Introduction
In this build I will TRY to teach you
- positioning
- assisting
- warding
- map control
- how to not be a noob
- and most importantly keeping your carry alive
Pros
Cons
- great help to your carry
- can help your carry lane longer
- can help your carry farm better (because he/she should never be on low health)
- massive heals mid game
Cons
- you are responsible for warding
- you kinda depend on a random carry in solo queue
- impossible to carry
- you dont get alot of credit
- cant think of anymore :/ lol comment if you got any plz :)
for summoner spells i use Clairvoyance and Flash because those are the spells which seem most useful for soraka
What NOT To Take
What You CAN Take, but not very effective (if you do choose to take one of these, DO NOT REPLACE WITH Clairvoyance)
What NOT To Take
- Ignite: why? you dont need kills.
- Rally: its kinda useless...
- Smite: sorry... this is not a jungle build
- Revive: ...

items items items...... playing soraka you shouldnt get that many, but its still nice to get the right items.
so for consumable items YOU NEED TO GET WARDS( sight ward Vision Ward), i can not emphasize wards more and if you refuse to buy wards dont play Soraka.
Ionian Boots of Lucidity are good on soraka, cool downs are very important
Aegis of the Legion is also a very helpful item for reasons
-aura passive!!! its just a very good support item, i mean 12 armor AND 15 magic resist... that should be enough but PLUS a extra 8 attack damage!!!
Zeke's Harbinger is just another aura, very helpful, great item for Soraka(the reason Soraka CAN get this item is because she isnt very iten dependant) this item helps your whole team because it also reduces the armor to enemys, not to mention gives 20% attack speed and life steal. just another great item
now the rest of the items are situational
good situational items

well... i think i said enough about items :)
i MAX Astral Blessing and right after max Infuse and only get Starcall then i have to.
the reason why you DONT get Starcall is to
the reason why you DONT get Starcall is to
- Not farm (your carry needs it way more)
- you need to be agressive to use it to hit champs (agressive soraka isnt good)
- and most importantly Starcall usually steals kills (your carry needs kills WAY MORE then you do)
for laning keep you carry at high health at all times, dont farm (let your carry farm)
and try to DENY your enemies farm.
your probably thinking "soraka cant attack anything so how am i suppossed to deny farm?"
well you just hide in your bushes and when 1 of them goes up to last hit a minion
use Infuse on the enemy champ (if your carry has full mana)
then auto attack right after, they will soon give up on trying to farm, but be careful that they dont fight back.
what lane should i go to? bottom or top?
ALWAYS GO BOTTOM if you dont go bottom, you just might be soloing top :)
and you dont wanna solo top with soraka.

when you play Soraka, you mainly want to lane with a carry
but i will list a couple below for you
good champions to lane with Decent champions to lane with BAD champions to lane with

let your carry farm every minion (dont even auto attack) so your carry can get as much money as he/she can :)
the ONLY excuse for farming is if the enemy is pushing your turret (and if the turret is shooting) and your carry is not there
then auto attack a couple minions :)
you should have about 0-20 creep score at the end, if not... you farmed too much

ATM i DO NOT have a map picture so im going to try to tell you, sorry.
if you dont know where to ward, this is where in going to show you.try to keep the dragon warded the whole time, keep the bush in the river warded (or just on the river in between the bush and the dragon)
if your enemies like going into the bushes put a ward there.
do not be afraid to leave your carry to ward the whole river, just tell your carry to play it safe (or that your going on a warding adventure)
when you do ward the river there could be about 6 wards ON the river
1. by the dragon (always warded)
2. by the baron (always warded)
3. by/ in the bush near top
4. by/ in the bush near bottom
5. in the bush near the river and middle lane (optional)
6. in the other bush near middle lane (optional)
always keep an eye on the mini map, if there is a enemy about to gank anybody, ping them
(your team might not see them at first)
