Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
So when it comes to Soraka , the horny champion (because she has a horn), You want to start off with Amplifying Tome as it will allow you quickly build Rod of Ages , and stacking items are best build as early as possible. We will build this item as it will synergize with Warmog's Armor later on. Also, it will help you be less squishy and will restore some of your mana when you take damage.
Boots will be Ionian Boots of Lucidity for the extra CDR and [locket enchant] for quick shields.
Once you get Warmog's Armor the passive will heal you A LOT so long as you don't take damage, allowing you spam your heal without worrying about your own HP. This item is very good on Soraka , and is probably the only tank item I'll accept on a mage support.
The other 3 remaining items are pretty simple - the 3 support items work good with Soraka , so take them. These items are Ardent Censer , Harmonic Echo and Athene's Unholy Grail .
Soraka Runes
Best Runes for Soraka
Since we will build both AP and HP on the horny champion (because she has a horn), a rune such as Font of Life will be a really good choice, as it stacks with both HP and AP.
Weakness can be triggered easily with [soraka:1], Second Wind will allow you to regenerate HP more easily, and Pack Hunter is for better snowballing.

Soraka Matchups & Counters
Detailed information on how to play matchups and counters
Make the stars hear you
1. Pressing Astral Infusion without aiming will prio the teammate with the lowest health. Use this if you don't have time to aim.
2. Wish will become stronger if your teammates are below 35% health. Don't blow it off early!
3. Since Equinox doesn't slow the enemies inside, its best used as a CC chain tool on abilities such as Unstoppable Force or Cataclysm .
4. Starcall can reveal dark areas in the fog of war. Use this to scan bushes before you ward or to check for potential ambushes.
5. Don't be afraid with roaming, as Salvation will allow you to reach places fast if your teammates are fighting alone and are getting their butts kicked.
6. Make sure to stay positive and do as best as you can, this is the key tip for Soraka , the horny champion (because she has a horn).
