So, about that new Soraka

[quote=Queso][quote=jhoijhoi] lol, after Warlemming played Mid AP Tank Soraka 3 games in a row, Ranked (and we won each game), 4th game Soraka is first ban on the enemy team. We were 1450 elo. They were 1550. So. Soraka is being banned at 1550> elo, but not yet below 1500. [/quote] Just got out of a game from 1423, our second pick asked for her to be banned and the captain agreed. It's starting to catch on. I still haven't seen one in game yet, but I think I'm gonna try a normal soon and follow jebus's build.[/quote]

[quote=Jvstm][quote=Anandre] [quote=RoIand] Midraka is too good now. Spam Q all day for instawin. Plus that super long silence is just too useful. [/quote] No kidding. I was up against a Midraka as Annie. I had to switch lanes. Granted, I killed her first thing in team fights (and did quite handily on that front), but 1v1 was impossible. [/quote] Were you playing vs me? Haha. I pooped all over an Annie yesterday and she had to swap lanes. Then I crapped all over the replacement, too xD Also: [IMG]http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m241/Jvstm/gogosorakajpg.png[/IMG][/quote]

[quote=TheJohn][quote=Confehdehrehtheh] AP Sona is still, and always will be inferior to a support-build Sona. She's squishy as hell and now that her heal-ratio is even more ground into the dirt, you won't be saving yourself with it anytime soon. Aura-support with maxed CDR is more effective and efficient than a straight AP build. You'll get more heals out, meaning more AR/MR buffs and more charges to [[Power Chord]] which means more slows from [[Song of Celerity]], more damage mitigation with [[Aria of Perseverance]], and burst from [[Hymn of Valor]]. Maxed CDR also means more mass stuns from [[Crescendo]]. Building aura-support also allows you more flexibility in your choice of itemization considering just how many aura items there are. With an [[Aegis of the Legion]] in your core item set you'll have a well rounded defensive stat boost to everyone on your team especially once you factor in [[Aria of Perseverance]] and the rework to it. AP Sona is shit in comparison to the sheer amount of utility and survivability you could get building otherwise. [/quote] True, aura/CDR is a lot better than just AP. But idk about having Aegis as core, I prefer Shurelya's (even if it doesnt have aura). Then CDR boots, AA, Frozen Heart.[/quote]

At least one person should have it by end game.[/quote]

[quote=Jvstm]No room in my Soraka build for Aegis. I'll leave it for support champions to get. Or tanks.[/quote]

He thought that Mercs could tank all MR, but after feeding, he thought the problem was HP. He decided after to buy Hextech idk why, he was feeding anyway. And he didnt realize that they had a solid physical damage team and got FoN. Nice way to lose a match. Gonna queue dodge if I find him.[/quote]

[quote=Jvstm]Well I did the most damage on my team as Soraka, sooo...[/quote]
