Hi. I've been maining Soraka for almost 5 seasons now, she's always been a champion I've enjoyed in terms of both gameplay and concept. It's been a bit difficult playing her in such a damage oriented meta, could she maybe get a buff to rejuvenation mid/late game? She loses a ton of health just healing her allies alone (rightfully so, I know), but her Q range is too short to restore health mid/late game, meaning she cannot even get close enough to hit it. This meta is all about mobility, burst, and who can kill who the fastest. Late game she doesn't restore enough from rejuvenate to be useful, it tends to be all about her silence and R. She already has the risk-reward factor, this would really just.. enhance it? Would be super awesome if she could get a rejuv (Q passive) buff mid to late game that way she can risk her position to rejuvenate some health because as of now it's guaranteed death.

No.

No Soraka buffs.

Champion is very abusive / oppressive early while scaling well.

The issue with Soraka is that her power is strictly related to the meta.

If it is a Damage focused meta, then her heals become significantly weaker (people focus on bursting their opponents while mostly playing squishy champions, making Soraka's heals less effective on them while having less time to counter burst).

A Tank focused meta makes her one of the strongest champions one can have (everyone focuses on DPS or Tankiness, making her heals more powerful while giving her time to heal multiple times the same target).

Overall, if she feels weak, it is because the damage increased significantly, making her job way more difficult. The question is if Riot eventually decides to lower Damage. If not, they should definitely take a look at Soraka.

Okay if you buff her lategame then nerf her abusive trades on early game.

It's not like she's weak overall, she can get a power shift but she shouldn't get a plain buff

They need to remove the initial damage from her E and move to the end of the spell. That would do a lot to neuter her irritating "Stand back and spam E" tactic.

Are you insane? Soraka is ridiculous right now. At every stage of the game. 13% fucking pickrate WITH 52% winrate.

Classic "I play so and so therefore they need a buff" logic. Soraka is fine. She does her job of sitting behind her carry spamming one spell over and over to buff already ridiculous health gain mechanics just like all enchanter supports.

If you're good at the game, raka is op af, if you suck at the game, every champ sucks for you. Raka is fine.
