Soraka ARAM queen?

[quote=Kuukai85]Hi people, in this period i play a lot of ARAMs and when i get [[Soraka]] they often finish with a godlike for me, 0 or 1 death, and tons of assists. I don't play her as a support: I build her as APC, with abilities order R>E>Q>W (only 1 point on W at the beginning, generally), and starting with an [[Athene's Unholy Grail]] and [[Sorcerer's Shoes]], then adapting to the game ([[Zhonya's Hourglass]] if there's a lot of AD, [[Abyssal Scepter]] if there's a lot of AP) and [[Rabadon's Deathcap]] and [[Deathfire Grasp]] if i'm really really fed. Actually i still haven't found a better champ, for the ARAM.. What do you think about it?[/quote]

[quote=Melchee]I play her with a mix of mana sustain, AP, support and tankyness, including locket and bullwark if needed. Especially in TFs the tankyness can help much. You can't be focused down easily and you will survive long enough to get your heals/silence on important targets. She also has to be kinda in the middle of a TF to really make good use of her Q because the range is not the highest and you want to hit as many people as possible as often as you can which is easier with a tankier Soraka. You will loose some of your healing power if your not going for APC Soraka, but that way she has more Impact in a TF than APC Soraka except the enemy team is ignoring you completly. Edit: A Nid in ARAM who can hit her spears > Soraka She just takes half life from your squishies with some AP.[/quote]

[/quote] In fact, you play her as a support :D with some positioning (like every APC) you can stay close to battle and don't just be the usual supp (that is a little useless, in an ARAM, with the standard build, imho)..[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex]She works more as a complement. If she's sustaining her whole team, especially early, you're doing it wrong. Poke or engage, ARAM players go rabadon's rush on her = she's damn squishy. If you don't kill her soon, later in the game as one of the top priorities, you'll lose.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]i was able to 1v1 a dr mundo as ap soraka. 1v1. mundo. iirc sorc shoes, athenes, zhonyas, rabadons, liandrys, and crystal scepter. not in any particular order.[/quote]

[quote=Kuukai85]@caucheka i think that maybe Athene can be the first, you need to spam your abilities a lot and without mana it could be hard :D[/quote]

[quote=grrg]I think that more people need to be building Will of the Ancients in ARAM... but that is just me. Every time I am playing an ap character its the first item i rush because its so good.[/quote]

[quote=Kuukai85]It's more situational, if you have a team with 3+ AP champions is ok, if not it's not that useful..[/quote]

[quote=caucheka][quote=Kuukai85] @caucheka i think that maybe Athene can be the first, you need to spam your abilities a lot and without mana it could be hard :D [/quote] of course, i was just saying that i didn't have them in any particular order.[/quote]
