Soraka, u mad Americans?

[quote=caucheka]the main thing is how many heals i was throwing out early game on old soraka, with less heals im not spending up so much mana. i did get tear into aa on old soraka but i didnt need it with new soraka. of course i had philo and morellos..[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]I don't need it either (RoA + Morello's), but it does work decently enough. I've been midding with her (with some success, I need more practice), and I spam starcall A LOT. AA is good if you want to use infuse as a damaging ability and nothing else. Otherwise don't get one. Saw this idiot Soraka stacking picks earlier...WTF?!?! Dat GP/10 don't stack.[/quote]

[quote=Jvstm][quote=NicknameMy] New Soraka build? [items=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/item-purchase-planner#&item=25-40-85-115-116-34-114] [/quote] This is actually the build I currently use, sub CDR boots for your Spell Pen boots. I rush Rylai's after boots, then push for Deathcap. After I get either Zhonya's or Abyssal, depending on comps. I grab Morello's last, but I'm considering getting something in place of it, since I almost always grab blue buff on Soraka anyways. EDIT: I may drop Morello's for Deathfire Grasp, actually, now that I think about it. It'll still put me at that 40 CDR cap, with slightly less caster stats but a nice nuke active.[/quote]

[quote=JBuckowskiEsq]And are you guys playing her as a mid AP carry? Or still running bot lane? I have played a few games with her playing mid, maxing starcall first, i've gotten first blood a number of times but i've been really tapering off late game.[/quote]

[quote=Jvstm]I've always taken mid lane as Soraka and done very well. Now I'm taking mid lane as Soraka and literally shitting on kids. I'm afraid she's going to get a nerf soon because these kids crying about her.[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK][quote=Lugignaf] Lol. I played a game where she was mid and I was Soraka, bot support. Needless to say, I put out more heals but she put out stronger ones. He silence hit like a truck and now that people see she can be a strong laner, I see no reason why she shouldn't. She's a lot harder to support with but it's still doable. [/quote] Yea, she had most damage dealt at the end of the game...[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]That means for the build: [items=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/item-purchase-planner#&item=25-58-40-116-85-115-35-34] You get 9 CDR from [[sorcery]]+[[intelligence]] and 10 CDR from [[elixir of brilliance]], means 39% Masteries: [masteries=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/mastery-tree-planner#&tree1=1-0-0-3-4-0-0-1-0-0-0-0-0-0&tree2=0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0&tree3=0-3-1-0-4-0-0-3-2-0-3-1-3-0-1] Skill Order: You need [[Starcall]] for farming and [[infuse]] for nuking and mana. Both are very important. The heal is more or less useless. means: [abilities=eqeqerqeqerqwwwrww champion=soraka] or [abilities=eqewqreqeqreqwwrww champion=soraka][/quote]

[quote=Jvstm]The heal isn't "useless". It just isn't as good to max it early like most Soraka players did before. Late game her team fight presence, thanks to her heals and debuffs, is just as potent as before.[/quote]

[quote=JBuckowskiEsq]Still trying to get a straight answer on whether she "needs" mid lane for this type of build to work, or if she should still be side lane.[/quote]

[quote=Jvstm]Well, considering I've always played Soraka like I do now, she's fine in a side lane AS LONG AS you let your partner know your heals will not be coming. Take the "You're a noob" comment and carry his ass like I do.[/quote]
