So Soraka is getting some changes on the PBE...

Starcall (Q) - Mana cost reduced to 40 at all ranks from 70/75/80/85/90 Cooldown lowered to 5 seconds from 7/6.5/6/5.5/5 seconds. All enemies hit are slowed rather than only those in center. Enemies in center no longer take 50% extra damage. [NEW MECHANIC] "If Starcall damages a champion, Soraka gains Rejuvenation for 4 seconds, which restores up to 10-22 (+10% AP) health per second and grants 15% movement speed when not moving toward enemy champions." Updated tooltip: "Calls down a star from Soraka to a target location. Enemies standing in the explosion radius take 70/110/150/190/230 (+.35 ) magic damage and are slowed by 30/35/40/45/50% for 2 seconds. If Starcall damages a champion Soraka gains Rejuvenation for 4 seconds, which restores 14/16/18/20/22 (+ 10% AP) health per second and grants 15% movement speed when not moving toward enemy champions."

Astral Infusion (W) - Heal value lowered to 80/110/140/170/200 from 120/150/180/210/240 [REMOVED] No longer heals Soraka on champion Q hit. [NEW MECHANIC] "If cast while affected by Rejuvenation, Soraka will grant her target its benefits for 3/3.5/4/4.5/5 seconds". Updated tooltip: "Restores 80/110/140/170/200 (+.6 AP ) health to another champion ally. If cast while affected by Rejuvenation, Soraka will grant her target its benefits for 3/3.5/4/4.5/5 seconds. Cannot be cast if Soraka is below 5% health."

congrats on killing the one true healer champ in the game... I know she's strong as a support but it all depends on her positionning, if she get caught, yes she can be deceptively tanky because of her heal when catching champs whit her q, but she is still vulnerable and a prime target for carries and assasins as she should be. these changes will just bring back soraka as a viable mid again because of that regen and drasticlly hurt her support role since the health cost will still be there and that regen doesnt seem to stack X number of champs hit. I'm not saying she doesnt deserves some nerf, but this may not be the way to go as your favoring her going damage output instead of heal or utility.

b-but non-engage tank supports who save you instead of murdering you are toxic and lack counterplay!!!

Riot needs to stop messing around and just revert Soraka already. It is the enemy team's job to kill me, not mine. Especially since she is going to be hated by the enemy either way, they can at least please us Soraka players.
