soraka is now currently a tiny bit broken i mean not to be rude but YOU LITERALLY LET HER HEAL WORK WITH WINDSPEAKERS BLESSING why on earth is that a great idea when her heal is on a 1 second cool down allowing the person or people (if she uses her ult) to gain magic resist and armor for 15 socnds that mean the 1 person she is healing now cant die AND HAS GAINED more armor and magic resist like personally i like playing soraka but the fact that anyone she heals cant and wont die i just played a game where we would focus soraka AND STILL LOST due to her healing herself and the allies pealing for her we would fight Cassiopeia and she would lose half of her health and here comes soraka and literally with 2 or 3 heals brought her back to full health keep in mind this cass had around roughly around 3000 or 2800 hp under what circumstance okay im not like mad that i lost the game i just mad that soraka is allowed to bring tanks from half health or less back to full health in 3 to 4 seconds that is all i wanted to say but please think about this its super tilting and bad

Doesnt work buddy. Thats 40% on each not fucking 100%. Soraka healing 60% + because ardent censer and whatnot is way more than what exec can do

Nevertheless it still negates some healing. Enough for me to have no problem killing whomever the problem is. Be it Soraka, or her ADC.

Grievous Wounds is Grievous Wounds.

Even if Soraka does an extra 10% healing with GW applied, it is better than letting her being only able to heal a partial amount than the full amount.

She's always broken, her heals are either too strong or useless with no in between. A pure healer based champion is unhealthy regardless of balancing.

In league specifically. Healers work just fine in other games. It's because damage is also insanely high. In order for her healing to be meaningful in a fight, it needs to be absurdly high (like full heal in 4 seconds like current soraka, or burst heal for 40+% of the target's HP like old soraka), or have other benefits to it, because squishies kill each other nearly instantly.

The 50% healing reductions from Ignite, Morello's, and Executioner's only make the problems with healing vs damage in League of legends even worse, because in order for healing to remain relevant after being cut by 50%, it has to be way overpowered when it isn't being reduced.

It's reduced 40%. They changed grievous wounds a lot time ago. The question is since healing exists on other champions and that it is Soraka's primary niche, how do you balance Soraka without making her exceedingly strong at it or making her irrelevant as a pick due to the utility others possess.

It's not really about damage itself, even in past seasons Soraka had become a really strong pick. In fact she is so strong of a healer that you are forced to actually kill her first to have any sort of chance of winning the team fight.

I think riot knew this since beta that she's always be an issue in LOL.

The effectiveness of Soraka is highly determined at champion select. If your team lacks burst, she'll be problematic regardless of her team comp. If your team has burst, then she better have a team of AD/AP Bruisers with her. Contrary to your beliefs, Soraka can't outheal concentrated burst (especially on herself). I have played enough Soraka to know that she can't save a stunned ADC. If they aren't lifestealing with AA, they will get deleted. This also applies to glass cannon Fighters and Assassins that are relying on life steal for sustain. Glass cannon AP carries don't even have to be stunned to go down.

If you can kill it with one spell/skill rotation, Soraka can't save it. Especially if the target is poorly positioned. I've learned to not even try to save Cannons that force me into the front line.

On the other hand, if Soraka has allies of the Juggernaut/Battle Mage variety... well, she shouldn't lose that game if she minds her positioning. Give me a Darius top, Graves Bot, Ekko Jungle and Cho Mid and I can't imagine a Soraka losing with that team comp.
