Warmogs Soraka on Howling Abyss is unbeatable.

So I just played a game against a Soraka who bought warmogs which generally isn't fun to deal with but most people will play her using her q and e. This soraka I just played against literally never once stepped close enough to our team for us to have vision of her. Once she had warmogs she never used her Q or E and just stood in the back virtually giving her entire team warmogs while still avoiding even being seen by our team let alone attacked. She was so far back nobody could get her warmogs to turn off (for 8 measly seconds). I think Soraka's W should cause her warmogs to reset. Her kit was designed to use her Q but you don't even need it and in howling abyss it's just too easy to avoid the enemy team.

Soraka is nearly useless until she hits 3k health if she rushes Warmog's. All the extra health actually hurts her until Warmog's Heart can become active. You're nearly playing a 5v4 until then, so if you didn't win before that point you probably weren't going to win if she built normally. (with what she built, she wouldn't have that health until around level 14)

It's not that difficult for a team 4v5 to clear minion waves for 10 minutes. we got 1 tower but it really didnt take her long to get there. You can't pressure turrets 4v5 unless you tower dive but that doesn't usually work well at level 3 and she would still heal everyone and get an assist on nearly every kill. I promise if you had played the game I played you would understand how easy it is to hold off some minion waves until raka gets 3k health.

Yeah op, Soraka + item 3083 + item 3116 and or item 3027 completely breaks the game mode. To be honest Riot needs to look at removing or altering the way warmogs perform in Aram. Not that those items are not broken on Soraka on SR (they are), they are just a good deal harder to get to after building item 2049 item 3158 item 3050 item 3069.

Yeah, it's kinda funny (read = not funny at all) how Rito James™ removed Warmog's because "LOL HP SUSTAIN OP IN ARAM". Only to reintroduce it (after everybody was accustomed to it being gone), and --** "LOL HP SUSTAIN OP IN ARAM"** again. Just extra funny (read = LOL funny) that the abuse-case for Warmog's is Soraka (after Rito James™ decided Soraka's unlimited healing, pre-work, was OP).

All because Rito James™ can't be bothered to provide real support for ARAM. If Rito James™ wants to bring some form of HP sustain to ARAM, they could introduce Overlord's Bloodmail from Twisted Treeline (and remove Warmog's ... again).

I dont think things should be balanced arround ARAM, since its just fun mode, and there is little chance u gonna play vs soraka often.

I play more ARAM than I do norms and I have plenty of friends who prefer it as well. Just because you don't play it as often doesn't mean other people don't consider it their favorite game mode.

warmhogs doesn't activate until you have 3k hp thou.... You would be playing a 4v5 game until she gets that amount of HP and will actually hurt her early since she heals based on %of own max hp

Do you know how easy it is for 4 people to clear 1 wave of minions? It's not like you can push a tower if they just play safe enough.
