Saying you can't buy HP because your W cost % of health, is not an excuse.. Exemple: You have 1000 HP. Your W cost is 10% of your max HP so it mean , 100 HP for 1 W use, W can't be used under 10% of Soraka Max Health , so it mean you can use it 9 time before be low HP. However, if we take for exemple, 3000 HP Soraka, the 10% Health cost will go at 300 . The thing people don't get is this, at 1000 or 3000 or whatever the HP you have, the number of use of W you can do remain the same( this is in perfect condition wich mean, you don't get attacked or received damage in the course !) and you will only cast W 9 time before you can't anymore, so why people prefer to remain low HP and pretty 'squishy' instead of being tons of HP/HP regeneration, to make the fight last longer as you recover your HP passively ! Let's say Soraka, got Warmog, Spirit Visage, and something else recovering HP, conbined with talisman of ascension, her HP regen is pretty huge, so when she get low she retreat a small amount of time to go back to full and just continue to support her teamate ! So stop with the excuse of no buying HP on Soraka, it make no change at all. It even make you more an easy target as much the game goes on and you will most likely die on every teamfight so your utility will go to great to useless.

HP regen is where it's all at. item 3069 item 2053 item 3027 item 3083

more regen = more heal = more win.

Simple.

You are gimping your abilities if you do this.

I would never buy both Spirit and Warmogs on Raka. Currently, I build neither.

Because, the amount of HP you regain from landing Qs is a flat amount, so you're recovering less hp per Q landing if you have higher HP values. (% wise)

I am a Soraka player myself, i'm not insulting anyone playing Soraka, i just feel the '' I can't buy HP'' not justified.

It also depends on what you need as a team too. The laning phase is one thing, but late game is another. You might not need to play defensive in laning phase and more aggressive once the team fights happen. People will always complain, nothing will ever change that. Just play the way you are accustomed to. Some builds work for some of us and not others (just how the game is). Also, pretty sure W scales the amount of HP you get back from using a Q. In a late game scenario I've seen a raka Q just 2 champs and leech half of her health back if not more. It can definitely be done, but it takes a lot of tact to do. Most enemies are very aware of raka and what she brings to the table. I personally focus her hard if I'm playing against her and it all comes down to the right opportunity for both raka and the enemy.

It's really a matter of having the safety to go an AP heavy build for strong heals. If the enemy has some strong assassins and mid laners, you are likely to not be able to survive to get a lot of heals off if you get dove by one of them. I'd say a mix of tankiness and AP is the best thing to do.

Spellthief's grants less gold over time and has little synergy with Raka, unless she's living on the edge. Get it?

There. That pretty much sums up all of my raka games. I bet you see a pattern. :P (Zz'rot grants 150% regen, talisman 100%.)

item 3152 =No problems with HP cost.

Sounds to me like those individuals do not know how to play her properly. Any good Soraka player can easily get HP back from her Q. As far as the build path goes......there are many, but it should suit your play style. If used properly, she is a complete beast! Although this build would not be ideal for SR, in ARAM I like to go ROA and Warmogs then into flat AP. Once you have 10 stacks on ROA, your HP is usually above 3k and the WM passive kicks in. If you have not tried this before in ARAM, i highly suggest it because your sustain is insane! :D
