Leona

Ahhh... Leona.

Leona

Again, it's Leona. She just outdoes everything you can do. The only thing she can't do that you can is heal, KEEP THAT IN MIND. Make sure your team is engaged on their ADC, Mid Lane, or Jungle if they are an assassin.

Lux

Lux outranges you, so you have to stay careful and E as soon as you see her E, or she'll win every trade, and get gold for it (if she's support).

Alistar

You outrange him, just make sure you stay out of that range, because he'll engage as soon as he hits three. Hit full combo plus the enemy ADC will most likely melt anyone at the bot lane. Also remember that his CDs aren't that long, so just keep a marker on his engage tools and when he starts walking to you with them.

Galio

He's an Alistar with a bit of damage stack on him, and AP Reduction with his shield, too. He's almost made to wreck in lane against a support like you. He will GLADLY swallow your poke, and engage with his E --> W. And maybe while he's at it, he'll Ult if someone is engaged with him. His ult has THE LONGEST CD EVER, so if he ults and misses, his utility is lessened heavily.

Brand

He hurts, he hurts, and he hurts. You can't exactly outrange him, either. Every time you trade with him, dodge everything he attempts to hit you with.

Blitzcrank

Sona

Janna

Karma

Lulu

Morgana

This is literally what the build is meant for. Keep in mind, locking in Soraka before the enemy Support is not ALWAYS bad. You will run into bad Support and AD Carry match ups, but Soraka can be adaptive, and trust me, you can turn every game around. But all I have to say is Morg will always be terrifying if you aren't comfortable. Just cool down like a Q (HAH) and pop off with reflexes and protect your Carries as well as you can.

Leona

It's Leona, bud. Adapt as well as possible. See what you can do, style on her and dodge her stuns is all I have to say.

Brand

The reason Soraka will never want to be seen Mid is because of assassins and hard hitting, dumb stupid mages. Brand does damage at the early, mid, and late stages of the game. He will Out-trade you, Out-damage you, Out-range you, and just be a nuisance.

Akali

Akali is an assassin, we all know this. If anything, she is THE BEST assassin right now in the meta. She doesn't fall off late game, she doesn't die easily, she has a heavy power spike at level 6, and the only way you stop that mess is by placing your E properly; right on top of yourself, even if you don't do damage with it. Every time you attempt to Q or E where she is, you will lose the fight after 5. When she hits six, you better Q where your standing if you're in range of her Ult.

Swain

You out-sustain Swain as long as you dodge everything he has. He can be annoying, I know, but you should win this matchup after all of his semi-nerfs.

Ahri

Another assassin, another losing matchup.

Azir

Cassiopeia

Talon

Talon is a weird case. He doesn't out-sustain you, but he out damages your sustain if you don't dodge at least part of his Q. You out range him, but he can get to you pretty quickly.

Yasuo

Zed

Heimerdinger

Kassadin

He's the bane of your existence. Q trades your Q too hard. His autos hit harder than two of yours. His E out-damages your whole kit. If he procs ult at 6, and you E where he stands, he gets out of it. He's too scary to try and engage on. Wait for ganks.

Galio

Too tanky.

Fizz

He can rush you at 6. But his problem is that his CDs early game are so long for a mid laner, and all you really have to do is dodge his hop and you might win the trade. At 6 though, make sure you E him after most of his CDs are up.

Ekko

Annie

Diana

Leona

Now, Leona is a special case. She is a threat because she's Leona. But mind you: you have many ways to stop her Cc on others, let alone your Silence stops half of her engage. Just be very mindful of where you place your E, it will change everything in this matchup.

Brand

Brand... He just hurts. He outranges you heavily, but you have ways to stop him, although it is VERY hard to do so. Carrying Heal in this matchup isn't a good idea, because Brand will most likely bring Ignite and pop it before you can Heal. No only that, but he has a quick combo Cc, and going for Klepto Procs can be very risky. But, if you bait his stuns and dodge all of his damage, he's easily one of the less dangerous Supports.

Blitzcrank

Every other Blitz you'll see now-a-days will either land eighty percent of his hooks, or eight percent of his hooks. The eighty percent hook Blitz's aren't that threatening either, as long as you use your Silence properly (For example, if the opposing Carry is Ezreal, E him instead of Blitz).

Bard

Bard is Kind of Scary early, but he CAN'T out sustain ever. Just poke him and stay away from minions and walls or he'll stun you and engage with his Carry.

Braum

Braum is really wonky, so I'm gonna keep him in the middle for now while I seek further testing.

Lux

Lux outranges you, but you trade E's, and she can't detonate her E while she's Silenced, so you might have time to escape it while she tries to walk out of your E.

Alistar

Ali is like a Blitz that has more health and runs at you instead of making you run towards him. He's a bigger threat because of his engage potential, so watch out of his combos.

Thresh

Thresh is just another fat Blitz, but he also forces you to stay in the fight, and can let everyone and their mother engage with him, so just simply don't get hook read.

Morgana

Morgana isn't as threatening as she is with other builds, but she will still Cc you for days on end. You want to 100% dodge her Q's or her entire team will be there by the time you're half way through her stun.

Nami

Nami is a Pocket Soraka that has a stun. Woop-dey-doo. She isn't scary, just trade for pokes, you'll out damage with Q --> E.

Taric

Taric has ZERO range. Just don't let him bush whack you Lvl 1, you'll destroy the 2 v 1 lane.

Rakan

Rakan has heavy range, so be careful. His knock up isn't a skill shot either, so he can still engage through minions. Be cautious, until you see him try to knock up. His cooldowns in the early game are longer than a Morg Stun Chain, so just poke him while he's on cd.

Sona

Sona's will almost always hurt because they build off Supporty, but it's whatevs. Just stay in bush and make her waste wards, she can't hit what she can't see.

Lulu

She's Lulu, so of course she's a threat, but there are counters that will make her very less threatening. By outspacing her and disengaging when she Ults will Nerf her potential.

Shen

Shen Support is too tanky, and he blocks your ADC's autos.
