A banana won't peel itself tho. It requires something else to peel it. Just like Soraka.

Hey, i just thought of a buff for Soraka that should be accurate to her theme and still be a nice quality of life change:

Soraka's banana auto attacks are peeled bananas. But the peel is discarded at her feet, 5 peels can be on the ground and each lasts 2 minutes (they function like Cait and Nida traps). When an opponent steps on a peel, they get Dazed 4 seconds. Daze means the movement commands are reversed (Bananas are weird like that). When an ally steps on a peel, they get 1000% mS buff + a free trip to the Fountain.

Yeah but that made me giggle a bit though. :)

Other than replying to posts like these, can you guys address some of the issues that many summoners are expressing?(i.e. Dynamic Queue, balance, etc.)

SociopathFriendMar 31, 201615 votes

Right- just in case you don't know why you're downvoted (it can happen) it's because a Red isn't necessarily anyone involved with game design. Actually if you highlight their name it outright tells you what they do.

Also it's something of a faux pas to tell people off for enjoying a small joke in any case. Riot knows about the other threads. They will deal with them when and how they see fit.

I must wonder why Phreak never posts on the boards despite all of these threads.

She is such a banana that she IS the peel. She peels by getting the opponent to attack her instead.

Only Play DariusMar 30, 20165 votes

She's got a slow and an AOE silence/root. I wouldn't say she lacks peel.

ChoaruMar 30, 20163 votes

Her silence can easily be walked and her Q can be dodged pretty easily...

Take Janna, thresh, and alistar, they have multiple displacement/disengage skills. Soraka has peel, but it is sivirly lacking compared to real "peel" supports .3.

Only Play DariusMar 30, 20161 votes

Well aren't her heals considered peel? It prevents you from killing her ADC after all

ChoaruMar 30, 20161 votes

No? Well to you maybe? But to me heals are considered heals not peel. (basically would you consider the summoner spell "Heal" and peel skill?) Also if the enemy all ins you it is almost impossible to constantly heal your ADC at earlier levels because of the heals cool down.

For me peels is the ability keep the enemy off your teammate for long periods of time. Soraka doesn't offer this, that is why she works well with ADCs who can win long trades, graves coughs. .

AtanchanMar 30, 20161 votes

Heal does have a movement speed buff, so it can aid in peeling in ways other than healing.

ChoaruMar 30, 20161 votes

True. I dunno i just have a hard time peeling for my ADC when I play Raka, and they usually die when they try to all in the enemy :I like my heal is on cd bruh! Other ppl may see that she has peel, but i personally don't really enjoy rakas "peel" LOL

flibitydooMar 31, 20161 votes

how is your heal on CD, it has like a 1-4 second CD lol

FireboltMar 31, 20163 votes

Answered your own question :)

BoundaryBreakerMar 30, 20161 votes

Perhaps Soraka has something new... PEALS!!!!!

kaltenashesMar 31, 20161 votes

f she hits a q, she gets a mov speed that she can transfer to ally, its really easy to hit a q when enemy is chasing you, even her slow helps a bit

Edit: fk somebody already answered that

UltraFireFXMar 31, 20162 votes

Technically, peel is getting dangers off of your ADC/APC, like they are the banana and they are the... peel, Janna does this exceptionally well (Q and W slow them down, E protects when they do get on/near the carry, R gets them off and heals everyone)

SoMNiaMar 30, 20161 votes

Her silence can easily be walked and her Q can be dodged pretty easily...

They're ground-targeted. That means that if she puts them between you and your target, and you dodge...you just got peeled anyway, unless you flashed through, and oh yeah, that's an AoE silence, so good luck with that. Besides, her Q is only easy to dodge at max range. If she Q's you point blank and drops an E on her feet, you're not chasing.

MorsigilMar 30, 20163 votes

How excellent would it be if Equinox (Soraka's root) made the same noise when the root lands as they use in cartoons for characters slipping on banana peels?

This sound on Order of the Banana Raka It's even a public domain sound effect.

The peel is hidden inside the yellow star circle; it comes up at the end and trips anyone still inside.

Sounds effects rito pls

I hope he is, because he's also wrong about the grammer. The OP got it right.

Ayame IsakiMar 30, 20161 votes

His post history shows that he is in fact a troll. I was hoping he was just the latter half of the unfinished sentence.

B1naryB0tMar 30, 20161 votes

Assuming you're serious, "is" would be the correct choice because there's only 1 soraka. What you might be thinking of would be "Soraka players (plural) are ironic"

Then again, what does grammar have to do with an argument anyways?

Steel BlossomMar 30, 20161 votes

Who needs to peel when you cast a permanent Kayle ult on an ally of your choice?

Soraka how about i make like a banana and become a good source of potassium, then i can get a doctor to recommend that you EAT ME!

SoMNiaMar 30, 20161 votes

No peel? Not to ruin the joke, but if she places her E right, she can guarantee the root on anyone who's chasing, especially now that her Q slows all targets. And if they turn to walk around it, well, congrats, they're peeled.
