Soraka crit might seem dumb but it has its fair share of strengths. Sorakas Q has a high base damage and even if you dont build ap beyond dorans ring its still strong early. Youre ofcourse very gankable so stay on the watch and just try to outrange your enemy with your Q. Your E is great if your enemy tries to trade early. Try to communicate with your team when to ult and youll be their best friend. Just get your first item and boots as quick as possible and trust me you will dominate in most match-ups especially in the top lane. In team fights and late game never leave your team since soraka is just generally very squishly. Be the back line carry your team deserves.
