Yeah, Soraka rocks, but it's hard to earn money when you don't get kills.

Yeah, those are two things that have been bothering me from the time I started to use her.

In one hand, I save my team mates a lot of times and they also get kills, but not even an assist comes for me. For that reason, most of the time I feel like the money I spend on Meijar's Soulstealer is wasted. I mean, if i could get the assist, i could get at least twice the stacks i'm getting right now. And so, when you see my statics, it looks like I've been playing awfull.

And in the other hand, the money issue. Soraka wasn't made to kill (I got used to it), so you get a very low ammount of money, and that delays your build making a lot. And worst, if the game becomes long, I get the feeling that I'm useless because everybody has huge amounts of life, or they do such big damage in a short time that when I cast Astral Blessing, it heals such bit of their health bars.
To solve this problem, I use Starcall on minions to kill them all and get the money, but the truth is that this skill sucks like hell. At level 18, with Zhonya's Ring, I can't manage to kill them in one hit. And why do I have to get SOOO close to cast it? Sounds like a joke...

I think that buying items that give you money per second would help, but I tried it sometimes and I'm still not convinced with how it works.


I think that healing others' life and mana should give small ammounts of gold, and specially, exp. I'm getting tired of being always so low leveled compared to the rest of the 9 players, because the only way of getting exp is killing.

She is support character. If you have noone to support (your master Yi ****** which get livesteal as first item on lane, and towerdive at first level), you suck. If your lane partner (and team as whole) at least know what he is doing, you will rock. Thats simple.

Both!

The normal heal was buffed rather well, the ultimate heal either needs to be completely global or scale alot better with AP and be 1000 range, the silence is superb, the power return is superb, the AoE damage/debuff is moderately useful, the passive is 'meh'.

Overall Soraka takes a beating into being a weak, while still increasing the effective health of every teammate, pick against health reduction stacking teams. Against teams that don't pick champions with the ability, or build Executioner's Calling, Soraka can lead to an early win through perma-pushes or a late game win through near doubling the effective health of her teammates.

i find her fun to play although money is tight, buts its all good. i use Q to KS from my team lol, i mean they are fed enough >_>, i need money to buy items to help counter executioner's calling

You can use infuse to farm minions.

Btw, she's strong if you lane with someone competent. If partnering with Soraka, you'll have an easier time with health and mana.

She's purely support, and that is your role. You don't get ganks or anything.
