Before I get serious I just want to vent for a second.
Soraka nerfs are ****ing ********
They reduced the cast range on her Q, which is okay I guess, I mean... it was pretty far. Then they made it to where her Ult doesn't remove Greivous Wounds anymore, which is extremly justifiable... because well that was kinda broken. But then.... BUT THEN these ***********ers increased the mana cost on her ****ing W by like ****ing double. ****ING DOUBLE! That **** already costs a **** ton of health, nigga. A **** ton. But now it actually costs mana? 40 ****ING MANA AT LEVEL 1!?!?!? DOES RAKA EVEN ****ING START WITH 40 MANA!!?!?!? So now not only am I out of ****ing health from healing these dumbasses all the time, but I'm also too ****ing out of mana to cast my Q on someone to heal myself, oh and even when I cast my q on someone to heal myself I have to be so close to them I end up taking more damage then I healed for anyway.
**** that ****.'
It's disgusting.
DISGUSTING
Alright, now that that's out of the way let's get serious. I need help deciding how to build around this now. I saw on probuilds awhile ago a build that was Steraks/Warmogs, and I was really, really enjoying that build. The carry potential was amazing. But like now with this nerf you're pretty mana starved early game. I was thinking about maybe rushing RoA, but like... you wouldn't really be a support until mid game, and with the low support income you wouldn't start getting stacks on it until tooooooooooooo late. So what about just buying a tear and selling it, then continue for the health, health-regen build that's been working out oh so well.
Also, I felt that nerf af today, man. We were chasing down this Malphite right? And I was thinking to myself... man if they hadn't ****ing nerfed the ballsack out of my q cast range I could 100% slow that Malph and we'd catch him. Like 100% I got Raka from zero mastery to level 5 mastery since she became broken with the greivous wounds update okay. So it's safe to say I cast her Q easily a thousand ****ing times in the past month. So I can safely 100% say that I would've been able to reach him with it had it not been nerfed out the ***. But like... that's not even the one I'm mad about. I'm mad about that W nerf, not that cast range on starcall, even though I did have that one minor annoyance with the starcall nerf today.
And don't make the argument that if you just play passively or whatever you aren't that mana starved early game, because you have two choices with raka. Try to zone, which is a lot harder with the starcall castrange nerf, or play the outfield and heal your adc while they cs. Which if you do they take so much harass that you're waiting for your mana to regen to ****ing 40 so you can cast your heal again. So your basically either forced to back extremely often because of the amount of harass you take and leave your adc alone in lane.... or you can force your adc to have to back all the time, causing them to miss cs/exp and leaving you all by yourself, a squishy little Raka with no mana to defend the turret all by her lonesome. So like... opinions or what?

It's a ****ty nerf, but it doesn't need to necessarily be reverted. It just means you have to be especially conscious with your Q spam in lane, and before team fights (that is, before you get your
