He has a lot of damage to burst you down and some bonus movement speed to kite you. But you can see where his axes going so you can aim your Q's pretty well, just make sure not to get sprinted by him and his support as they can demolish you very fast if you are careless. Smart harassing is the way to win.
Aphelios
He quite a powerhouse but needs some heal to keep him alive. You two fit well together :)

Introduction

Hwansang player introduction |
Hello, my summoner name is Hwansang.
There has been ups and downs in my climb. I usually peak a rank and then stop playing for a while, maybe dip into low elo just to climb again :)
I started playing around 2021 September, closed S11 in Platinum I. but in S12, I reached Diamond IV in 150 games, playing 99% Soraka with a nice 62% win rate and started climbing up to Masters.
Win ratio and ranklist
More importantly I played 95% of my games solo, which makes my winrate and accomplishments a bit more serious.
Performance summary compared to Masters
Pros / Cons
|
PROS
+ Early lane dominance if played well
+ Strongest healing sustain support in the game! + Global ultimate to help your team wherever you are + Easy to play + Kinda slippery with the QE combo and bonus ms Soraka does also blend in well almost any type of team and does well against any enemy setup. This is due to the fact that health is vital to every champion, so basically every champion benefits from the heals she gives. Same with the bonus movement speed from Rejuvenation and last but not least Equinox is a very powerful tool in her kit, you can use it for cc chain, cancel enemy spells, summoners, casting zoning etc. |
CONS
- You are the number one kill priority for the enemy team
- Enemy tend to build anti-healing item ASAP - Squishy - Limited engage and disengage possibilities- Kind of skillshot reliant with Q In some cases picking Soraka can lead to lack of cc, tanks, or engages. Make sure to communicate with your team in champion select, always pre-show what you want to play and aim to set up a good composition. If you are playing Soraka you must know that the enemy team will most likely to focus you down so try to play accordingly. Safe when you need to, aggressive when you can!

Early game
INVADES
You arent as good as a Nautilus in terms of invade capability, but your Qs do a lot of damage, slow and sustain you as well OR you can choose to level E first if your team can land a CC and this guarantees another root as well as silence.
TRAPS
I usually try to fight the enemy bot lane level 1. A really good method is to buy Sweeping Lens and wait the enemy in tribush/river bush.
Keep in mind that you usually cant kill them as you are close to the enemy jungler but you can chunk them down and dominate the lane since now you have control over the lane until they are forced to back.
LANING PHASE
Early game is where you shine and win the lane so try to dominate it and snowball the game - this is why I put 3 points in Q before I start to max W, to utilize my early game dominance and apply pressure on the enemy.
If you have easy matchup go ahead and harass the enemy early game - keep in mind that your falls off as you go later in to the game so try to play safer as the game progresses.
I would say lvl 1-6 is your playground after that you are getting outdamaged by most supports, or if you have dominated you can expect enemy jungler showing up really soon.
After lvl 6 always check the other lanes in case somebody need your ultimate. A good ult can change the outcome of fights and win your ally the lane.
Keep in mind that helping your team with your ultimate has the cost that now you can hardly win 2v2.
Also around level 6 you can roam to mid or even top if you think it would be benefital and your adc wont suffer your abscence.
Try to help your jungler when he is near with scuttle fights, counter-jungling or river skirmishes.
Even some wards around the river can help a lot for your jungler and mid laner.

VISION GUIDE
Mid game
Well you are gonna start putting points in W now, so you are losing on damage, but gaining healing powers.
Mid game is already more about macro.
Try to predict the path of the enemy jungler, play around objectives and dont let the enemy take any objectives for free. Even if your team is heavily scaling at least try to push or farm as much as possible if they group up for an objective.
If there are 2 objectives up and you cant fight the enemy take one of them while they are taking the other.
It is your responsibility to make and maintain vision around objectives so your team wont run into a trap. It is really hard for the enemy to contest any objectives without vision.
You should also show up mid and top quite few times now as towers start to demolish, make your presence where your team need it the most.
Keep in mind, wherever you are your ult can still help any ally globally.

Late game
Late game is all about vision, objectives and teamfight.
Continue to make the right decisions in terms of macro. Set up the vision before engaging any objective.
Be VERY aware of enemy traps, when warding or travelling from A to B.
One small mistake can lead to your death and the end of the game.
Try to stick to your team and play for your carries.

Tips and tricks
Tips & tricks:
-If your Q hits more opponents you do not gain more HoT but after every incoming Rejuvenation the HoT gets reset. This means it will last a very little bit longer than it is with 1 target.
-HoT from Q applies after the rejuvenation reaches Soraka, but if you use W before the rejuvenation reached you, your ally still gets the HoT.
-Aery apples shield to only 1 ally who is either the lowest health or the first player on the tab list (often times top laner).
-Soraka R is instant. It heals everyone instantly, and then the animation happens.
-Soraka gain rejuvenation from Q even if it was blocked with a spellshield.
-When trying to run away from enemies you have to place your E in front of them so that it stuns them right when they walk in it. It takes practice because the faster the opponent the further you have to place it in front of them, they might just see it and go around. Use your Q to help yourself, when doing a QE combo, Q on enemy, and place E where you expect him to be. You can use this to disengage (when being chased) or to engage(when you chase the enemy).
Use your W mostly after hitting a Q, it is better because it will apply a HoT but also if you have Moonstone it will deal a greater heal.
-Appearently your E does not stop the enemy from smiting and doesnt affect Olaf in his ultimate.
