Soraka

The mechanic

Soraka heals allies continuously, including from across the map with her ultimate. Without healing reduction, a fight against her team is unwinnable.

Why it needs saying

The champion that best explains why the items category exists: the counter is a cheap item, and nobody buys it because nobody knows how to ask for it.

When you play them

  1. team chat

    what you type

    low hp i can heal you

    in full english

    You're low, I can heal you.

    the context

    "hp" is hit points. "low hp" stands alone as a call for caution. Range is the constraint allies forget most often.

When an enemy plays them

  1. team chat

    what you type

    buy antiheal they have soraka

    in full english

    They have a Soraka, someone needs grievous wounds.

    the context

    The highest-value call on this whole site. A team without anti-heal against Soraka literally cannot win a fight, and usually works that out twenty minutes too late.

  2. team chat

    what you type

    focus soraka first

    in full english

    Focus Soraka first, we can't kill anyone through her.

    the context

    "Through" here means getting past an obstacle: kill through her healing, damage through the shield. A very common construction for whatever is cancelling your damage.
