The cheat sheet is pretty much.. yknow, empty.. as far as the items go. I get that Soraka is srlsy situational as far as the items are concerened, but you should still add one full build to your cheat sheet.
I prefer going 0-21-9 when building like a support (not going AP)
Your skilling is really weird :p Like, why do you max starcall so late? You could go 3>14>15>17>18, don’t get why you get it at 13, I think that’s waaaaay too late.
Could use some coding here and there, like some nice templates for Pros/Cons
Don’t think that the ’Moronic picks’ are needed in the guide at all. Even if you were to add them, you should just say, non viable picks and not ’moronic’.
Q is not useless in the current meta...
Need a lot more depth as far as laning partners go.
More info, and more laning partners.
More info and more enemy match ups as well.
More depth in the gameplay chapters might be nice.

Overall a good guide, deserving a +1
The stuff above is just constructive critisism, hope it helps.

Nice detailed guide. I like the screenshot warding section, I see so many supports that don't ward late game.

Thanks for all the feedback and support. As far as adding more depth, I did expand on one section. But game play as Soraka is pretty straightforward in comparison to other champions. That's part of what makes her such an easy support to play.

I'm thinking about ripping the warding sections out and creating an entire guide devoted to warding. Then I'll put a link in this guide to that guide. There's just so much to cover, and I feel like I got lazy here. Also, I'm definitely going to make a few more guides for different champions, so it'll be nice to have it in a central location.

Again, thank you all for the support!!!

I like this guide, I do think you should take out the warding section though as it's just too vast a topic to cover in a character guide without creating a guide in itself.

I REALLY like that there are other people who don't take Starfall until absolutely necessary ^_^

Also, I'm personally not too great with mana, and as I don't play ranked yet I support a lot of people who need more frequent healing, so I take Philosopher's Stone twice and get 'both' Shurelya's Reverie and Eleisa's Miracle, but then I generally don't build much AP at all.

I will be trying these item builds out however =]

Thanks for the support :)

Only issue I have with taking Philosopher's Stone twice is because the GP10 doesn't stack, but I totally get why you would do it. I've played with competitive teams where it's not that my AD Carry isn't good, it's that they want to harass as much as possible and tank the minions to get that cs up because they know that I can spam Astral Blessing because of my insane mana regen. It really lets your AD Carry strut around lane feeling next to invincible and frustrates your opponents when you counter their poke lane.

I'll definitely create my own warding guide within the next month or so (making champion guides is too fun, especially when you get positive feedback). But until then, I'm just going to leave it in since while it is nowhere near complete, it is still good information that can only benefit the reader.

When I do take both of the Philosopher's Stone items though I never have 2 of them at the same time, I'll wait until I have enough gold to both upgrade 1 into an Eleisa's and then purchase another =]
