Soraka is censored in my runes.
And so is the rest of my comment.
******************** +1

I rly like the first build, but why no Sightstones?

First couple of games trying your first build went horrible, but since then almost every game has been one of my best raka games.

awesome build verry tnx u are great.

I absolutely love what you've done with your Champion Abilities section! Looks so vibrant and colourful! :) I've also noticed the effort you're going to around the site, starting discussions on guides and helping people out. Keep up the great work! +1 for now, all the best to you and your guide.

i did calculations for u

if you continue getting tickets at the rate ur doing, u will end up with 1070 tickets.

but even then that only equates to just around 1.28% of u winning one of 10 prizes.

At this point this is harassment. What if he wants to win the prize? Who cares? Grow up and find another place to vent your frustration or do it in a more original way.

1) not harassing
2) its quite clear he wants to win the prize, so there's no need for your rehtorical question
3) who cares? clearly you do xD
4) cant vent my frustration elsewhere if im not frustrated in the first place
5) this way is original. tell me another uses who has pulled up intricate mathematics like that

and btw, like the user said, I can use PM, which I have. so why dont u mind ur own business :)

(14) |

Your PM has title "read" and it says:

Quoted:

not trying to make u feel bad btw

I read your spam cooment (going to report it: :) ). The calculation is wrong, I can tell without even opening my calculator and I won't describe the number of reasons.
I totally agree with @ jokersprank . And I am going to report you for discouraging people to be active in mobafire :)

(33) |

I already reported this guy several times. I don't think we'll see him around much in the future.

The best build about Soraka, Its a beautiful work! Road to diamond! hahaha

Gratitude for the positive feed back :)

To make the guide even better, maybe you can write why braum is a lvl 1 threat and Thresh lvl 9? I mean, a reason for all you listed up and what to be careful of! I think that would help many people a lot! Keep it up

(14) |

Hey stAMy,

Will do that, just need more time to write down for each build about the 19 champions that are listed.
Thank you for your feedback :)

2.-Which one you like the most? Why?
3.-Which one you dislike? Why?
4.-What can be improved?

Thanks in advance for your feedback :)

Hi, I really like your build n°1 as its really powerful when you learn how to position yourself, and anyway without flash you'll learn the hard way ;)

I just can't really stop buying sightstone on 2nd back with swiftness unless I'm just sitting under tower with the adc. I upgrade it last instead of getting mikael's though.

I find this build much more powerful than the regular flash/exhaust, altough you get flamed a lot in lobby/early. When they see the cheese you pull with baiting and that u can position well, suddenly the tone changes! Good work!

(14) |

Yeah... I forgot the say some words about that flame. But anyway, I am glad you liked the build :)

(34) |

great build

I am glad that you find this build helpful :)

Hey monimakaroni,

I see you have spent a lot of your time to create this awesome guide. Its so helpful and useful but i have one question. Can i get instead of because when u die you lost a lot of staks. Anyway thanks you for help and now Soraka is my favorite champion. Broken english xd

Hello there, ScdoWn,

I assume that you haven't read my guide carefully, because of the question that you have asked.
There are First and Second.Only the First build has . The Second build has instead of and instead of .
I don't recommend taking instead of if you want to play with the First build. If you die a lot, as I have said in my guide, go with the Second build
Hope I answered your question :)

You are most welcome : )

I use a pretty similar build, but with Zhonya as early item. Man that little stuff saved my life and killed more enemies, than i count. I think that people are smarter in Diamond, but in Silver, and Gold most of them just stand there waiting to wear off. Even if they don't it can make them waste their combo. Your AP is useless if you are too dead to use it.

(14) |

Well...
To be honest it is not my fault that some players lack skills.
If anyone wants to try this build they can buy it instead

So first off. I have started playing a lot of Raka recently. This guide is great and i really only have one t***art question. Why doesn't sight stone make an appearance? And what would you drop for it if you have to?

Also im not sure I'm with you on gold items. I've always preffered coin instead for the cdr and the ms buff at 3rd tier. I feel that if your not taking flash that would be more beneficial in its place

Hey CyanideRayne,

The reason why it doesn't have is because it is not worth buying one (in my opinion). If riot decides to make a item that gives abillity power or healing/shielding power increase I would take it in my build instead of .
Exception makes that gives 25 ap which is almost nothing.
I personally think that trinkets and control wards are enough for the team.

About the gold item - does not increases the damage that you can deal to the enemies with . Another downside, which depends on the player skills, is the amount of gold you can receive from the gold item. I have had games in which I had earned about 1500g from Frostfang. From this is just impossible. Of course, to have so much goild with Frostfang you should know how to land successful , know how to position in team fights, how to stay alive, where to go when the first turret of your lane is pushed - overall knowledge about the game itself, 's mechanics and working in team.
The cdr is 5% - almost nothing.
The full build doesn't include a gold item, which means that you should decide for yourself what item to remove in order to find a place for Talisman of Ascension if you want to play your way
In my opinion every other item is superior than Talisman of Ascension.
I can only recommend you playing with the second build, buying then (instead of and ) and when you have purchased , and take and in order to have place for sell .

gives AP though, 25 AP to be specific, and 10% CDR. I'm honestly massively confused at the implication that there is no item that gives AP when there obviously is.

