Hello there people,

Just wanna ask for a viable soraka choice of items. should i focus on cdr or ap more? ap gives more heal but cdr spams heal more often. I would like an in depth opinion about this cause she seems to lack in many situations.

Thanks

CDR/aura is the way to go on MOST champions but obviously get some AP. I'm not a Soraka expert so I won't say any more.

I think stronger heals (more AP) are superior. Doesn't mean you shouldn't get CDR though.

Well Soraka has to be quite tanky usualy, so i would agree with Jebus that aura soraka is great since usualy aura soraka is by definition quite tanky.
Morelo tome with AP+CDR is quite ok for her if you cant decide... giving both.

Yeah, you shouldn't forget about survivability either like on almost any champion.

A combo of AP/CDR is the best imo

AP isnt that needed as long as you stay alive. Her AP ratios are quite low and it is better to stay alive and throw heals/silences even on base numbers and soaking some damage isntead of throwing 1-2 heals and die.

At least that is my choice for Soraka playstyle... but than again... i suck soooo hard at playing supports...

Clearly the answer lies with AD Soraka. >3>

All but one of her AP ratios is over 50%, and starcall is more for farming/harassing than anything else anyways. Both of her healing abilities have really high AP ratios so decent AP is always a must. Spamming heals constantly whether you have high CDR or not with drain your mana. Building a combo will give you good enough heals not to have to spam. I build a full AP build and can usually heal enough back to keep my team pushing for much longer than I should have been able to. CDR is great on Soraka, but imo you shouldn't chose a CDR build over an AP/CDR build.

I think soraka should be more focused on AP than most other supports. You can't forget about items like aegis though, you are still a support and at least aegis should be gotten.
