Soraka + Warmogs on ARAM needs to be addressed

Soraka + item 3083 on ARAM is so strong. Too strong. Oppressively strong.

Take a look at this game.

Our Leona DCed for a solid 15 minutes in the middle of the game which left us clinging to hold on. We could win fights but it was impossible to push being down a person. Literally the only reason we were able to hold on until Leona reconnected was that Soraka had 3k+ hp and a Warmogs.

You could say that doing 81k damage on Vel'koz in 30 minutes is why we held on, but I am telling you a huge reason I was able to put out so much damage is because Soraka was spamming heals on me while regening her health back. I could go in for aggressive trades where I would chunk a carry hard, get chunked back, then just back off and be healed to full. The enemy had no way of recovering, so I could just whittle away at them for free.

It comes down to Soraka + Warmogs on ARAM is just flat out busted. The game mode is designed around managing your resources. Soraka + Warmogs completely shatters that concept. Its pretty much infinite healing and is completely unfair in ARAM. If you knock anyone down to 1 HP and they retreat, they are back to full in no time. I can tolerate Warmogs on ARAM as long as its only affecting the person who bought it. However, on Soraka she can spread the one source of HP regen to the entire team.

The worst part is that Soraka healing doesnt count as being in combat so it doesnt even break the Warmogs passive. Soraka can be behind her team and until she is directly hit by something, the Warmogs keeps ticking away while she spams out heals.

What can be done to fix this? Honestly I just dont think Warmogs has a place on ARAM. The regen is just way too much and way too fast for this specific game mode

Tbh you still are gated by mana costs and it takes a butt load of gold investment to get the passive- I'd say it's fine

No, what needs to be fixed is Roa+Rylai's.

Both give mages far too much HP/AP in combination. Its not just Soraka either.

A full tank Soraka is balanced because the heals aren't stellar.

An AP Soraka that just builds Warmog's+RoA+Rylai's is broken because they're still significant heals and she easily reaches the 3k HP threshold.


I'd say gut her ratios and have her work on %ally HP; great returns below 50%, very significantly diminished above 50%.

Make it so she absolutely sucks at topping people off, but makes a great in-combat healer. Currently, she counters poke, engage comps, and pick comps unless played very poorly.

lol none of this needs to be fixed because the game is not and should not be balanced around aram
