Manu Wrote:At least around 1350, it's mostly soraka, sona, taric. Then I would say Janna and Alistar after those.

lorx Wrote:iirc for tournament play it's something like sona>soraka>janna>alistar>everybodyelse, but I can't remember for sure. I haven't seen too many Alistar players in tournaments, probably because top/jungle tanks are so common.

You guys knew I'd be sad when they nerf soraka and I will be for sure. Odds are good though that they will simply increase her mana cost on W which is fine by me, it had a fake mana cost anyways.

SolicShooter Wrote:Riot is searching in the wrong places in my opinion for the support issue. They shouldn't nerf current supports like Sona or Soraka but should instead buff the utility on Champions like Lux or Orianna so they can rival Janna and Alistar.

Quote:They're ignoring that Soraka can't do anything by herself because her q gets maxed so late compared to sona's q and janna's bonus shield AD.

Quote:Her heal also has a long cooldown and the armour buff on it is a big deal, using it every time it's off cd isn't the best approach usually so it requires some actual thinking. Sona does it all but none of it amazingly.

lorx Wrote:Hate that .

Janna would be really good if she had a heal besides her Ult. Since she has to protect her carry preemptively rather than retroactively it makes her not a really solid pick. Now if they let her slow-bird go to allies to heal&speed them (kayle-style?), that would be nice.

KajitiSouls Wrote:I think Lux is in a fine spot. She mixes offensive power with utility, and her ability to poke in lane is rather frightening. Granted, it's no Cassiopeia level of harass, but she does it from a safe distance and somewhat easily too.

SolicShooter Wrote:On to another topic, how do you guys build your Soraka and Sona nowadays. After possible nerfs incoming I've decided imma marathon these champs for the weekend. On Sona I get fairie charm + 3 wards (1 purple) + health pot into philo, HoG, Merc treads, Chalice, HoG, Solari, Randuins, Shureilia's rarely get beyond this point but probably some aura items. Aside from the obvious skill leveling do you get heal or speed up first after the first point? On Soraka I go regen pendant+ward into philo, HoG, Merc treads, Shurelia's, HoG, Solari, Randuins, Abyscell scepter, Frozen heart, Rylai's. Aside from the obvious again do you get a point into star call early? If so, why? Do you use your ultimate to get assists even though your heal isn't needed at all?
