Summoner Spells
Back to Top ▲New season means new summoner spells. Soraka gets focused a lot in team fights so now I pick up barrier to help her survive longer. It also helps her 1 v 1 against an opponent with ignite.
Ignite is probably only needed if the opponent is somebody who has insane sustain like singed or if they do not have any offensive summoner spells ( maybe they take teleport ).

Runes
Back to Top ▲Starting out with 34 ap seems useful regardless of which lane you're in and the armor seems more useful.
If going mid, you might go health yellows and mr blues but I don't really think you need it.
You can solo wraiths without losing too much hp and it should give you a slight edge in lane.

Masteries
Back to Top ▲I like the armor better even when going solo mid. You could take the +5 mr if going against ap.

Could take lvl 1 heal at lvl 4 if you have a lot of mana and taking damage. The amount of harass from e is doubled from a second level so I get a second point in that before maxing q/w. Soraka is a defensive sustained damage mage so maxing w second helps her survive in team fights.

So, now I build resistances against ad ( which is why I started using armor runes and masteries even when solo mid )
Many times the opponent will only have 1 ap damage dealer or even none ( all bruisers ). The health from randiuns and rylais should be sufficient against that 1 ap, and randiuns help shut down ad. Could build ninja tabi/thornmail/zhonyas if they are all ad.
If thier solo lanes are both ap then you can build more MR.

Uh... My First game with this was top VS Rumble. Went pretty nice actually!
Ganks were a bit of a trouble but I won in the end.

In reply to your comment I think that you rate many enemies as to easy :p
It may be easy to poke them early. But a good enemy will not suicid to soraka that easy. Soraka falls off mid-lategame against some of those champs like anni,vlad,diana. Hence I rate them as medium and not easy.
However this is a good all around guide. There are many ways to play Sora.
I like your runes. Our item build is pretty different though. And I tend to need heal at lvl 3 or mostly 4.

Why do you go for Randuin's instead of Sunfire Cape? You are paying mostly for the slow and you already have a perma AoE slow with Rylai's.
Thornmail also sounds really nice, because of the MR shred on Q. Rylai's, Athene's, Thornmail, Sunfire Cape, Abyssal sounds like a strong build for heavy ad teams. (not necessarily in that order)
Against tanky teams I'd just swap out Thornmail for Liandry's.
Against heavy ap, maybe Banshee's or Bulwark.
How good is maximum cdr on Soraka? I only have 24% with the build above, but you can always get blue buff or an Elixir to (almost) cap out.

Well, randuins also gives an attack speed reduction and if you get hit by a ranged attack, then you slow them even more. Since soraka is ranged, sunfire cape would only be useful if you were in malee range. Which I guess could be the case in team fights. Idk, I just like more slows, I guess it's just a preference.
Thornmail is pretty good item if they have 2 or more auto attack based champions. I probably buy it sometimes if they are auto attack heavy.
Liandry's is just an overall good item on soraka with slows, unless they are all squishy in which case death cap would just be better.
Against ap, I think abyssal, merc threads, athene offers enough MR so that you should go for more health.
CDR is extremely strong on soraka since more starcall casts means more mr reduction. It's good to make sure you can get near max cdr with blue buff, cdr items, etc...
There are a lot of ways to play soraka, this is just what I do.

I think you have a point there. Sunfire only has 400 range even though the passive is really nice on Soraka. Also that attack speed slow on Omen, nomnomnom.
Omen seems to outshine Sunfire in team fights, but what about the laning phase? It sounds like a decent item against ad casters if you can buy it early. It has roughly the same dps as a level 2 Q.

well soraka still wants to try to keep her distance in laning phase, so sunfire passive still might not be that good.
also soraka hard counters pretty much every ad caster, seeker's armguard should be good enough.

Okay, agree'd ^^.
Are flat cdr glyphs an alternative to flat ap, if you don't go for a cdr heavy build?
Thanks for all your help and reasonings :)

flat ap is extremely useful, especially early game
without flat ap runes, you might find that 2 starcalls might leave the minion at almost no hp left, and you might miss the last hit or starcall again
