Then you try to hold lane and your ADC yells at you for csing
Lol, I love it when ADC's get angry at you for taking CS when they are gone and your tower was about to kill the minion anyway.
I had a friend I introduced to League, and he "mained" soraka and "supported" with her, and kept taking the creep with the excuse "Well if they arent going to take that creep fast enough, I will"
He bought 
That's actually a solid excuse. There are times when early game ADC doesn't have enough AS to last hit every single minion.
1: HE BOUGHT
2: Most ADCs I end up with are pretty good at csing, they are just fucking up because Soraka keeps auto attacking the minions.
Also, he wouldn't heal them because he said "I wont give up my life for someone I don't even know"
Okay, last post I do on this, because I don't want to start a war with you 1:The ADC WOULD get the creep if the support wasn't trying to kill it by last hitting it 2:Refer to above ^^^. I guess it was my fault for not specifying but yea, he TRIED to take them, and that meant trying to widdle them down with support's AA attacks, and while they don't do much, they still do enough to fuck up a wave.
I don't understand why you got downvoted...I understand that it doesn't happen much in lower rankings like my own, but every time I watch an LCS game and the support knows the adc won't get the last hit because they mistimed, they just take it for themselves. I mean, it's not like the minions are going to do anything with that cs.
I said that support is eligible to take CS in some cases. Of course mad ADC mains will downvote me. :P
When I play Sona support, I make sure I don't take any CS while they are in lane, but the second they leave I am killing everything. Also, I get a lot of First Bloods/Double kills as Sona supp. Just to save my ADC from danger.
I farm the fk out of the lane when he isn't there. Screw him.
Then you try to hold lane and your ADC yells at you for csing
Are there really people who do that? That makes no sense!
Welcome to League of Legends Take a number :)
can sympathize.
Well, she can, but I usually just farm minions until my pard returns.
Soraka is terrible at farming as well lol. She is the most pure support of them all.
Soraka and Bard are the epitome of Supporting. Whenever I play them I have very few kills but TONS of assists!
O_O I must be epic with Sona then. I have managed a few kills with Sona and even soloed an aggressive
player.
Oh Sona is great. Her poke is amazing, and her heal is quite useful. Bot Lane APC with a long range AD support that keeps stealing her farm.
This is the correct answer. :)
I remember the old Soraka who could farm with Q for days. Those were good times.

ugh, try that shit with
and say
can't farm.
Janna can give herself an AD buff to farm though. :p
waveclears better than almost any support if you max Q first and have some AP js. :)
Granted she is bad at last hitting, but she is one of the best supports for wave clearing. Only Zyra/Morgana/Karma can clear fast.
You might not be playing Soraka right if you can't farm a wave with one q.
Then you get a kill and they congratulate your ADC...
you last hit? i dont get it. Its not like your base AD is any more or less compared to other mages. lol If you're one of those supps that spams aoes and misses cs I laugh at you because you're wasting mana.
The problem is that, unlike champions, minions expect the banana.
well her atk animation is about the same speed as the
rework and her atk speed is simultaneously very low.
I'm a lot more worried when playing soraka that my adc is going to ask me to freeze the lane in front of tower while he backs... you die soooooo fast and cant even shield yourself (janna/thresh/naut) or just just walk it off (ali). If I'm looking down even one person in my lane I'm terrified to try to freeze lane before tower as her lol.
Every single time.
Whenever I play Soraka or Lulu, I get an emotional attachment to my adc...
Soraka is so needy. She is one of the most powerful champion when near an ally, but little more than a glorified minion when alone.
For the most part.
It's why I tend to build tank on her, tbh. AP is fine and all (and I know how to position, mind you), but building tank gives me a little more independence. I'm no Vayne, people don't consider me important despite it literally hurts me when I heal them, I'm not going to get peels from the team's tanks.
People will focus me since I'm the healer, and I won't die as fast! :D and if I time my ult perfectly, people will get healed monster tons anyway without me building AP.
And then I build
to simultaneously BM the enemy team and contribute to teamfights/objectives with my own minions.
So basically a glorified minion spawning glorified minions.
I like
+
on her. You just enhance a minion and drop a portal, and now it is safe to roam mid or take a dragon. It is beautiful.
I love you.
Can you imagine a Sona/Nami+Soraka duo lane doing this tho? Soraka heals the empowered minions, Sona/Nami heals back the lost health.
This actually is a thing I've done. Taric + Soraka. The enemy botlane ragequit because of it. The laning phase is all about just making the enemy as useless as you are.
We must not have the same build, because when my adc leave I just hope he'll never come back and that this is my chance to 1v2 carry once more :D. I won a few 4v5 with my adc afk.
You're obviously playing
wrong if you aren't maxing Q first.
Soraka main for about 6 months, can confirm.
Idk....Sona, Janna, Taric, Braum, Leona are FAR worse off.
Here you go 5/2/25 last game and my adc was afk until I hit the level 13. I was a bit scared he'd steal my cs and give free kills. :P
AND I didnt even buy a sight stone :o
