Seriously now,what happened?

It was a really good concept and had the ability to gives allies mana.Will it still be made or did it got canceled?

I'd like to see this. I miss Soraka's ability to give allies mana and it's something that's never returned. But the reason we lost it was because Soraka's mana giver was also a powerful silence which, for a long time, was free.

Would probably be broken on Howling Abyss though.

I was really excited about the item when I first saw it.

The ability to restor mana is pretty unique and interesting and offers so much play potential,maybe just giving mana isn't really balanced espacailly on the HA,but maybe donating mana would be a more healthier approach. Scaling could be like 50+X% of your max mana. :))

That's what they did to Soraka back before they reworked her and removed her silence/mana-giving completely. It worked fine.

The point is that point-click CC abilites that last 3sec are toxic,that is way it was removed(like Fiddle's Q).

I just wish they'd taken away the silence and kept the mana sharing.

That would have been ˝un-healthy gameplay˝. Sitting in the backline healing with W,spamming Q to get HP back and using E to restore mana,she would just have been a walking mana/potion shop,now she is the league best healer with CC to make her viable in certain team comps and against some champions..

I'm not familiar with those items but things get removed and put back on, back and forth, frequently on the PBE especially due to things like new patches going live. So it's still possible it could be on.

But I kind of doubt it going all the way through Giving mana to allies was one of the things that got Soraka sent to sit at the table in the back with OIaf and Evelynn.

Raka's mana restoring ability was removed because it also was a point&click CC ability with a long duration.

It did have that, but you do notice that they specifically removed the mana giving part while keeping the silence and upping the CC potential, right?

Not that I am against the idea; the concept of Soraka be uniquely good at sustain was fine.

That is true,but her silence isn't a point and click ability anaymore and it doesn't last 3sec now.

I also like her new identity as a ˝blood donor˝ more than a ˝mana battery˝.

That's true,but AUG only restores mana to the user,while this item could restore mana to allies.

I'm not asking it to be rushed into the game,but if there is still a chance for it to ˝get it's place in the game˝.
