To everyone who thinks the Soraka changes are bad/made her worse. You're freaking mad.
Her revamped Q is just ridiculous harass, especially in solo lane. Her heal is like the last damn thing you level now. Q harass is practically free since it costs so darn little. Even with the nerfed E you should have absolutely no problem staying in lane QQing all day unless you're taking tons of damage and have to constantly heal yourself, which shouldn't be happening since E is a freaking insta-700 range silence mini-nuke.
Yes, starcall pushes the lane, which is why you want to take solo mid, not duo bot. Mid is generally the hardest lane to gank as most junglers will have to expose themselves for a second or two before initiating onto you, which gives you ample time to fuck 'em up with ur silence. Obv, fiddle and noc can initiate onto you from out of sight range but even then, your silence does wonders.

Y-day in normal queue i had troll team so was like fk it im also gona troll and took Soraka with clarity + ignite ( Hadn't played after last patch ) . Been a while i had so mutch fun trololol . Zoned bot till their bot inhib tower hahah . Philo -> Sorcs > Abysal > Cap > C-vest > Rylies > Zonya .
Hilarity topped out when i got ambushed by Mumu / Leona / Trundle ( All tanky build ) in jungle . I kept Q spam ( had sorcs + abysal+ 10 mpen ) and juke in brush. After 5+ Q and few E they started to run , but was to late coz their m-res was down the drain and 200 dmg Q's just did obscene dmg cupled with 400 E's and ignite . Triplekill soraka made my day .
Their main sorce of dmg was mid Oriana , but E's + q's just pushed her out of any teamfight as soon as it started . I use W on myself just for the def buff so i can stay in mid of shit and spam Q .
Only 2 problems i see with New Soraka is 1) Silence shuts her down bad 2) Shes basicaly AP carrie and needs farm , good in long games when all max out , but in short games means you take farm from some1 else who moust likely would be better carrie ( Annie , brand ori etc )

Build tanky AP soraka kinda like ryze. Get lich bane : Starfall->autoattack->starfall->autoattack-> profit.
Then build Will of the ancients for 25% spell vamp. Regenerate epic amounts of health per Starfall cast. Always kill never die.

Well. When people realize Soraka is not support-only anymore, and many people try to threaten with her, they will take her seriously, and than it gets obvious, that she is still bad for anything else than support. Riot killed Soraka as a viable champion. Mediocre support, bad for anything else. Yes, even for that. Yes, even with that build.
tldr: If you dont have the element of surprise, you wont have success with non-support Soraka.

She was my most played champion season 1 (83-45 with her). I REALLY tried to do something with this new soraka but it just doesn't work, cooldown on heal is too long, ratios are too fucked up. I completly stopped playing her. Thank you for destroying my champ riot

There's no Raka like a 40% Raka with hat dfg and reverie. Get that 40% CDR and carry your team. Throw a DFG at them, reverie and chase Mashing that Q, and Nuke with that E.

Uh, Soraka is still one of the most dominating support heroes in the game. I dunno what else to say really.

Since when did you have to be top 2 to be "one of the most dominating"?

I feel your pain brother Same here, tried to make her work again, but not good. Sure, i can play her in normals sometimes, but its just not the same.

Nope. Soraka is still not a good AP carry, no matter how hard you try to show it down other people's throats.

Her heals are too rare, and she is too squishy to use q, or even e safely. Yes, sometimes it works, but most times it wont. Even Sona is better now, heal is almost the same, and those auras, that aoe stun, that movement speed.
There are not too many support heroes at all, so being 3rd (and she is NOT 3rd, i can tell you) is not really "one of the most dominating".

Soraka is nice against every non-ranged non-super-fast-burst champion [Vayne for example] in mid lane. In the first few levels the opponent simply cant outharrass her or outdamage her heal and she has her E + autoattack (into run away) harrass which wont kill them, but most likely chase them away.
Sadly this changes once anyone comes for a gank and her squishyness is her downfall once she is stunned. Its not like she gets any automatic (and increasing) bonus armor from AP like that new champion Xareth. The bonus magic resist is fixed and isnt much anyways.
So Soraka works in mid lane, but only if the opponents are dumb and send the wrong champion against her and dont gank.

Btw, why is that soraka's passive is not scaling with lvl? In lategame it gives virtually nothing.

Just played her. Got 2 warmogs after shurylas.
OH MY GOD!!
farmed crazy 4,5k hp, nobody could kill me as I spammed sooo many starfalls on them hahaha

Just had a game where our (terrible, terrible) xerath died 3 times to soraka in mid and pretty much let her free farm. (She has over 3x his cs). She got deathcap on her first time back.
She then proceeded to rape all of us. I was able to kill her (as xin) for a while, then she bought thornmail.

Thornmail on Soraka is pretty crazy with Starcall spam. Add a Sunfire and Melee AD's get stomped.

I think i could shit over Xerath with Soraka aswell.
She is actually very strong on mid but since nobody seems to realise that it means you don't just win the mid but you also make the enemy team rage against each other (amg noob loses to Soraka).
She is probably the tankiest caster given that she has incredible base stats (MR passive, armor heal).
Her strength comes from the fact that you cant exchange hits since she will just E-Q and you can't really fight a long battle since Q shredding really kicks in.
Also, forcing someone to back is a costly business and often leaves yourself at low mana and/or HP wich means when that guy comes back on the lane he is in good shape to take you down.
If you back from Soraka she can start using E and W to fix herself back into fighting shape.
It's very easy to get ahead with Soraka. Farms like a beast and fights like a beast. Also works great with another AP and she has global influence. Soraka mid has so much gold that R will at times be healing people for half their HP bar.

Are you the Garen I met "P?
Anyways, I do think the revamped soraka much better. I feel her support power is still very good when I lane with her as Caitlyn. Her Q hurts a lot and help me lower enemy hp for my sniping. Her heal add so much armour that I never lose in fire exchange.
