Hi !! ♡♡
Im a platinum enchanter main that mainly plays Soraka. This is my second season playing and soraka has been the champion that has helped me climb the most. I really like her because she is good with basically all adcs and that's really good if you are a soloQ player like me that has every game a different adc.

This is my first guide so if you have any feedback, good or bad, leave it in the comment please ♡ Also english is not my first language so if you see any mistakes i apologise and i would be happy if you leave any correction in the comments ♡

♡ Barrier: standard soraka runes, although some adcs dont really like her with barrier so you may have to go heal or exhaust instead !

♡ Heal: another good option for her, take heal when your adc doesn't

♡ Exhaust: a nice option if the enemies have assasins or if the adc doesn't want you to take barier

♡ guardian inspiration

i really like this rune page because of the protection guardian grants and the sustain on the lanning fase because of the biscuits. also cosmic insight is pretty nice because of the cooldown reduction on your summoners and items.

- Guardian
- Font of Life
- Bone Plating
- Revitalize

- Inspiration
- Biscuit Delivery

♡ aery resolve

use these if you need survability in lane but dont want to go guardian, also heals are a bit stronger.

- Summon Aery
- Manaflow Band
- Transcendence
- Gathering Storm

- Resolve
- Bone Plating
- Revitalize

♡ guardian sorcery

similar to the first ones but these are better late game because of the mana, so if you dont really need the cookies for lanning you can take this ones.

- Guardian
- Font of Life
- Bone Plating
- Revitalize

- Sorcery
- Manaflow Band
- Gathering Storm

♡ aery domination

if you want to have your ult up more often and want more vision go this runes

- Summon Aery
- Manaflow Band
- Transcendence
- Gathering Storm

- Zombie Ward
- Ultimate Hunter

♡ aery inspiration

this rune page is really good if you plan on poking a lot during the lanning fase (PLEASE dont go scorch, i see a lot of people use it with aery and its useless unless you go comet).

- Summon Aery
- Manaflow Band
- Transcendence
- Gathering Storm

- Inspiration
- Biscuit Delivery

♡ guardian domination

same as aery domination but with guardian.

- Guardian
- Font of Life
- Bone Plating
- Revitalize

- Zombie Ward
- Ultimate Hunter

♡ starter items

- Spellthief's Edge: if you know you can poke safetly (always take this vs enchanters to you can out poke them.
- Relic Shield: vs all in bot lane where you can't poke safetly.

♡ mythics

- Moonstone Renewer: for big heals
- Shurelya's Battlesong: if you need mobility or speed to run away from ememies
- Locket of the Iron Solari: if the enemy team comp has a lot of burst (you might have some mana problems with solari tho)

♡ other items

- Redemption: if they dont revert the changes of this patch 1.18 you should rush redemption after your mythic so after you cast your R you cast redemption
- Chemtech Putrifier: if you need anti heal for you and your team (important in low elo because your team usually don't buy anti-heal until is too late)
- Ardent Censer: if your team can profit from the attack speed it gives
- Staff of Flowing Water: if your carries are ap
- Mikael's Blessing: if they have a lot of cc or you need mr
- Vigilant Wardstone: wardstone can be a very good last item, because as a support you always have to have pink wards on you, and it also has some nice raw stats

♡ boots options

- Boots of Swiftness: swiftness are nice for the extra speed because soraka is really slow
- Ionian Boots of Lucidity: ionian are also good for the ability haste
- Mercury's Treads: if you need extra protection vs burst you can go mercs vs ap or hard cc teams
- Plated Steelcaps: vs heavy ad comps

♡ Soraka matchups

- Alistar: save your e for when he engages and you should be fine, take guardian vs him.

- Amumu: really annoying, he's tanky and has too much cc with the double Q buff they gave him, so build mercs and dont get too close to him.

- Bard: he's not a problem in the lanning fase for you, but he is a problem for your teammates and if they die to a bard gank you are going to be pinged. my recommendation is that when the game starts tell in chat "bard is probably going to roam a lot and i cant follow him, so carefull with his ganks, i'll try to ping when he goes missing".

- Blitzcrank: one of the worst matchups for soraka, he is too fast and if he gets you you're dead. you also cant poke so take relic shield and guardian.

- Brand: most of brands are inters so its fine, just tell your team to focus him so he dies early on teamfights and he does the least dmg posible.

- Braum: easy matchup most of the time, you can poke him non stop if he gets on your range.

- Galio: easy matchup if you respect his range, if he doesnt hit taunt he cant do much more.

- Janna: easy mathup in general, you outpoke her early and your heals are better than hers late game.

- Karma: she is just really annoying in the lanning fase because of her R + Q dmg early game, but you outscale her.

- Leona: take guardian and relic shield, also try to get lvl 2 prio so you dont die lvl 2. also save your E for when she gets on top of you or your adc, dont waste it to poke.

- Lulu: really really annoying if she is with a good adc like vayne, twitch or kog, if they get fed its probably FF, so try to not die and wait to outscale her late game.

- Lux: try to dodge her q and you should be fine, you can go guardian for the extra protection, but you outsustain her and outscale her if she doesnt get fed.

- Morgana: one Q and you are probably dead, go guardian and you can go all in when she misses her Q so she cant do much.

- Nami: you outpoke her and outscale her, but if she hits her Q maybe she can win the trade so be carefull.

- Nautilus: save your E for when he engages and build mercs if they have more cc.

- Pyke: use your E when he is casting his Q but flash his stun, because if he hits that you're probably dead.

- Rakan: he is really good in all in's but you win long trades so try to extend them as much as possible.

- Rell: play safe around her because if she goes all in she probably wins.

- Senna: try to get your jungler to gank you, she can outpoke you if you dont hit your Q's, but she has infinnite scaling so keep that in mind.

- Seraphine: she outranges you but she is really only her R, so try to dodge all you can and you should win long trades.

- Shaco: annoying

- Sona: you are better than her late game, but she is a late game beast but really squishy.

- Swain: dodge his E moving to a side and you win

- Thresh: also a really bad matchup for soraka, ban him if possible, a good thresh is going to win you probably.

- Vel'Koz: too much poke so take guardian and relic shield, also barrier is nice vs him.

- Yuumi: i usually ban her because she really anoys me, she basically does the same as you but you cant kill her. try to E her when she tries to proc her passive.
