Hello there!

I've been playing LoL since a quite few years now ( I think, 2019 it's 6 or 7 years..!) and I discovered Soraka a few seasons ago.
I just LOVE her. She can do a lot damage and heal a lot of fking damage taken. It's great.

With this build I want to show you how to give Soraka some tanky items and f**k the game.
You may ask... huh? Soraka and TANK? - Lemme say: Yep. It works.

Soraka heals taken damage in percentage to her life. More life - more healing. Also, the supps are always the first to be killed, so you can prevent that too.

I really hope this build will help some of you, please feel free to tell me what you think!

Inspiration

Kleptomancy:
By attacking enemy champions and casting spells (on them) you will earn gold, what is great, because you will cast lots of spells during the game.

Magical Footwear:
I really like this because it's free boots. Who doesnt like free boots? After 10 minutes you receive the magical footwear, but can also sell them and buy another pair.

Biscuit Delivery:
Every 3 minutes you receive a biscuit which restores health and mana. This is important because of the W (healing spell). You heal with your own life, so having a little extra is just fine.

Cosmic Insight:
Just for lots of Cooldown Reduction.

Resolve

As the title says, this is a guide to a tanky Soraka Support.
Resolve gives you additional life and armor.

Revitalize:
This rune heals and shields you.

Conditioning:
Gives you addional armor and magic resistance.

Starting with the usual support iteams like Redemption (for mana regeneration, cooldown and healing aspect) and Remnant of the Watchers (i mostly use it for the wards you get), there are so many item options for Soraka.

This build is mostly for cooldown reduction, mana regeneration and health.
All of the items I usually use for Soraka are used for that, but a little extra AP isn't bad at all.

Core Items:

My personal favourites as core items are:

Ardent Censer

Apart from everything I mentioned before, you also receive +8% MS, PLUS healing and shielding you and allies, based on level.
Its one of the items, I ALWAYS take with me when playing Soraka because it has so many beneficial effects.

Warmogs Armor

Also has CDR, Health Regen and gives you 800 health. The passive of it is that it restores your health over time. And for a champion that looses health with healing others, this item is just perfect.

Shurelya's Reverie

Addional AP, Health and Mana Regen. It also grants CDR and Movement Speed.
When casted, it grants +40% MS for you and nearby allies, what is so helpful when trying to flee from enemies.

You can choose Situational Items according against what you play. Abyssal Mask, Spirit Visage and Banshees Veil against heavy AP enemies.
Dead Mans Plate is useful against heavy AD.

Twin Shadows, Luden's Eco and Liandry's Tornment are just optional, you can coose if you want extra health, extra Ap and so on, and so on. You can decide what fits best into the gameplay. (I usually go with Liandry's because I enjoy the extra life.)

In case you need more utility, I highly recommend Locket of the Iron Solari and Zeke's Convergence.
