you're on your way young padawan, you picked the best skin, I am proud haha poppy was my very first champion ever, i've had her since the beggining which was about 3 and a half years ago now, still my favorite (with lulu being somewhat tied((but not exactly on the same levels with poppy she is bae <3)) hehe )
Do you like tank raka or do you just play standard raka?
Personally I've seen tank/supp raka who heals the same but doesn't die so when the enemies have to focus you to actually kill someone, they can't very easily
Why would you build tank raka? You're LOSING percent hp with your W, and gaining flat hp back with your Q. Mathmatically the less hp you have the better your survivability is.
The point isn't based around your heals, its based around how easily they can kill you. I also never said hp tank, cuz resistance based tank raka is the stronger version.
But the point isn't to be a tank, its to be tanky enough to not be blown up by anyone with a bit of burst, making it harder for their team to kill you so your heals are used more during the fight to keep people alive.
That's the problem, raka would be amazing against dive comps if she had sustainability, otherwise she just dies. I'm assuming you mean dive comps cuz I'm not sure what other team comp could destroy a raka in the back line without a second thought.
I'm personally not a fan of the tankraka build because I feel like I'm losing opportunities to gain AP which I find vital. But with items like Zeke's Harbinger coming onto the field I've been having some second thoughts.
So in the end, if you can make it work who am I to complain?
all she can do is heal, at the expensive of her own health. she provides no utility, no reliable cc, no reliable damage, the only thing she's got going is her global presence, which is always nice.
Its true but she can heal anyone out of a bind. Plus during teamfights if you don't take her Down first, you probably won't be taking anyone down at all.
I will admit, though, she probably fits more into a team que rather than a solo que.
when it comes to keeping someone alive, i just prefer shen. shen support is my **** . he's tanky, can initiate with actual reliable cc, can sustain his adc, and save his ass, or anyone else's, globally with his ult.
shen is like, a ninja non horse version of soraka, but better
**** dude i wasnt even playing while soraka was meta. i used to like her when she was just a heal bot with mana giving abilities and gave it to herself too, now she's just "TOO" versatile
point of the matter is that her kit is way too overloaded, so it has to have low numbers to compensate. her only real ability is her W now, all her other spells which would be godly on anyone else are useless cause she cant use them properly
d5 mid main, and imo soraka has just about the best raw power of any support. Her ability to reliably keep a team healthy when played well makes her incredible at peeling for her carry early game and even better at keeping the tank alive late. she is entirely viable.
in this meta? not a chance. sure she can heal you back up, but she cant do anything beyond that. she relies on you to carry her. tank supports, like shen, nautilus, and leona, are just so much better cause instead of having to heal the carry for all the damage he's taken, you can just mitigate that damage by keeping the enemy stunned, or dead, cause you actually deal damage
idk what kind of **** sorakas you've been seeing, but when played well she can make her adc immune to anyone that wants to dive the back-line with her silences and heals. Additionally, she can make any tank have as much healing as mundo, letting her front liners never need to die.
if only soraka could heal herself, and her heal didnt cost ******* health, she'd be actually played. otherwise she's just a sponge that the enemy can just oneshot then move over to the actual champions
first, she can heal herself, idk what you think her q is for (also does decent damage i might add), she can go from half health to full with only 200 ap
aside from that, that's true of all long ranged mages, that's why they have tools to keep themselves safe, and soraka's e is as good as if not better than zyra's e
Nah man.
The zweihander is one particular kind of 2handed sword.
All zweihander is is German for "two-hander"
Not all two-handers are zweihanders, AFAIK
SMITE mentioned, swell with skill and ******** that no other MOBA would ever tolerate.
Seriously, I've always wondered. What would happen if a hero or champ in another game had the same abilities as a SMITE god? Like Thanatos and his ability to instakill you when you're at 30% health or Xzibits' ability to make everyones' screen go black for 5 seconds. **** would cause more butthurt than anal beads made of sandpaper. It'd probably get nerfed into the ground within a week.
No, no, no. You don't seem to understand. Garen and Darius simply deal a lot of damage with their ults. Thanatos instakills you. It doesn't matter if your max health is 1000 or 5000 - if you're below a certain percentage (24% at level 1, 40% at max), he instantly kills you. You could have 2000 damage left and as long as it's 39% of your max HP, you're instantly dead. And Nocturne makes you screen darker. Xzibit makes your screen black. Pitch black. As in, you can't see anything at all. No vision for 5 seconds. You could be walking into the middle of the enemy team while trying to run away and you wouldn't even know. That's how blinds work in SMITE. If you're blinded your screen literally turns white or black and you (the player) physically can't see **** .
Man
Whenever I see leona players behave in a less than exemplary manner, it darkens my heart
She deserves better than to handled with anything less than barbarian ferocity or military care
