other health items to make warmongs worth it. Imo Warmongs needs to be melee only and get a different gateing on the sustain.
