I get bored in the middle of the night and come up with these ridiculous ideas.

I looked through the items and wondered, "Is there enough items with AP to make a tanky Soraka..."
I came up with "Yes" Discuss how it could be done.

ROA+GA is always great on her.
Google has a job title called "Head of Black Community Engagement"..
I don't know whether to cry or laugh.. or both.

1. Rod of Ages
2. Mercury's Treads
3. Guardian Angel
4. Abyssal Mask
5. Zhonya's Hourglass
6. [Insert optional support/defensive item here]

How's that?

Any ship can be a minesweeper... once.

Optional Support Item should be Spirit Visage :)

Spirit Visage is kinda mandatory on Soraka in case it wasn't obvious..

@Shadow
Abyssal Scepter is kinda meh on Soraka. Good item, but more optimal for tanks/offtanks or casters that need MR.

Rod of Ages is a must. I dont think spirit visage is mandatory on her, but on a tank build it is definetely good.

Other items that can be considered are: Rylai, Aegis of the protector and Soul Shroud.

The main purpose of a tanky Soraka is to become a not optimal target, so you can waltz into teamfights, heal your allies and debuff the enemies with Starcall spam. If they focus you, then you can survive long enough to give your team lots of free hits.

@ Searz
Abyssal is really good on a tank soraka IF your team has good Casters because you will stack the Abyssal + Starcall debuffs.

You can try to stack RoA too, its fun if you can get 2 before 30 min mark.

@Searz
The reason for that is, you get Zhonya's Hourglass for AP and armor, so why not balance that with some AP and MR, plus an aura to support your team?

And it goes very well with Starcall

Teamwork is essential. It gives the enemy someone else to shoot at.

I guess the whole Starcall deal can make it worth it, but I'm still a bit unsure..

Yeah, maybe Aegis could fit the spot better.
