I used to be a support main but now I am flexing top lane a lot. I am making this guide because people don't realize just how good Soraka can be, even with her nerfs. I am shocked she isn't played more often with how strong she really is and I want you to take this guide and use it to build your own game-play and style. It's okay if you die, it's okay if you don't do as good as you want or others you watch. We all have bad games and this game is all about getting better and you have to start somewhere. Just simply mute toxic people if they start getting upset because you aren't doing that good. You don't have to be perfect by any means, but you should at least know what you are doing, take time to learn the skills and how they react and stuff.

This isn't a fancy guide, I'm not some big name person.

I'm a rank silver nub who plays an aggressive style support. I personally will chase low health enemies, I will be in team fights ensuring I am doing some damage because it can be a deciding factor in a fight, I also will body block damage. For example Jhin's ult or a Caitlyn ult if needed (aka if adc is low health and trying to back away and I have more than enough health to also escape. Otherwise just leave them and save yourself and back then roam til your ADC is back up.


THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, IT WILL BE UPDATED AND IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS THEN BY ALL MEANS ASK. I HAVE DISCORD SO YOU CAN ALWAYS REACH ME @Lonewolff55#4663 or on League (NA) @ChemtechCarnage

Soraka's Advantages

- LOADS of healing
- Can be aggressive during laning phase
- Generally easy to play
- Has a silence that can root making for insane outplays
- GlOBAL Healing Ultimate!
- Fast movement speed in certain situations
- Has some of the best skins
- Banana Queen

Soraka's Weaknesses

- Requires landing a skill shot to maximise healing output
- Is very squishy
- Enemy will take grievous wounds to try and mitigate your healing

You are a support. Not just for your ADC but for your entire team. Your ultimate is a global heal (heals your entire team) not only should you support your ADC but you should also be constantly looking at your teams HP and where they are to see if they are fighting. You play a very important role in the outcome of most team fights and objective fights.


DO NOT BE AFRAID TO DIE! Try to use yourself as bait but don't get caught out by yourself. So many times you will see a teammate beside you then poof, they are gone and you are dead. Unless you are under half health, it's okay to be towards the front, it makes you seem like a tasty bait. Just use your barrier, silence them, and watch your team decimate them.

Use your slow to your advantage! Honestly...You can level up either your Q or W first and max either out. If your adc is more aggressive and you passive, then get your W first and max it out. If you are more aggressive while the adc is passive then get your Q maxed. Please also pay attention to the mana consumption, Q uses more mana to cast then E and your W uses mana as well as your own health (unless under 5% health in which case you won't be able to cast even if you had full mana).

So, I talked a little bit on runes and here I will discuss them further.


1. Your main tree should be sorcery

2. with champs like raka/and Janna you should ALWAYS! go Aery (though Comet also works on Janna at least)

3. Mana flow band is really the only/best choice with raka. Man, I wrote this guide back when Ultimate hat was a thing, anyone else remember that?

4. Transcendence, this is like a miniature version of Ultimate hat, it gives 10% CDR at level 10, and any further CDR turns into AP (useful for healing). However some people go Celerity, which is fine, I just personally don't like it.

5. I go gathering storm as the last rune personally because of it's usefulness late game. It helps scale your AP for better healing in those long games. Scorch is only really good early game then falls off.

6. Resolve tree as your secondary but some people run domination. I prefer resolve because it gives you and your ADC better sustain throughout the game. That sustain + your healing can save someones life in any fight. Revitalize as soraka is useful not only because it strengthens your heals, but when you create a shield it's a bit bigger and again,that can be so overly helpful in fights.

7. Font of life is what I used to reccomend but honestly, second wind/bone platying are better for getting/surviving through the early game lane phase.
