You're welcome :D

OwO <3

Slap a Gargoyle Stoneplate on top of the build and we're bigger, stronker and faster than Cho'gath XD I'm just kidding. Man that does remind me of the good Force of Nature days when the item actually made alot of sense for the heavy regen against heavy AP teams and your W didn't even end up getting a negative effect out of it (HP use wasn't increased cos FoN didn't have any HP on it). https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Force_of_Nature#Revisions

That used to be pretty fun :D

You're nicer <3

I'm assuming you meant to say wouldn't?

Yeah I mean if they're already on top of your booty then you might wanna have barrier, whatever works best for you <3

I just play as Jerry (the mouse from Tom and Jerry) and always roll with exhaust and flash. I make sure they never get on my booty. It's really a cat and mouse game. Kinda like being an assassin, but instead of finding opportunities/moments to execute your enemies you dip in and out of situations to help your teammates with phat heals, silences and damage reductions.

I always say, whatever works best for you, roll with that. Forcing someone to play a certain playstyle doesn't work in their favour. It's just what I found myself working the best for me.

Have fun :D

Sounds like that Mordekaiser really likes building anti-heal, too bad for him they don't stack XD
How was Mordekaiser's room like, was it messy? Filled with metal band posters and electric guitars? Jokes aside XD Good job on escaping the Death Realm! He should've just went with Morellonomicon.. or Thornmail if your team was heavy on physical dmg.

All you gotta know is that the GW items apply 40% healing reduction. Both Chemtech Putrifier and Morellonomicon applies GW by dealing magic to the enemy champions, whilst Thornmail applies GW when champions auto attack the player with Thornmail.

All three of them can also increase the effect to 60%. For Chemtech Putrifier it's healing or shielding allies. For Morellonomicon they gotta be under 50% of their max hp. For Thornmail your enemies got to be immobilized.

There's not much you can do against anti-heal, it's a counter build item. Things you can do however is dodging abilities so that GW doesn't apply on you. That way atleast you still get full benefit out of the heals from landing Q's and using your R.

EDIT: As of patch 11.18 when using R, Grievous Wounds gets removed from all targets before applying the ultimate heal.

Hope that helps!

Hey Extasion,

Awwh, first of all thanks for the kind words I appreciate it alot! c:

As mentioned before Redemption is an alright item, it comes down to preference, it really is a team oriented item, to make the most out of it your team needs to be coordinated and group up, I also don't really like the 200hp stat on it and the 2.5secs. delay I feel like it's a tad bit too long, especially in late game when people die in split seconds.

Scaling hp regen is fine if you think you'll play more passive early game and not trade too much. I personally like to have the advantages early game to set myself up for mid and late game, you can do the same by playing more passive and have it scale up. Note: Riot mentioned runes and masteries are being revamped (I don't know when but maybe beginning of next season?), so don't spend too much on additional runes (they'll be removed, the spend ip on runes will be compensated in some sort of way, maybe not 100% compensated).

Janna indeed doesn't really poke that much, her Q is pretty slow and not too reliable of a damaging skill to stack Athene's compared to Soraka's Q, and Janna's W doesn't do enough on it's own. So picking Mikael's over Athene's on Janna is a good choice. On Janna I definitely go Oasis because it's way too hard to proc Tribute on her. For Soraka Oasis was super good until the revamp they did, Watcher's became really good, however Oasis has been getting buffs recently and it's really on par with Watcher's. As of right now I'm on vacation and I don't have too great of internets here so I can't really do proper testing.

So the deal with Athene's vs the healing and shielding power items is the following: passively you'll heal more with your W and R with the healing and shielding power items, but when you hit your Q you will have a bunch of stacks that prevent burst damage without having to immediately pop your R. Alot of the healing also comes from the replication on Soraka's Q so Athene's further boosts your healing on every Q you hit when you heal with Athene's Blood Charges. With the Blood Charges you also heal alot more per 10% hp you sacrifice. However it all comes down to how many Q's you hit (aswell as the damage you deal with E), if you don't hit too many then the healing and shielding power items are definitely better, but do keep in mind that when playing Soraka it all comes down to how many Q's you hit, to sustain yourself up and thus sustaining your team's health.

Again, it really depends on the playstyle that you like more and what works better for you. Athene's got alot better with the new passive (5 AP per 25% base mp regen) and Watcher's definitely boosts this item even further with the 50% base mp regen it has. However with the recent buffs to Oasis it may be good to go back to Oasis and Mikael's rather than Watcher's and Athene's. Mikael's gives more safety to heavy cc teams and the passive healing is also better.

Runes are fine (Seals I believe you meant to say hp regen).

The way you've constructed the build is good aswell, you decided to go for Redemption (has 10% cdr) so you've picked different boots to not go over the cap which is also good, I'd prefer Swifties because of the slow resist in combat, Mobility boots are really good for roaming (if that's more your playstyle), but in combat the movement speed is only 25 which is kinda slow, not too much fan of that myself.

As for the Luden's Echo, it's really a great way to gain additional AP while adding movement speed from the item due to no boots, however games really have to be going super super long for that to happen. I used to do a similar thing on Sona, switching cdr boots for Lich Bane (gives movement speed more AP and the 10% cdr), this works really good on Sona because she has an aoe speed buff build in her kit which also scales off AP. A late game Sona with alot of AP still moves really really fast without boots.

:D I'm happy to see that I've encouraged you!

Cya around :3
