Thanks a ton, this is the kind of advice I actually like to hear.

Question- why are so many people beating on Ohmwrecker? i know its not a great item, but it keeps your team ahead when on the aggressive.

You have adequate item knowledge (except for some of your stuff, like Ohmwrecker. Where you got that idea, I dont even...), this guide is somewhat nicely done. Only problem, it is not organized too well. I guess you could say this is "feature-packed"?

Anyways, you get my vote. It's just barely a +1 but it's a +1. A quick redesign would really improve your score.

Also, that bright green text is hurting my eyes. Ow.

No I didn't, but AP is extremely inefficient on soraka, her Q and W both have a .4 and .45 ratio. Her E had a .7 ratio but thats only assuming you cast it on the enemy, even then it's pretty inconsistent because its like an 8 second cooldown. Her ult has a good ratio with .7 also but it's a 2 minute cooldown at rank 3, so building AP on soraka is pretty inefficient.

So let's just examine Deathcap. It gives 120 AP with a 25% increase to AP so you'll get 150 AP no matter what just building Deathcap. so 150 AP for 3200 gold. You're essentially paying nearly 2 gold per 1 AP which is pretty good all in all (potentially more depending on how much AP you have). Now, given soraka's ratio's, we'll pretty much just say her W is the only consistent scaling ratio because quite frankly you won't get much use out of Starcall (even if you do it has a poor ratio), you won't be spamming Infuse on the enemy in any case and your ult has such a long cooldown that it really only makes logical sense to compare the AP to her W.

Now, in any case, with the .45 ratio, you're pretty much paying 4 gold per every 1 point of healing. So it was already 2 gold per ap, and with a virtual .5 ratio it doubles the cost to 4 gold per 1 point of healing essentially. That's pretty inefficient, that's incredibly inefficient.

Now let's examine an item like Locket of the Iron Solari. Locket costs 2000 gold. The active alone, is 50 base per level. You're never going to get it at level 1, so let's say you get it between levels 12-14 which seems fairly realistic if you rush it. 50 base + 10x12=120, 170 damage mitigation. In addition to 35 armor which is nearly 600 gold in stats (2x Cloth Armor which are 300g a piece). 1187.5 gold worth of health (2.5x Ruby Crystal prices at 475g a piece). 360g worth of health regeneration (2x Rejuvination Beads at 180g a piece). Right there, without even factoring in the active or CDR you've got 2147.5 gold worth of stats for 2000 gold, you're already ahead. Factoring in CDR, you get an additional 312~ gold worth of CDR putting you at 2460g worth of stats. We still haven't factored in the active.

Now bringing in deathcap. they are kind of different, but to just break even on item efficiency, you pretty much need to spend 6400 gold to get an even 1 for 1 ratio which doesn't even match Locket which is more efficient in terms of stats per gold. Factoring in the active it automatically hits 1 target you, let's say you use it at level 12 like we said early, for 170 damage mitigation. Already, the active alone provides more damage mitigation than the stats you get with heal when having only a deathcap (deathcap would heal for 75 health on top of the base). Just hitting yourself alone makes it more efficient, thats not even factoring each ally that gets the shield and how it scales with levels. Now it is true that need to fully use the shield to get its full value out of it, it really shouldn't be that difficult, especially when it's already more efficient on just you, and hitting multiple targets makes it insanely efficient.

The only problem with this, is we're not factoring in additional AP, but as we've gone over, with soraka, AP is terribly inefficient, so not much will change, it's nearly impossible to keep up with Locket alone on Soraka, unless you build pure AP. The other problem is it conglomerates multiple stats and takes a pretty rudimentary system to value stats per gold based on starter items, none-the-less it still works pretty well. Finally, this only examines Locket of the Iron Solari, but the main point is to show how efficient an item is stacked up against AP for soraka, so I'd say it serves it's purpose.

so tl;dr - AP is at a 4 gold to 1 increased healing point ratio on Soraka, while an item like Locket is something like 1 stat value per .8 gold spent, which is already more efficient than a 1 to 1 system, and insanely more efficient than a 4 to 1 system

I love how people are are being *******s about the little things without looking at the big picture thanks a bunch >.>

I think you misread the title it says support/AP ... lol right?

while I can tell you put in a lot of work for this guide, a lot of the information is just flat out wrong or bad information. You have items such as Ohmwrecker and Iceborn Gauntlets listed when these aren't really support items. Additionally you have quite a few big ticket purchases and I'm not really sure where you expect to get the gold from?

Your skill sequences are all over the place and there seems to be no consistency

all in all this guide needs a lot more work, and some actual useful and good information
