Soraka was dead the moment they made ignite both uncleansable and cut healing in half.

QSS is such a massive piece of **** it's barely worth mentioning. 700 gold for a bad old cleanse on a 105 second cooldown? Forget it.

The only one of these in LoL is Soraka.

Now, I understand that her heals origionally where too much, but they pushed it too far. I personally don't believe she needs a remake.....


I'm not saying she's Underpowered Per-se, but she's definitely underwhelming.

I've said this before.

Tarics heals got nerfed, He still has a stun and a damage buff

Janna's ult heal is now being nerfed, She still has a pushback, a slowdown, and a shield

Nidalee's heal got nerfed, She still has fairly high healing(that can actually get way higher than soraka's, excluding soraka's ult) and the utility of an attack speed buff, while still contributing large amounts of damage to the team.



Soraka's heals got nerfed....She still has a high cooldown silence....but thats not really enough now is it?

Riots excuse for this is that healers aren't "fun" because no one likes "Losing kills" Tough Riot, you put a healer in the game. Do you know what the job of the healer is? Do you Really know what it is?

There's a lot of things that aren't fun, personally, this is one of the least limiting fun factors in my mind.



TL;DR : Soraka is still viable in some scenarios, but lack luster, A healer is meant to heal. Soraka needs some love.
