Easy LP - Carry as Soraka!

This visually primitive guide is for carrying your team as a highly mobile hyper-healing unit. You will easily heal 25 - 70K depending on match length. You will deal **"insane"**damage, sometimes... its over 9000! More importantly, you will win much more often than not in the Bronze/Silver/Gold circuit. Feel free to comment.

Masteries: Cunning - 18 / Resolve - 12 (Runic Armor and Perseverance from the Resolve Tree)

Runes: Soraka benefits from **only ** 5 stats: --AP , --Mana Regen , --Health Regen, --Armor, --Magic Resistance. (Giving Hit Points to Soraka only dilutes her health regen, which means less heals, and should be avoided except for Sightstone and situations where Aegis is necessary. My personal preference is 21 AP , 12 Armor , 1.7 Health regen , 2.4 Mana regen with my runes, but for those new to 'Raka I suggest less AP for more Health-regen.)

Skills: Get W first and use it to give your jungler some love. Help your ADC auto-attack the first wave of minions down. Level 2 get Q. Level 3 get E. From there on out max W putting extra points into Q or E as preferred.

Items: Ancient Coin into Nomad's Medallion - starter boots - Sightstone. (First back at 800 gold unless you get some assists then wait til 6.)
-----Note----- Soraka's healing game starts strong and slowly fades until 6. Even at 6 it can be tough until the Ardent Censor comes in. Final Build: Talisman of Ascension / Mobi-boots / Ardent Censor / Morello's / Zz-rot Portal -----Note----- The Zz-rot Portal prevents getting 100-0'd - good defense without further adding to the health-pool.

Tips:

1.) An ADC keeps a specific distance away from his enemies and fires from range. Soraka stays a distance further back yet from the ADC (just within experience range of minion kills is my preferred zone) dropping Starcalls from safety and healing when necessary. 2.) Save E. When being ganked use it to zone away the enemy or root them to buy time for the escape. Should your ADC ever get trounced on in lane you can drop it on the enemies to give him the breathing room necessary to back off and get healed. Do not poke with this ability. 3.) Save your ultimate for clutch heals. It heals big. However, on occasion your team may be poised to smash a group of enemies but your too far away to cash in on the assists. Using your ultimate on them during the clash will grant you the assists from far far away. 4.) Until Zz-Rot Portal gets purchased, Soraka can be 100-0'd by: everything. Stay on the outer fringes and use the fact that its oh so hard to resist the greed when it comes to trying to destroy Soraka. I have orchestrated many a master bait by being in sight but always out of range.

Thanks for reading...for those to decided to! Hopefully my wisdom from 112K Mastery Points as Soraka is of some assistance.
