is it bannable to do pacifist soraka

it's bannable to play in such a manner that is intentionally not your best.

Do it in a team of friends who are okay with it. Or make absolutely sure all your teammates agree.

It should be. Without using Q you ain't going to be self healing much so you would be near worthless.

There was a Challenge made:

Pacifist Tryndamere, Split push without damaging Enemy champions. No one got banned for this.

If you want to do it, you can, but i suggest just not hurting champions only, but use your Q to help wave clear and never level your E.

It's abit harder cuz you also cant get redemption.

you loose out in so much healing and kiting without landing your Q into W....

I just want to add my 2 cents.

I play League of Legends since mid-2011 and ALWAYS was a support main. ( with my secondary role being a bad adc). I initially played Sona a lot before her rework, and then soraka. I ABSOLUTELY loved her, her healing, her mana giving. I just felt needed and usefull even though i was not that active in the combat itself (but not being pacifist). It requited A LOT of skill to time your silence (old E) to win teamfights, or to give mana to your teammates, and as healing had a higher CD, timing was important.

Since the rework though, (AND THE CHANGE IN SORAKA LORE !!!) i refuse to play soraka like she is intended to be played by riot. I always saw soraka as a nice goddess, coming to the world to do her best and aid people. The new soraka however, is a bitch. She is mean, she does damage, she kind of "leeches" from the damage she does. In short, not what i want soraka to be. So since the rework, i ONLY skill my W and R. And she is still my main support. I get flamed sometimes for this, but mostly, the response is positive, because i also have an altruistic playstyle, so it is not that i intentionally sabotage my team, or do them disadvantage. I think the opposite is true. Due to me focusing on the heailing ONLY, i have a very high healing throughput without having to worry about my mana, or my health, or getting into danger just to hit my Q.

Some people said they reported me, but i never got into trouble for it (i play normals only though and think ranked games should be for serious people only)

Bad is though, that you have to sacrifice percentual health of your own, so you HAVE to skill for life regen. Everything else WILL make you useless as a pacifist soraka. And riot nerfing sorakas base mana regen, health regen, highening her W in early levels shows that riot really does not like her at all. Which makes me sad :(

But my playstyle is a "protest" to all of this xD

I mean, if so many champions can just nuke your ass with spamming their abilities, why can't atleast 1 champ be very good at healing.

I don't think that it would be abused either, because a lot of people find this "passive" healing boring. So please riot if you read this, cater to some of the altruistic people too a little, not just the AP and Assasin crowd :c [sg-soraka]
