This is really the issue. It doesn't matter what 6 FF champs you ban because there's 2 more people can play.

Hopefully the nerf helps.

Soraka is obnoxious holy crap, after having not played much over the past 3-4 months, her waveclear is just stupid o.O

I think I have a new midlaner to play when forced into that role...

I'm just afraid for when people remember that Xin has one of the strongest lvl 2 ganks. It has been so long since lvl 2 ganks were a thing that no one even wards for them anymore.

Am I the only one who does not see mid Soraka as broken?

She has her perks, but I feel her range is too poor and most other mid laners grossly outrange her. I can see her being strong against something like Riven and Zed (short range, physical attack) though.

Anyone saying that feral flare is fine at the moment needs to be put in a mental hospital. I've seen shyvanas being 4 levels ahead of the enemy solo laners and winning fights 1v4. The damage and sustain combined with botrk is absolutely ridiculous, any jungler that is attack speed reliant suddenly becomes a god with this item.

Oh and I forgot to mention this same shyv soloed baron at like 22 minutes. Standard I guess...

FF makes you clear too fast. I've mentioned this before, I think Riot just needs to make the damage vs monsters not scale with the stacks and it'll be fine. Making 30 stack requirement for transformation does not fundamentally solve its problem.

I think the Feral Flame passive isn't that bad, but ridiculous when combined with Wriggles.

Nerfing the bonus dmg to monsters part of Wriggles might be more effective than delaying FF upgrade.

edit: oh, didnt see above post. similar suggestion aha

Not sure if this is the right thread for this and if it is not then mods please move this.
Looking for a Silver support for our ranked 5's teams.
Needs to be vocal, don't be afraid to speak.
Our team is not extremely competitive - we want to win but having fun is always good
We are all Irish, so fluent English is necessary
Planning on playing at 7pm Irish time ( 8pm cet )

I feel I am in elo heaven right now.

Carrying the game with FF jungler/TF in mid gold is REALLY easy. I had a lot of problems in high silver/low gold because (imo) people gave up too easily / threw too often. Now that I am playing with more competent teammates (and opponents) the games actually became a lot easier.

So...

I think she's just really dumb with the new heal. Being able heal and then use Astral blessing for the full heal even if the target was ignited is pretty silly.

Solo lane Soraka is retarded. In fact, it was always retarded, it's just that her late game was countered hard by Ignite, so it was this early game cheese shit.

Now the new heal makes her late game just fine, and her season 4 changes make her early game even more retarded.

Try playing it like once vs a melee, the entire time you'll be thinking to yourself "Yeah this feels broken I shouldn't be allowed to do this."

She is definitely retarded against a melee champion (at least one that is not Rumble). I just think against ranged champions her "broken-ness" is exaggerated.

She's also really easy to gank, since part of her damage pushes the wave. I guess that's why she goes mid more, but then she has to deal with more ranged champs.

this feral flare bull shit is getting out of hand, as an ADC i wanna ban this item instead of the heroes who used it.

i would say heals are far more problematic for ADCs in this new patch than feral flare. ADC's do minimal damage to begin with, now with heals it's impossible for an ADC to kill anyone.

Previously, she was a lot easier to shut down early-on however since the game has shifted towards a more farm-heavy meta where weak early games matter less, she's just that much stronger.

Based on this assessment by Rekkles, I now run 5 flat health seals and 4 armor seals, due to the global armor buff you get similar armor as before but also 40 health, particularly nice vs mix dmg lanes. His comments are about ADC, but I think it is good on most unless you really want armor (like toplane maybe).

I've been messing around a fair bit on riven/zed mid, and the number of mid laners who now blindly run scaling health/armour or flat health seals is making level 2-3 pretty amazingly fun :D

Eh, she was seeing LCS play before 4.5 with heal changes. Soraka's always been pretty strong as a solo but meta changes making super early dominators (both jungle and laners) allowed her to be played. Season 4 changes to her scaling helped a bit too.

Got to play Flare Nocturne... wth. I mean, I got that Flare was broken, and I saw it on champions like Xin and Yi, but since I used to play some Nocturne it gave me a better understanding of what was different. For one, the added clear speed and gold received combined with the lowered cost (that's 600 gold saved, but also "gp5 passive" 600 gold earlier) and the Heal+defensive meta makes it easier to farm a BotRK on him, inherently increasing his damage.
The sustain gets pretty dumb once you start stacking flare though. I was still utterly smashing squishies (Varus, Nidalee support, LB), almost 5 shotting them if they didn't have any sustain, with only Flare and BotRK. You do as much damage as a champion building full damage, 'cept you get mercs/randuin's (later thornmail) on top of it.

My performance in fights was tied to our team too (Lulu, double heal, Vlad's ult increased my damage a bit) so obviously it heavily skews how survivable I was, but you definitely see the impact once it gets to low health fights.
36k damage to champions, 11k magic... yeah, that's not my E. ._.
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.
