That opening exchange with Zac and Yone was so good! That's what confidence and a thorough understanding of the matchup looks like. Now watch me try this and get insta deleted haha
18:00 If you hit multiple people with your Q it doesn't heal you more. What happens is each of those "essence" that comes out of someone who's been hit refreshes the cooldown of your passive (the one that allows you to W without losing HP), that's all.
Hitting her q activities rejuvenation, which reads: Rejuvenation: “The target Heal power heals every 0.5 seconds and gains Movement speed bonus movement speed that decays over the duration.”The target being you, you heal yourself with the hit, then when you W you lose that Hp. Your not avoiding the loss your just using the HP you just got. If you repeatedly q on a champion you will slowly heal yourself
@@Ghostslovecupcakes You lose less HP when you W someone else (while you’ve recently hit a Q on a champ) not just because of the regen that you get, but also because the W itself will cost less HP to cast.
Im probably wrong on the time specifics because i got that from the website and not the current client so correction here :but it seems to do healing based on your ap and does it over 2.5 seconds and this does not change on how many you hit based on what i tested
@@Ghostslovecupcakes Soraka Q heals you AND lowers/completely removes (depends on how many points you have on W) the HP you use one your W. The healing part only procs once per Q, while the timer in which you can W without losing HP resets whenever the green spirit (idk how to describe it anymore it's green on the default skin) from each target gets to you. Hope that explained.
I wish that instead of challenger account troll picks in normals and stomps this was an Iron 4 to Challenger series, with a wheel spin to pick the champ he has to play mid, where after a win he gets a stored reroll token up to a max of 2 ARAM style. It would sate the "wacky mid pick" video enjoyer, but would also give the video's a target.
Im sure it would be funny to watch but imagine the poor bronze players in their promos getting rolled over by a 15 in 0 skarner mid or something. Also in Diamond+ some picks just don’t work and will tilt ur own team. Im sure pekin is aware of this and will thus not do something like this since he‘s already so careful with his teams experience in these „troll pick“ videos, even in normals.
It’s so refreshing seeing you play other champs midlane rather than usual. I think it’s nice doing so from time to time taking a break from serious challenger gameplays. Keep it up, Mr. Pekin!
People totally underestimate how nasty she is in lane, her Q spam + regen makes her unwinnable in a poke fight. I would love to see you play more of this tbh, even shurleyas roka mid and roaming is pretty effective
While I understand this is a for fun thing where you just do whatever you want, I can't see the logic behind not getting your W until you've maxed your E. The heal is still a great utility to have in a 2v2 or dragon teamfight scenario, even if it's just one point
It’s a full ap build soraka isn’t supposed to be a support in this build. Max out the only other offensive skill to maximize damage capability plus there’s always the ult for team fights
Hey Pekin! On these norms games I would love to hear more commentary showing elo gap mistakes that help you win lane. i.e "this yone is standing so far back trying to avoid me that he is losing exp from wave." would help me and other lower elo players out a lot! Thanks for the content :)
used to play a bit of soraka mid, i stopped mainly due to how hard it was to cs. also rip her ap ratios, due to the many nerfs, her w lost like 20% or smth not getting w on soraka for that long is super troll, like even if u want to go all dmg, if u ghit a q, thats basically a free heal
Its actually better than I thought seeing you play some cheese builds in normals, mainly because you didn't create a smurf and head into ranked just to stomp (bully) on lower ranked players. Or I am just biased. Dunno. Keep up the good stuff Mr Woofers! xD Hope your channel explodes. You deserve it
i've played soraka mid quite a bit when i play flex with friends. quick tip would be to press r whenever your bot laners are fighting for the free dark seal stacks
Can you do a symmetrical challange where you have a mage apc bot with teleport, a marksman adc top with teleport, a assasin as a jnglr with ignite and a tank with exhaust and demelition and hullbreaker mid and a "aggresive" support (like soroka or senna) with heal mid? I call it a challange, but it's a strategy i came up with, but is don't know 5 people who know what there doing to try it out. The idea is that most support items and tank items are cheaper and also that sinds sidelanes are the carry's now they can use the extra experience. Support and jnglr help there where most needed, as usuel and the tank tries to take mid tower as fast as possible. So around 3:30 when jnglr is ready. The support starts to roam. You could switch adc to bot, cause they will come in very handy with dragon, but as the current state of the game where most tanks/fighters are played top. The adc could counter that and also a control mage would probably have a easier job against a 2 VS 1 in the botlane. You could also switch the tank or assasin for a fighter, but i think a tank would have the easiest job defending mid when left alone especially with hullbreaker and/or gargoyle stone plate and a assasin would have the easiest job ganking. My account names are Legindarisch and CrookedCub ;)
I play a lot of Yone, Soraka is almost a strict counter. She has absurdly low cost high damage poke on a short cooldown, self peel, and easy gank set up because she can keep you away from fully shoving a lane.
I main raka and I play her mid when i have to mid but i usually build her support items since theyre so cheap and I become the late game raka pretty early since I get cs
@Alexander Sarver Warmogs is good if you arent that consistent with landing Q to regen your HP. I used to build it when I was still learning her positioning. Revitalize is too good on her to switch to overgrowth
AP soraka mid or top lane, is always fun. She's such a great champ. you're damage still falls off hard, but she's an amazing lane bully and you migrate into being a 2nd support by late game.
One thing to note is, e doesnt really do a lot to justify skipping w at level 4 (or not skilling it until lvl 13...). It's not rare you'd need it on a river fight, mid 2v2 or whatever. You can MAYBE skip it until lvl 8 but again, it really doesnt do anything to get points in e
14:30 it's just cuz he didn't built antiheal But soraka mid still needs a few points in w cuz in team fights even one point in w could make or break the foght
To be honest, that Yone in the video was kinda "shy" and scared of getting damages :))) I mean, if he could totally beat Soraka at early game if he had known how to use his skills probably. Afterall, he could have caused a lot of damage for Soraka or even killed her if he approached her, which was the thing he didn't dare to do so :")) that's my opinion.
23:19 Zac: yone talking shit pls halp Yasuo probably developed the wind wall to avoid having to hear yone bitch and moan about the woes of his life all the time LOL
Just in case someone wants to actually play Soraka mid. Put at least a point in W. Even at one point when you land a Q it heals a ton and can turn river fights.
I've BEEN saying that soraka vs yone is unplayable for the yone its crazy and honestly its even better in top lane because you can just run down the yone farther.

