Suggested Soraka Nerf

Hey guys and Riot,

What I will propose today is a balancing of this champion: Soraka Soraka

I was just thinking of a way to balance Soraka, and I think that I have a plausible solution. Instead of nerfing her heal (w or r), which are her cornerstone abilities, you could add a stacking resistance reduction (namely to the w, I dunno about the r). If you are healed my Soraka, you get hp, but you lose Example: 2/4/6/8/10 armor + X amount of MR per heal which stacks (infinitely for example), or I was thinking of a cap of 5 times or something, for something like 5 seconds. With this, Soraka lanes would not be able to fight relentlessly like the currently do.

The suggested change would make a lane where the incredible sustain would still be, but Soraka would have to be more careful with how many times she is healing and fighting, because although they are staying alive health-wise, they are increasingly putting themselves at risk for a turn-around from the enemy lane. What is key: THEY WOULD NOT WANT TO FIGHT IMMEDIATELY AFTER BEING HEALED, OR WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF HEALING, and I think that is key.

Thanks for reading my proposal,

-Junkyard

TLDR: Stacking resistance reduction on Raka heals that last for ~5 seconds.

you would kill her! in a team fight where EVERY heal you do is game changeing healing someone once reducing their armor will make them die faster than if u didnt heal them at all

I've found that killing Soraka counters her healing very well.

I main Soraka, so all I can say, is that Raka is fine right now. She was nerfed already, and she is still a good champ to play. If you are struggling against Soraka, then play smart and focus on her instead of her ADC. Push too far in your bloodlust however, and Raka's ADC might kill you instead. The choice is yours.
