It can be a chore when people are running away from you when you try to heal them. Slow down!

It's scary how often it happens. Is it because the heal isn't flashy enough or?

I had a adc go 1 / 8 / 0, and he blamed me entirely for it when I was 0 / 2 / 3 when lane ended. He acted like I was supposed to be capable of keeping him alive eternally at all periods of time.

A couple of days ago, our jung went ham and died.

"Soraka, why no ult to save me? I could've gotten a triple"

"Uhhh, I'm still dead"

After the next nerf that's coming up, you won't have to worry about that, because nobody will play her. I love it, rework her and give her 1 sec cd heal and then nerf her every patch until she's unplayable. Who thought 1 sec heal would be toxic to play against.

Old starcall? ... Really?

Jumping into a skirmish as tank Soraka and shredding everyone's MR at the same time? ABSOLUTELY

That kit was awful.

Pandemic PunchMar 17, 20162 votes

No. In fact, it was so strong that they had to nerf her numbers to nothing to take her out of the solo lane. Even with these huge nerfs, she was still REALLLLY strong when built as a tank due to the skirmishing power.

I didn't say it was weak (although it was often weak) I said it was awful Because skirmish tank soraka is an awful experience and we are better off with it gone. And her old kit was impossible to balance for a viable and fun healing experience in the bot lane without bringing back the completely awful solo lane tank soraka.

They're nerfing her? I feel like she's in a good spot at the moment :O

The rejuvenation shit won't heal you during 3 seconds, it will heal you AFTER 3 seconds. Basically, you die if someone looks at you. Dumbest nerf ever.

That's the stupidest shit I've ever heard. First they made her harm herself to heal others, then they took away the self-heal in favor of a HoT (which since you can grant it to allies, I didn't mind that as much), and now this? More and more Tank Soraka is becoming the only viable build.

To be fair if you built AP tank into Warmogs you just won the game afterwards. Her entire kit is a little overpowered and she is just super annoying to deal with in lane because she erases any pressure you might create while creating tons of pressure due to her heal and regeneration capabilities.

But no credit when you do save their ass.

THIS IS SO TRUE OMF (I do it anyways, even if it's Master Yi in his heal or Mundo in his ult XD)

As a player who has a considerable proportion of my games in Soraka I can say this happens every now and then. You always will get the 1 person who you are spam healing, who still dies. who then goes "why no heals?" And your response is. "I healed you. Be grateful you got anything and stop blaming others for your own failure. Remember you came from nothing. Before I found you, you were dirt, worthless, terrible. Everything you have achieved was a gift from me. Without me you are nothing. Your disrespect is noted. You have forever lost my favor. I will find another worth my attention."

In all seriousness though. I see two camps. 1. Is the terrible ADC who usually like an Ezreal who has some sort of false perception of their skill. They usually come with a god complex. Anyway they are terrible and enjoy rushing blue Ezreal. Going straight for the tear, and then they enjoy going for trades with an BF sword Cait / Lucien and then they QQ when they eventually die when the enemy team goes in. They always say something like "WTF Soraka learn to heal." Completely either oblivious or so full of themselves that they don't realize you were healing them the entire time and the only reason they didn't die 8 min ago was you wasting your entire health pool healing a terrible player.

The second one I see is someone who gets fed. They eyes get much bigger than their mouth and they keep going into fights at a numbers disadvantage over and over because you are healing them. Then when they inevitably die. It's always "Soraka heal?"

Just all the kids out there. People who are incapable of accepting the fact that they are responsible for their own fate. Ha. Just like in real life. People are always in the situation they are in because of someone else. If things don't work out the way people hope our first instinct is to always blame someone else. It could never be any sort of shortcoming on our own part. That's for sure.

That's why i don't play soraka support, I fully just play soraka lane now after the buffs not focusing on healing people but to disorient the enemy team.

rescuedMar 18, 20161 votes

Whole team is asking you to heal them but they either are too far/ cool downs / mana / etc. If you don't heal them all in that second you are immediately a bad raka D:

I've even had times where teams are yelling at me to heal while I'm dead ... -face palm-
