But pushing is very bad in ranked games during the laning phase. It doesn't allow your jungler to gank, it makes you easy to gank for the enemy team and it makes it near impossible to stop the enemy from last hitting.

my problem isn't with spirit visage, which is fine, it is with the runes. Don't take runes that will be wasted if you know you will take spirit visage.

MP5 quint are not good either compared to flat HP, flat AP quints.

Running APless isn't that bad but its a big waste. Her skills have such a low CD that 45% is a really good ratio. (If star fall was 100% ratio she would pantakill all day long on AP.)

No probleme, me personaly I don't really care (I live in Quebec ffs swearing is ponctuation for me) but I know that many poeple take it seriously.

Thanks for the questions.

The reason why I use so many wards in early game is basically so my AD carry and I can stay in lane longer. The name of the game with Soraka in lane is, in my opinion and best results, push and deny- you need vision for this, for a long time. Having many wards allows you to do this. 1 Vision ward to counter a ward placed in your brush - if you even need to counter it, depending on who you're laning against/with, you might not have to. It is also there to counter a dragon ward in the river- this is an extremely important task for the support. Even if you know how to zone effectively you might still need one ward in their brush, especially from level 1 to 3. A ward in their brush also means your ganker can gank more effectively without worrying about losing vision if they run into a brush- but really it's the first ward you'll plant, most likely, and it's the first to go and the least needed afterwards.

I explained why I use Spirit visage in one of the chapters. The MR, HP and heal steroid it gives turns you into an off-tank, especially useful for when the enemy turns on squishy Soraka to try and pick up an easy early kill in a team fight. I am thinking about removing a few CDR glyphs for AP/lvl, though.

I didn't mean to put Mana per level, I meant to put flat MP5 Quints x2, I'll fix that.

And yes, I run my Soraka basically APless. I don't feel as if I ever need it, to be quite honest, and building a little AP and full Support is very weak, you won't get as much bang for your buck when you're splitting your resources/build into two disciplines unless you're a very hybrid toon- a la Akali etc. Besides, the only decent ability that scales with ap is her ultimate, and I would rather invest into Aegis or Shurelya than a rylais for 60 more on her ulti's heal.

I'm sorry if I offended you, that was not my intention and I apologies.

...Why so much wards early game? You don't need that much if you know how to zone. And you should buy faeri charm to prepare your 5GP10 not to help your early game. As a support rushed philo is very important.

And if your going to buy Spirit visage why use CD glyph? AP/lv are much better. Mana/lv Quint? Really come on thoes quint are bad compare to HP or flat AP.

A soraka with no AP? She is so strong on AP both as a healer and a zoner.

At least you don't have a 6th item.

You speak very rudely btw. not apreciated

I wanted to get my ideas down on the page before I fell asleep, and this was written for someone. BUT YEAH IN A FEW HOURS IT'LL BE PRETTY SO G3T R34|)Y

I suggest you take out all of the swearing, makes you seem less intelligent. You also seem to have just thrown the guide together in 10 minutes
