Very cool guide.

I use it but I prefere up W instead of Q

Hey! first thank you for your nice words!
If you mean maxing W over Q, that's a good choice too, I put it between the possible choices too!

Thanks

VERY nicely formatted, one of the best looking guides I've ever seen visually. Very informative, and solid explanations when it comes to items, runes, abilities, etc.
Well done!

I wouldn't agree that Equinox is useful only for its silence, have you tried out E max or mix max? It's actually a lot of damage and delightfully difficult to deal with as the enemy. I think 3 pts into E (or full E) then W Max is the way to go.

Yes, equinox does more damage than starcall, but only if you manage to root someone. If not, the damage difference is nearly nothing (5% AP ratio difference between E and Q is forgettable). E max... not if you have spellthief's edge. The cd is too long and you should rely more on your autos to proc tributes; if we take the "heavy poking lanes/I can't poke with Q or I'll explode" situations in consideration it could be a good idea since usually I buy ancient coin instead, I'll try it next time. About W max I already do that in this situations since maxing Q would be counterproductive, maybe I should write it a bit more clearly in the skill description.

The 3-points E actually interests me, do you think a lvl 4-5 E or at some other levels?

what do you mean? It does damage on-hit, not whenever it roots someone. It's very good poke, and you can still use your Q and autos for the Spellthief's proc even if you don't max Q. I think you should give it a try, at least the mix max option which I think is the most viable :) E up to 3 ranks or so then W max. So like Q W E then E E R

It does damage both when it's casted and when it ends (so when it roots), to do more damage than an equal level Q you should hit the enemy both the times. About the spellthief's procs you're right, I don't know what I was thinking in that moment xD

And sure, I'll try that skill order, I'm pretty curious about it, thank you :D

(953) |

yeah, I didn't think the damage of E would only surpass Q if it hit both times (are you sure about that?), it always feels like a lot of damage to me; plus E feels safer because they can't reciprocate due to the silence and also because the range is longer than Q's. Lookin' forward to seein what you think about it after a game or two!

And I'm back after a long time, better late than never I guess D:
So, I tried what you said (both E max and E partial max) and here's my conclusion: unfortunately I don't like that much E max, I feel I lose too much power on other skills and that I can't be too useful in the early stages of the game; on the other hand, I like a lot the partial max, since I can have earlier during fights while maintaining a good amount of power in or
I'll change the skill order asap, ty :D

(47) |

Yup, 100% sure, I was always double-checking the tooltip if it was right when I was writing the comment xD
It was a surprise to me the first time too, both Q and E have the same damage (excluding the AP ratios, that are 35% and 40% respectively): 70/110/150/190/230 (+70/110/150/190/230 when E roots) magic damage.

Yeah, I can understand your point and I agree to a certain degree since the enemy can still get out of your E and eat your hp with a couple of autos; for me soraka's silence is... not very reliable (saying it's completely unreliable is a bit of an exaggeration for me), at least comparing it to the other silences in the game, but still it does a good job since a well placed E can change the course of the lane.

Very colorful and helpful guide! Good job :D

Hey Chromuro,
wow your guide is pretty neat. I love that you're focusing on so many important details like runes, item choices, game phases, warding ... and many more. That's really amazing! :)
I happened to notice that your synergy section only contains five champions. But I'm guessing you're probably already working on it.
So keep up your great work, it's really well done.

Cheers, Wicked Cherry.

Hey Wicked, thank you for your kind words! :D
Actually if you read the descriptions of the synergies I preferred to go with groups of ADC (like utility ADC, poke ADC etc.) instead of writing down every description, just to have a general idea of what you should look for when picking soraka!
Maybe in the future I'll add every description, but for now I think it's good like this :^
