So... Soraka gets a harder nerf then Lee Sin?

Edit: I do like the downvotes with noone arguing why Soraka should get nerfed as hard as she did or why Leona/Blitz were untouched.

Am I missing something? Sona is considered "too good at trading" gets her scaling hit, her heal hit in both scale and mana.

Soraka has a LOSING win ratio, gets equinox, her only real defense, increased in cooldown by 6 seconds, her ad dropped "just cause it was high" and a range increase on the heal that HURTS her to use.

Lee sin is considered oppressive, gets an armor debuff, but his is STILL higher then what they did to Amumu, and his regen dropped marginally.

Am I missing something here?

Fine Sona I "might" give you except you nerfed her heal in pretty much all but when they are fully healed which you shouldn't be using it then anyway, and you hurt her offense as well. But Soraka? I want to HEAR the justification for her getting hit harder then Lee Sin. When a vast majority of the player base wants him nerfed JUST so we don't have to see him in a third of the games for a fourth season straight.

Not to mention Amumu, who got a damage, and a defense drop when he is already a "pray you live till level 6" jungler when COUNTERJUNGLING IS SUPPOSE TO BE BETTER.

What am I missing here? Where is the Lucian nerf so I stop seeing HIM for another season every freaking game?

What about Blitz and Leona with their 25% pick rates and 52% win rates?

Soraka's main thing, her healing, got a small buff so I'm happy with this even though the offense will be missed.

But look on the bright side, a Lee Sin nerf is a Lee Sin nerf. Maybe I can stop seeing his Thumb looking self every game e.e

Meanwhile Taric gets his MP5 nearly halved.

I'd be fine with this if they stopped making her heal a transfusion and made it an actual heal. As is, her E was already on an insanely high cooldown and frankly needed buffed, not nerfed. This is ridiculous Riot. It's like you want to make her completely unviable.

I really do like that they increased her healing range but I am also miffed at the nerf to her Equinox. almost 1/2 a minute at rank one, geezus. This is still the preseasons though so if this does end up hurting more than it helps everyones favorite goat, it won't be hard to do some tweaking to remedy the problem.

I like it. I don't think Equinox is something that should be spammed, and the cooldown at max level isn't much higher anyway. The increase in healing range is essential to her playstyle of a healer, and I play Soraka for a healer, not a CC bot.
