They reduced her starcall mana cost to make up for it. It was pretty stupid for Soraka not to have to worry AT ALL about mana. I find that even when I'm not giving mana back to myself it still takes me a long time to run out. Saying you have to build Tear isn't really true. If you are mid you could just get blue buff like other mids, or build catalyst.

I think changing this aspect of her will make her a less healbot champ, and you have to think a little more when using her both as support and solo.
Thanks to GrandMasterD for my sig!

So let me get this straight. Soraka can either give her ally mana, or herself mana? Or only her ally? :S Because they would really have to reduce the cost of healing.

Imo, nerf was justified, when I was facing a Soraka it makes a boring lane, because she has a 'unlimited' resource on healin while other support should think about mana management. Making the lane uber passive. Now that Soraka can't give herself mana she now has to think about healing or harrasing. She is still great in combination with Graves or Caitlyn, only know she has a weakspot. Though they maybe will buff her next patch (decrease on spellscost I dunno)

With all due respect to those who played her in a solo lane, that was never really her job anyway. The fact that it worked was fun, but she was originally designed as a support and that's what she does now.

Having said that it's a bit weird to lower the mana cost on Starcall to 'make up' for not being able to give yourself mana, because Soraka doesn't really use Starcall normally.

She was one of the strongest supports though and was often picked in competitive play as well as in my games recently on the EUW server, so I don't think she will suck at all and I'm a bit surprised about others thinking that she will... :S

She will be able only to give mana to others. She won't be able to replenish her own mana anymore.
