Awful post. I find it mildly distressing that is popular.

Man ranked can be so upsetting sometimes. My duo friend and I literally crush botlane. I'm talking zoned from creeps for a good 3 minutes 3 levels up, the whole deal. We take tower and try to go mid to help our struggling teammates and have a decent enough midgame (we take baron at exactly 15 minutes.)
Easy game right? No way they have any chance of coming back from such a huge deficit right?
Wrong.

I finally understand what Rex was talking about when he said that almost every Plat player is a fool who think they are the only ones on their team who can carry and that their teams are worthless baggage. I haven't met such an uncooperative team in a very long time. Everyone just keeps running off to go farm sidelanes when a fed Tryn is running amok killing them in 4 hits. Instead of grouping and rotating on open objectives.
Ah well, at least my rewards are secure and I don't need to worry about this game for bit.

kayle has a laser?
huhh what are you even talking about now
yeah those games are depressing
that's why i try to preach against the whole "ranked gauges your ability to solo carry" idea, specially since i think it's super wrong
it's surprising how much of a crutch you are for your team if you're one of those ppl with that mentality

Thank god riot has a daily limit on those mystery gifts. I went full skinner box and just kept clicking buy buy buy.
i really wish rito had given me a single good mystery skin to reel me in some more
like so far i've gotten green ashe, green soraka and that anivia skin with an exhaust pipe up her ass which wouldn't be so bad if i didn't already have blackfrost
give me syndra or something, get me to spend some money, rito

Inhibitor respawn timers. About time we got these
There's always one or two special snowflakes that dislike reworks because they take away something meaningless. Soraka is and has always been a healer, but of course people will complain about losing the least interesting part of her kit.

That's a really nice change. No more inhibs ninjaing the nexus destruction.
Yeah, I dunno if I've ever seen a rework mess up a champion as much as Soraka. Not that she was amazing to begin with but she is just so low impact that it is almost painful to try and watch her contribute to games. It's clear that they tried to figure out a spell cycle that allows her to trade in lane in a manner that isn't supposed to be frustrating for either player, but once an actual fight breaks out she just seems lost. No pick potential, and no disengage either. Once an ally is caught there is little Soraka can do to save them now that her heal lacks any potency or armor. She's just...helpless, and it gets worse if she's the one that is targeted.

Hurricane Kayle. The ball just shoots pew pews everywhere.
BTW: Whenever I'm on my pc, I type really fast and I kinda get salty from league. So I may not type things as clearly as intended.
Yes.
About this:
So if someone is below 40% health, you can run to them quickly to heal, in addition to doing a boosted healing amount with your ultimate. I think the goal of those features was to make it so that Soraka can get to and heal a low-HP champion.
Best interaction with Aatrox is seeing one and dodging the game.
that's how i feel about sivir
Haha.
Providing health can definitely be helpful, but when you're talking about saving people a huge factor in that is mitigating incoming damage and peeling targets. If you can't create separation between vulnerable carries and enemy champions they are still often in danger.

Just tried new Soraka in a bot game.
The range of her heal is pretty sad. Sure the extra movement speed is nice if you're speeding to save someone, but 2500 range isn't a lot and you have to get really close.
Had mana problems by spamming E and the occasional Q. In a real game I won't be as aggressive but since you need to hit Q every so often to self-heal you have to play smart (and kind of passive). The snare on E is okay but silence does nothing to an ADC that relies on AA and any mobile champ will avoid the snare.
The particles on Q are just weird.
You're basically forced to build Talisman for the health regen. Could also build Locket for more regen.
EDIT: Rugged Garen fml

Your position in queue....1. Wait time: 30 minutes. Whut?
feelings being hurt
i think the problem with this is that it doesn't matter how much you can heal if ppl get bursted down before you can heal them, specially when the one that's getting killed is her
i'd like to see how she does, maybe she won't be the most interesting champion but some ppl like that style and if it's not unfun for the ppl around her and it's not super op/up i'd say it's ok even if it's not stellar

At least your not the person who got lollipoppy.
Sometimes, no matter how heavy a team might be, you just have to carry.

I feel that they should at least just change the cost to curhp%. :/ It still solves the problem of her being a walking pot in lane and infinite sustain in teamfight standoffs.

Anyone ever considred building Blue Chalice on Swain? Or at least Red Chalice as a final defensive item?
Is that Jungle Garen, or did you build 1 weapon and the rest tanky items?
The 3 mystery skins I got were Sorceress Lux, Badger Teemo and Red Dress Miss Fortune.
I don't like them...
I want Lollipoppy =_=
New Garen, and that's with a totally legit, non-HP stacking build like 6 Warmogs.

It doesn't though. Making it current health will just mean that Soraka can never run out of heals. The cost is supposed to make her be forced to back of she uses too much. It's the whole point of the rework.
This isn't any different than now...? No doubt those tools are really strong and always in the meta, the worst case for this rework is that people go back to not picking Soraka.

I actually had a friend to who thought that was a good idea. Its alright, mana from spells is non existent, ult doesnt really fare better, but the slot could always be used for more Ap.
Blue Chalice
Red Chalice
Can't be arsed to remember their full name.
Gotta get on that 600 ap club.

^I liked the idea of Spirit Visage as a final item since he'd have more health,a little extra, cooldown, high Magic Resist, and the passives improve his Ulti's healing.
...but them mana issues, sometimes I'd finish a battle against enemy champs with 1/4 health then in a 2nd engage I activate ulti, kill maybe 1 champ then I find out I'm out of mana and gotta back out lol.
I've not used Garen in a while and just got back into using him, so I'll consider putting more time into using him at Top. Were your tank items stuff like Randuin+MG Resist Item+warmog?

"Sion charges an extremely long distance, only stopping once he hits an enemy champion, wall, or reaches the end of his charge. If he hits a wall, Sion stuns himself briefly and deals area of effect damage around him."
... I need to know if I can stop Sion's ult with Trundle's Pillar, what with the champion-made terrain changes from last patch.

Well, last three Sona games for my marathon ended in loses. First two my ADC and I won lane well enough but the others fed. Last game I had with me the worst Miss Fortune I've seen in a long while. Completely clueless. Had to suffer through "my snowball champs suck, theirs are good" syndrome in all three matches. Sign. That's life I guess.
Ah well, support marathon is done. Onto other things now.

I hope not. He should bust though that shit like the juggernaut
@dimb: isn't soraka's silence field still instant? I'd imagine it'd be a pretty big adc lifesaver if you could predict the Assassin jumping in and give them a face full of silence
