Soraka’s performance and how players have utilized her abilities hasn’t been optimal. So we’re making some adjustments to make her ap-peel-ing and perform better in games!

The queen of bananas has been performing well in some ranks, but is still struggling in higher levels of play. To help Soraka players go toe to toe with some of the other supports, we’re giving her heals a little extra oomf.
Starcall
- Total heal increased from 60/80/100/120 to 60/90/120/150.
- Total heal AP ratio increased from 35% AP to 45%.
Astral Infusion
- Base heal reduced from 90/130/170/210 to 70/110/150/190.
Soraka’s performance later in the game is higher than we believe is appropriate, so we’re cutting down on her higher than normal levels of durability for an enchanter.
Stats
- Health growth reduced from 115 to 104.
Starcall
- Updated Empowered VFX across all skins.
Soraka is one of the champions that benefited the most from our Ultimate Cooldown reductions last patch, especially for her tanky builds that lean heavily on Wish’s base values. We’re going to shift some power into the Ability Power ratio to make sure Soraka is rewarded for building magic damage.
Wish
- Base heal reduced from 150/250/350 to 150/225/300.
- Heal AP ratio increased from 40% AP to 45%.
Wish
- Cooldown reduced from 100/90/80 seconds to 85/80/75.
Soraka has been a strong support pick across all levels of play due to the reliable healing she provides to her team. While we enjoy seeing Soraka reign on the Rift as a premier healer, we think her ability to sustain herself and her allies is currently too strong. We’re toning down the power of the Rejuvenation effect that Soraka gains from her Starcall ability.
Starcall
- Total heal reduced from 60/90/120/150 to 60/80/100/120.
- Total heal AP ratio reduced from 40% AP to 35%.
Compared to her fellow enchanters, Soraka is struggling to keep up. We’re improving her ability to reach low health teammates and giving a boost to her Rejuvenation healing that she provides to herself and her allies.
Salvation
- Bonus movement speed increased from 70% to 100%.
Starcall
- Total heal increased from 50/70/90/110 to 60/90/120/150.
- Total heal AP ratio increased from 35% AP to 45%.
- Rejuvenation self duration increased from 2 seconds to 2.5.
- Cooldown reduced from 7.5/6.5/5.5/4.5 seconds to 7/6/5/4.
Astral Infusion
- Rejuvenation ally duration increased from 2 seconds to 2.5.
Soraka is a premier healer, but has still been lagging behind her fellow enchanters. We want to improve her ability to sustain her allies while also making the trade off of sacrificing her health more rewarding.
Astral Infusion
- Base heal increased from 80/120/160/200 to 90/130/170/210.
Soraka is falling off a bit too much in higher levels of play after our last round of changes. We want her to have a higher payoff when she is successful at popping her only hard crowd control.
Astral Infusion
- Removed: Can no longer target allied clones.
Equinox
- Root duration increased from 1/1.25/1.5/1.75 seconds to 1.25/1.5/1.75/2.
The Starchild interfered with too many mortal affairs since her recent buff without risking enough. We’re tuning her down a bit so she thinks twice about rushing in to save her allies.
Starcall
- Rejuvenation self duration on self reduced from 4 seconds to 2.
- Total heal reduced from 72/90/108/126 to 50/70/90/110.
- Total heal AP ratio reduced from 45% AP to 35%.
Astral Infusion
- Rejuvenation ally duration reduced from 4 seconds to 2.
Soraka's power is hard to feel, and this is exacerbated by her constant need to sacrifice her health. This change will help skillful players that land (1) Starcall avoid the cost of spending their health too quickly to heal allies.
Astral Infusion
- Cooldown reduced from 8/6/4/2 seconds to 5/4/3/2.
- New Effect: The health cost will be reduced by 70/80/90/100% during Rejuvenation.
Soraka is a bit weaker compared to her counterparts. Giving her some more star power to help her shine as a healer and silencer.
Astral Infusion
- Base heal increased from 80/110/140/170 to 80/120/160/200.
Equinox
- Cooldown reduced from 22/20/18/16 seconds to 20/18/16/14.
