Looks like Riot's going to be giving raka another minor rework.

Honestly, I've given up on any chance of Raka ever being remotely viable as a champion. If she's strong, she's frustrating and people ban her just to not deal with her. If she's weak, people want raka buffs, to make her viable. And it's an endless cycle.

In a game where the focus on PvP is tantamount, Champions with the ability to literally stop death or prevent it are considered frustrating and OP.

Tahm's Devourer, Soraka's rapid fire heals, and a few other select abilities, all have lead to those champions getting nerfed, or banned so much just so people don't have to deal with them.

At this point, I'm ready to give up on ever being able to enjoy Soraka, and just pick Supports that have better utility and teamfight than Raka does. And only use Raka to be a niche counter to certain combo champs like Zed and Riven.
