Other guesses: Taric: Q: CD increased to 20, CD reduction changed to 2 on champions, 1 on non-champions ala Skarner E: Max stun reduced to 1.5 seconds, damage range narrowed. R: Made somehow more worthless without fixing what's bad about it Shen: Passive: same as above, a viability buff for an under-represented champion Janna: NOTHING LOL, no lane heal = balanced. edit: On August 16 2011 12:46 Fishcakes wrote: Umm looks like soraka buffs too me. Trade AP ratios on a babysit support for 125 armor (80+45) for 5 seconds. Take that any day. Except over any decent amount of time, the healing lost is massive. You'll very rarely get a second heal off during a single engage, and your healing for a push is almost halved at 0 AP (more the more AP you get). Soraka needed a tweak to her heal to make it not infinitely spammable in lane, not this. | ||

Zil, Janna, Taric, Karma, maybe blitz, is there even anyone else? Yea its a damned shame at how they want to totally crush Soraka like that. Its been in the works for quite a while though sadly. They want the player to feel great for having that ONE clutch heal. I guess though its not final so who knows what will go live, they are just changing way too much with her. | ||

Now they took out her late game, but buffed her early game. Her heals still heal for similar making her similar in laning, but stronger with the armor buff on the heal. That shit is imba. Mid game, you can get the 120 armor, cast it on someone, make them physical dmg immune pretty much, and just rape face. Soraka's going to be stronger early-mid game, and a true support. Not a support with imba late game scaling on heals. you mean they hit the three places that are her only strengths | ||

When your team doesn't farm and gets out of position there's really nothing you can do as support ^_^ I've had much more success playing solo top cause it's so easy to snowball when the enemy is bad. You don't. Support only magnifies a team. | ||

OK. I am playing League of Legends. I am the first pick for my ranked team, and I am picking a character for myself. One of my teammates tells me to pick Mordekeiser for him, but I told him I didn't have Morde. He kept asking over and over, and I kept saying I don't have him. I locked in my character, and the opponents started picking. Only then did I realise it was free week for Mordekeiser and everyone had access to him. *facedesk* | ||

Personally I think Soraka is the most boring champion to play with Sona a close second, so I'm glad they're thinking of large scale changes to them. | ||

Zil, Janna, Taric, Karma, maybe blitz, is there even anyone else? What I think riot is trying to do is they are trying to break and/or curb the current meta. The change to sona will hurt her early game sustain, but ultimately (if you actually buy AP) will generate more healing power. There are two problems with the current meta that I can see from Riot's perspective: 1. Supports, particularly healers, get too much for free; meaning that supports simply build GP10 and maybe 1 item and someone like soraka heals for near 700 on her ult. I think they are trying to force supports to actually buy items. 2. The current meta is boring to watch for spectators. Simply put, at the highest elos, the bottom lane (barring taric isn't there) is a snooze-fest of afk farming which will generate little excitement for anyone watching. That is a severe problem for a game that is an up and coming esport. | ||
