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.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.
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.Support Soraka alone? No way!
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.Unless you're against a kill lane or expecting an encounter from their jungler, using it everytime it is off CD is the best answer. Kill lanes are admittedly the best way to combat Soraka + carry combo, or otherwise it mostly gets reduced to a farm fest.
Also, the usual response when you feel threatened and may lose is to play more safely or withdraw. Down and hurting? No problem, just wait for Soraka healing and be fine. It only comes up more often than minion waves do.