(14) |

I meant item that gives decent abillity power, and I don't care about the cdr. gives you 20 AP wheather you have stacks or not. has just additional 5 ap. Which is nothing.
I will edit my comment though. When I was righting it I was thinking of mentioning it but CyanideRayne wants to play with so a thought that it is pointless to talk about

(9) |

I suppose you meant 'In my opinion, every other item is superior than Talisman of Ascension.'' that for Soraka because its 's main item nowadays and really effective on her due to ms boost in team fights is just...s-s-soothing my team, it sometimes ensures your escape or chasing success but that things was for , I'm also interestingly think that has almost no real use for most times, and sometimes become an essential for monster supports imo but why don't you build warding item that built through since it provides sustain for Soraka, landing in some situations are just death itself, wouldn't taking it be safer for sustained healing and ofc alongside with , I think Soraka's base hp regen is just terrible *-*

(14) |

Ok...
because too many persons have commented that hp regen I am going to add a chapter about the hp regen that you will have with this build.
I think that you don't know the passive ability that both and have. I have mentioned it in my build though.
If you have, for example, 300% base mana regen you are going automatically to gain 300% base hp regen. Which is awesome. This way I need not to buy any tanky items or have hp regen runes because all of the mana regen that I am going to purchase is going to be applied for my hp regen
Hope you got that

(9) |

I already did know that, just it's about base regens and Soraka's hp regen is the lowest that can be found in game, 300% doesn't mean it will give a huge chunk of regen like it did on tanks for example, or whatever its same reason that we don't pick on , it seems super effective on paper but not in reality, perhaps I'm playing support over 10 years OFC I'm aware of details, (other games), just IDK if you played PoE but taking 1000% extra barrier won't make much difference when you have 1 energy barrier, same thing can be said for Soraka too, her base regens are terrible, adding some Mundo like regen would be nice isn't it? So you won't be able to catch the same effect like you did in other exchange, I don't want to be aggressive but sorry, being that definite won't probably make people understand better, I just wanted to know difference but telling me I'm unaware about items after playing years is just upset me, also lol build is really OP when it comes to healings, I almost maxed HP of our mid laner with R [when she 20% more or less hp], ty thou I have tried but that seems a little weak on Soraka, I think it's especially useful on like supports but not sure yet because using stacks through just seems super cool, ty 4 guide thou. As I said before it would be nice to regen our 400 hp in 100 secs instead of 800 secs because of Soraka's terrible early regens isn't it just curious if you have tried yet? Please share your opinions senpai *-*

Ok...so
First of all,the more ability you have the more heal you are going to gain from rejuventaion. This buff actually has 10% ap ratio(I think ratio was the word) and in my way of understanding , she shouldn't rely on having hp regen stay 100000miles away from the enemy and spam . 's role, I think, is to gently transfer the enemy's hp into a heal(thanks to that buff rejuventaion). With this build(with - full build, with the runes, and with the masteries), if you hit one succesful you are going to a get like (wait me to the math)
25 stacks on mejais - 600,75ap total, 40% increased healing/shielding power
- Rejuvenation = 22(+10% ap) hp per second = 82 hp per second (and this gets buffed by 40% because it is heal) = 114,8 hp per second and this for 4 seconds = 459,2 hp = one Rejuvenation in late game. (if the stacks are 0, I have mentioned that is better to buy Rejuvenation is going to be 353,12). /And btw this heal can be further increased by elixir, baron, infernals, and when I was doing the math I forgot about the flat 20ap that Mejais gives/.
And in late game with this build Soraka has around 1500-1700 hp. So one rejuvenation equals 1/4 of her hp. In addition, when she uses on ally she is going to grant him the same buff for 5 seconds - the heal is actually going to be 574hp - which is almost 1/2 of your late game heals. This means that you will save a lot of W casting if you get that buff.
So in fact Soraka should't rely on her hp regen in game but on her skills to land succesful Starcall

About .
I usually rush this item because it give 20% cdr and because of its unique passive (that you know). But why is this item good for
- In early game when has like 4-5 sec cd this item can be vital. This is so, because if you manage to heal your allies with while having rejuvenation the following results will occur:
- Normally the damage you have stored is going to be transferred into heal
- The most important thing is that while rejuvenation last on your ally 20% of every damage dealt during that period is going to be healing your adc as well. For example, if you use or (even better) on three enemies that damage dealt is going to be transferred whether you want it or not because you are healing your adc with rejuventaion.
Hope you understood why I take Athene's Unholy Grail

Wow, now I can see why you pick and ap items, seems pretty fair since building and regens are almost nothing when compared to 's Rejuvenation, weirdly, sorry for being a little rude, your way of playing seems it fills 's weaknesses with another thing, but what do you suggest for newer/inexperienced players like me since positioning with was already critical and with this build, (which probably more rewarding because I was building a little bit ap too like you [W:600+] heal)but do landing becomes even more dangerous, due to builds cost-reward level but I suppose it's nice how s are really effective and our blood stacks heal through which is super cool *-*, but I have something to ask about spells, do you pick always or just when your adc takes because its really important in my view, also the reason sometimes becomes stronger than is her kit, even she gives 2k shield like karma support, its alone not enough, but sustained buffs and shields, while peeling carry and blocking way of assassins with our kit, seems the best defense sometimes, even in most matches like if you get caught by enemy, (which you shouldn't against enemy ,, doesn't flash seem get more valuable due to repositioning power, don't let enemy reach you motto was the key of playing Soraka wasn't that? Thanks for explanatory answers, sorry for bothering you with that all boring wall-text like questions :<

(14) |

If you have the time watch some of the gameplay and see how I am positioning with Soraka with and . Honestly, I can't argue with the fact that helps you reposition, but I just find and more effictive for .
