Soraka in Dominion as a bot pusher?

[quote=alyzar]Is anyone else doing this? I find that it works awesome if you build her tanky. Rushing of ages on her is awesome and you can kite a lot of people and straight up 1v1 other ones. If you go spirit visage I think it increases what you gain from health shrines so that's cool too. I had a tiny bit of trouble with a Malady Cho'gath but as long as i dodged his rupture and kited him I was okay :3 http://alyzar.com/?p=160 Made a post about it if anyone's interested.[/quote]

[quote=Beeswarm17]RoA on dominion when the game barely lasts the whole length of time to max out your benefits? Why not just get rylai's? I'm not saying it's a bad idea, necessarily. It just seems less than stellar. Honestly, she has the sustain to handle bot lane, but I don't know if she has the raw survivability needed to really make it work. It's an interesting idea, though.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]It's a 10 minute benefit. I get it on Maokai every time simply because it builds out of Catalyst and Catalyst is really good in general.[/quote]

Catalyst builds into Rod of ages, and catalyst is an amazing starter item for someone at bot in Dominion. 2. It's cost effective in it's initial form so there is no reason not to buy it. 3. It's even more cost effective considering you are getting tankiness. If you have 50% damage reduction, 500 health is technically 750 health and etc. [quote] Honestly, she has the sustain to handle bot lane, but I don't know if she has the raw survivability needed to really make it work.

[quote=Queso]I seriously doubt Soraka can handle Heimer, Karthus, Yorick, or Morde if she had to face them in bottom lane dominion. She wouldn't be a bad choice, just there are better ones.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Maokai's better overall. Especially with the healing nerf on dominion.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]Soraka kinda sucks in dominion (that whole healing reduction thing kinda ruins her effectiveness)....but she can be played if you are extremely careful. She works best as a defender. A relatively tanky build I like to use: [[boots of swiftness]] [[Catalyst the Protector]] [[Tear of the Goddess]] [[Odyn's Veil]] [[Rylai's Crystal Scepter]] [[Hextech Sweeper]] [[Archangel's Staff]] [[Rabadon's Deathcap]][/quote]

She wouldn't be a bad choice, just there are better ones. [/quote] 1. Level up QQE, start Hextech Revolver. 2. Win push fight against any champion in game. 3. ???? 4. Profit![/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]Honestly....I'd rather play Sona on dominion....XD[/quote]

[quote=Temzilla][quote=The_Nameless_Bard] Honestly....I'd rather play Sona on dominion....XD [/quote] As a pusher, soraka is far superior. Sona kind of shines in team fight situations, but trinity tank sona is pretty strong in dominion.[/quote]
