Yeah, but Maokai was used to win IPL4, because everyone was like "WTF MAOKAI LOLZ THIS IS CAKE" and then he gave them a big tree hug and kinda stomped all over them. Pretty much what they said, Soraka, Taric, Alistar, LOTS of Janna, but i hate going with the flow, i like the weird ones. I like running characters the way they WERE NOT supposed to be played, like Magewick. WW with sorc. shoes, Will of the Ancients, Abyssal Mask... just trololol all over everyone and watch your Hungering Strike take half their life and replenish yours almost all the way back up. Off topic, but i thought i might share this fun trolling opportunity with everyone XD

My point is, along side of the "traditional" supports, grab some of the unconventional ones too. Throw something weird at the opponents, and watch them freak out as they try to figure what to do.

And try your supports as damage dealers. Most of them can just accidentally help allies. Lulu is literally my favourite choice for this, ever. She can buff herself so much. It used to be Soraka before nerf. Now she can't sustain herself in Mid as she once could.

Considering how cheap the early ranks of Starcall are, Soraka is still perfectly capable mid. She's a pretty good pick against some other mids, due to her ability to easily push the lane, her silence, and the free MR from her passive. I haven't gotten to test many matchups, but she seems to be especially strong against Katarina, due to much better early game damage, superior range, and effectively shutting down Kat's ability to use her ultimate in lane.

Of course, this isn't to knock Lulu mid, which is also a lot of fun.

Yup, still viable. Riot just finally forced me to build mana and Mp5 on her. :P

Every single pro I've heard talk about it says Soraka mid is completely broken.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. She has always had some of the greatest harass and farm in the game. Possibly one of the best supports at zoning AND sustain. She also has something in common with Kassadin, that MR passive AND silence, which makes them two of the greatest mid counter-picks.

I've seen Sorakas in tournaments solo top, then run all over the map while the enemy team tries to retaliate. :) It was pretty funny.