Could have saved Tahm Kench in the end, "Ultimate just came up actually, he doesn't know I played that perfectly." It was up the entire fight. :P
Yeah I was making a sarcastic joke about how I can't make mistakes

Great content king pecan, looking forward to stream

also thank you for the smurf content. as much as it may be cheesy and whatnot, it certainly helps to see how you punish low elo players :)
Finally I live to see pekin play soraka on this channel
Can you talk about how to punish picks like this and what yone should do after you were ahead? (When he couldn’t even step up for exp)
Love seeing this since raka has always been one of my faves since the early days. Would love to see an Elise mid game in the future!

Reminds me of the old soraka that was played in mid and top for a while, even in pro play.
when doess zac even say that
her instant silence with her E is just a freaking menace
pekin standing in front of wave denying exp like a soraka boss babe
"I feel guilty, for what I'm doing to this Yone." You should NEVER feel guilty for destroying Yone, especially when you do it with Soraka...
Sometimes I really can’t tell if I am watching a zwag video or pekin video. You two sound almost the same sometimes lol
You should definitely still put 1 point into w and use it for clutch situations and in fights like at 11:05 when you have rejuvenation up.
He's clearly playing under his league. There's no way a Yone loses to a Soraka
"our waveclear is pretty good"'
me: confused in support soraka
14:30 it's just cuz he didn't built antiheal
But soraka mid still needs a few points in w cuz in team fights even one point in w could make or break the foght
i luv how u play raka mid, u make it look so cool and fun!
more raka mid pls

just another really good day to see a yone main suffer
So are we only gonna get Smurf content on the channel or is this just a phase?
'My q doesn't hurt that much'. Then, BOOM 25% hp gone on a 4s cd lol (Top notch irony there). 6:40
The way you stole Zac's raptors HAHAHAHAHA
i play this build as support and it's work perfectly!! super fun build thanks!!!
nothing more satisfying to watch than a Yone being ass kicked by a soraka... simply beautiful
its always a good day when i see a raka game.

what are its weaknesses, how does it actually fair in the meta
Big fan of soraka and I have this skin, enjoyed your explanations

is it worth using your ult just to get an assist?

okay but what if the enemy mid is not unskill and actually use his champ?
Morello died for all this healing, RIP in peace
this is gold pekz
i firmly believe zed into soraka is a losing lane.
edit: to clarify for zed its a losing matchup
First time I've ever felt bad for a Yone player.
Self motivated damage is damage that you would've taken if it weren't for your MR & Armour
I love all of your videos, but I miss your zoe videos, bring her back if u can ❤️ you are doing a great job pekin, love you
no joke soraka early is nuts into melee champs imo
wow such a cool video
your diana was literally afk, in the beginning, the only reason she moved is due to the q hit sound
I really enjoyed yone running away from bananas and dying in the process
I mean … if I play so aggressive the other laner just starts to spank me
THE WHOLE RAPTOR CAMP AND NO REACTION LIKE WTFF
