googlemasterOct 18, 201410 votes

over half my losses on soraka are from this. its ridiculous. its like, they think that no one was healing them while they face tank 3 people last fight and run in and die over and over and then blame the team.

or they think soraka is useless when they dive a screen away from their teammates and expect to come out alive because shes a healer.

"this is why soraka sucks, you dont bring anything to the game" tell me what fucking support is going to save you from a 4v1 when you arent even near the team.

Not trying to brag or nothing but I have yet to oose a match as Soraka. The health regen is a bit much to ask for though but seriously, I litter ally just sit in the bush and continuously heal even at low HP. My adc's don't like it but to me, I don't care. Its not me out there that's fighting. So I just heal up in the bush or Q my opponents.

I've done some clutch plays like this, though. It feels good when the enemy can't choose their target because focusing either means certain death.

Play ad Soraka and buy item 3146 item 3124 item 3072 item 3065 . You can heal as much as you want.

It's true. People are insanely reckless when they have insane heals behind them...but then they keep going when you're at 5% health and they keep playing that way :(

WEEOOO WEOOO WEOOO WEOOOOOOOOOOOOO Soraka

MannysmokerOct 18, 20142 votes

as Soraka Simple buy 2 item 3083 and case done. some cdr and any defense. and spam that W , like ur life depent of it. ( which in this case truly is).

Uh, what the heck? Buying two warmogs makes her W hurt you like nothing you've ever seen. It costs 10% MAX health, not current health. Those two warmogs mean each W costs 200 more hp to cast, and getting roughly 25 hp5 definitely is NOT worth the insane increase in health cost.

Season 9 AmumuOct 18, 20142 votes

yes but your regen is also incredibly high

junglerboy16Oct 19, 20144 votes

Their regen passives don't stack, so your regen is actually pretty awful for the amount of increased health her W costs. You would get just about as much regen from a SV right now, and the hp costs are lower, while also buffing your Q's self heal.

Season 9 AmumuOct 25, 20141 votes

no but its regen is based on max hp

junglerboy16Oct 27, 20141 votes

that doesn't matter, 1% every five seconds if you built two will give you only around 7-8 hp per second (3500-4000 hp), but it will make your heal cost 200 more health. The percent regen is not near as powerful as you seem to think.

Wow, 2 Warmog's?! Now I can spend 400 health whenever I heal instead of 200! Thanks Obama! item 3070 Soraka

wouldn't item 3065 item 3083 be better? you heal more off of warmog's (pretty sure the 1% regen doesn't stack), your magic resist goes up, cooldowns go down, you heal more off of starfall too.

yes, this would be a much better idea than buying two warmogs. i wouldn't consider warmogs a good item to buy on soraka and it has nothing to do with the extra health cost on W.

buying health on soraka isn't bad, but, you need to temper it with AP. straight health is bad, but health with AP is ideal. for example, if you have 2.5k health on soraka, it costs 250 health to use your W. with 2k, its 200. you can heal 3 times with 2.5k health and have equivalent to if you only had 2k max... but you'll also heal more from the starcall passive because you're lower health. i wouldn't consider getting warmogs on soraka, however, because it doesn't give her any stats she needs. SV is fine. an ideal health item on soraka is RoA or Rylais.

Her W costs a % of max health, it wouldn't matter how much health you build, what matters if how much you can spam your Q (on champions) for the heal, and how much alternate sustain you have like crazy life steal, or something. The other thing is if you build a good amount of AP you can heal more per Q hit, and if you build bulk you take less from your opponents poke. You need to build SO much on the new Soraka or play SO carefully to get her to work

So is the new raka all about staying as low max hp as possible and stacking life regen (Life per 5 seconds)? < Legit question.

Because I laugh when I read people arguing whether more hp is still worth it or not and yet they forget that while more hp does mean more health cost and also more survivability in a team fight... they are not counting life per 5. (I would never reccoming a LP5 build buuuuut raka with low max hp and high LP5 is pretty funny now).

Flat life regeneration per second with lower max hp > Higher max hp with % health costs (even if they are visage or warmogs).

A raka with 12 life per second at 1k hp which is possible (costs 100 health to heal and you regain that 100 health in 8.33 seconds) should be able to heal more times than the same raka with a warmogs (2k hp and 12 + 4 health per second with warmogs so you would be paying 200 hp and at 16 hps you would take 12.5 seconds to regain that W cast cost).

I know this wouldn't be viable but I am just trying to show that even if you build warmogs you are still losing in the long run because of how much longer it takes to heal back up the amount you payed for W with just flat regen and even when counting warmogs boost (I am sure if you include visage you may get the same results or perhaps better synergy).

However if we are talking about Raka that doesn't want to buy flat Health regeneration then warmogs at lvl 18 (and perhaps many other levels) is indeed worth it for the 1% life regeneration per 5.

TLDR: Don't buy warmogs buy Life Per 5 that grants as little health as possible and maybe a visage.
