Introduction
Do you remember Soraka before V1.0.0.124? Before August 24, 2011? Ultimate healer, late in game giving about 500 HP every 6 seconds (with 40% CDR).
But how did Soraka change? AP ratio of heal is reduced but base heal is increased. Also, cooldown is doubled. Now your

Thank you ;)
Oh, and one more thing. It's really unusual way of building, you might not like it. But I hope your vote won't be based on whether you like it or not, but how it works. Mostly I win with this Soraka!
Having 4 or even 5 Actives is like having 8 or 9 skills! It's crazy fun and effective, with them you can win solo fights in most cases. However, it's somehow tricky to use. That's why I give you some tips to use new skills in comfortable and easy way.
Nobody clicks skill's icon on the screen right? :D You use Q, W, E and R keys. You should also use keyboard to activate your Actives.
You have 6 places for your items. They have corresponding keys:
1 2 3
4 5 6
You should re-arrange your items in backpack to choose the best key for each one. Just drag and drop it on the bot-left part of screen (not in the shop). Don't place Active on 6 since this key is less comfortable than other numbers. It's good slot to place you boots in.
I recommend you to hold:
- little finger on Q and using Active 1 with it,
- ring finger on W and using Active 2,
- middle finger on E and using Active 3,
- index finger on R and using Active 4 and 5,
- thumb activates summoner spells (D and F keys) since it's enough for one finger to use 2 or 3 keys.
Last one tip: always place the same Active in the same slot. E.g. I always place

More about Actives - later ;)
Early-game
You buy some gold items and get ready to upgrade them to Actives. You take mid lane to farm quickly or you act more like a supporter/debuffer.
Mid-game
You buy your first 2 Actives and become more agressive. You may start to gank a little. Later you also purchase the 3rd Active.
Late-game
You get the last 2 Actives and are on your full power, winning fights, greatly healing you and your allies and being really dangerous to most enemies.

The only primary mark for mages, often picked. Increases your damage output. Great rune.
Greater Seal of Replenishment
The best Seals are mana regen. My Seals gives you flat mana regen bonus. You may ask: why not mana regen/lv? Here's the answer: leveling runes are good in mid- and late-game. You may have mana problems only in early-game.


Gives you some AP. Very useful.
Don't take CDR runes! You get 30% CDR from items and 9% from masteries, it's almost 40% (limit). Later you get additional 5% from

Offensive items



Remember that Active abilities are free. Use Offensive Actives as often as you can!
I recommend to assign Offensive Actives to slots 3 and 4.
Speed modifiers




I recommend to assign Speed Modifiers to slots 1 and 2.
Zhonya's Hourglass
It makes you invulnerable for 2 seconds, but unable to take any actions. Use it when the situation is bad, e.g. enemy cast a strong spell and you want to wait until it wears off. Or maybe you're 1 or 2 seconds away from casting

It's just an addition. Heal mainly you and allied champion (the one who has lower health). You can also heal minions if you have much mana and you and allies have full HP.

You can also cast

-primarily on mages (due to silence),
-only if an enemy came near to you OR you don't need mana.

Heals all allied champions. It's important to learn how not to spam this - it's your ulti after all. Use it:
-to rescue yourself or an ally you can see nearby,
-in teamfights when most allies lose some HP,
-just when you think it's needed.
It's possible to watch allies' HP bars to the left and cast
