3 Minute Soraka Guide - A Guide for League of Legends

0:00Why play Soraka support? Well, she is an

0:02amazing healer. She's a very aggressive

0:05laner. She brings a silence to the team

0:07and her global heal is amazing. However,

0:09she is very skill shot reliant and you

0:12can almost guarantee your opponents will

0:13have Grievous Wounds. Soraka's passive

0:16is she gains 90% bonus movement speed

0:18when running towards an ally below 40%

0:20of their health. Soraka's Q places down

0:22a circle on the floor. Then after a

0:24short delay, all enemies within take

0:26damage and are slowed. The closer that

0:28Soraka places down the circle to

0:29herself, the faster it deals damage. If

0:31this hits at least one enemy champion,

0:33Soraka is granted rejuvenation for 2 and

0:351/2 seconds and rejuvenation causes her

0:37to heal over the time and gain bonus

0:39movement speed. Soraka's W is the heart

0:42of her kit, which is a point and click

0:43ability on an ally champion which heals

0:45them. This ability costs Soraka both

0:47mana and her own health to use. However,

0:49if she's recently landed Q and has got

0:51the rejuvenation buff, when she uses

0:53this, the health cost is massively

0:54reduced and she also grants the

0:56rejuvenation buff to her ally. Soraka's

0:58E places down a circle on the floor,

1:00which deals damage to enemies within and

1:01silences them. Then after 1 and 1/2

1:03seconds, if an enemy is within the

1:05circle, they become rooted. Soraka's

1:07ultimate is a global ability which heals

1:09all allies on her team. If the ally is

1:11below 40% of their maximum health, the

1:13heal is increased by 50%. This ultimate

1:16from very early in the game can be

1:17massively game changing. For combos,

1:20very simply start Q and E before

1:21attacking away, healing your allies as

1:23often as possible. For match-ups, Soraka

1:25is great into aggressive engage supports

1:27as she's great at poking them down with

1:29Q and keeping her carry alive if they

1:30land the all in. However, she can

1:32struggle into enchanters who just

1:33provide more value in team fights. For

1:35runes, take this. Aery makes everything

1:37you do better. For build order, start

1:39World Atlas and pots and upgrade into a

1:41Dream Maker before grabbing a Moonstone

1:42Renewer. From here, a Redemption and

1:44Dawncore are great pickups before

1:46finishing your build with any of these

1:47as needed. For skill order, start Q then

1:49W then E before maxing W then Q then E

1:51and taking ult whenever you can. For

1:53summoner spells, take Flash and Heal.

1:55For synergies, Soraka is amazing with

1:57hyper carries as she's just great at

1:58keeping them alive while they win the

2:00fight for you. Starting the game, you're

2:01looking to make life as easy as possible

2:03for your carry and as difficult as

2:04possible for the enemy. Especially for

2:06the first few levels, you can play

2:08incredibly aggressively. Getting up into

2:10your opponent's face makes landing your

2:11Q very simple. And once it's hit, not

2:13only is it great damage, but the heal

2:15you can give to your carry is so much

2:17value. Of course, this is on top of the

2:18rejuvenation buff healing both of you on

2:20top of it. Otherwise, as strange as it

2:22sounds, you normally want your carry to

2:23be taking most of the damage because as

2:25long as they don't die, you can just

2:27heal them back up. So, any damage they

2:28take is incredibly inefficient for the

2:30enemy team. And of course, once you get

2:32level six, you can now make global

2:33healing plays. Entering the mid game,

2:35you want to take your tower as soon as

2:36possible and rotate mid with your carry.

2:38This will put two strong champions in

2:39the center of the map while your carry

2:41keeps scaling. Entering late game team

2:42fights, you want to play as the backline

2:44enchanter. Just absolutely spam heals

2:46into your team. And when someone goes

2:48below 40% health, use your ultimate to

2:49keep them alive. Otherwise, a good

2:51silence is your main skill expression

2:53for massive value while constantly

2:54spamming out Qs. That's how to play

2:56Soraka support. Leave the video like and
