Grandmaster Soraka Gameplay: ruclips.net/video/3HTSDd-BxW0/видео.html (Released Wednesday 10th June 2020) Feel free to catch me live at www.twitch.tv/bizzleberry !
I'm so grateful I found your videos, I started playing league this year because I began having seizures and my hands are too shakey to confidently play team-based FPS anymore. Let me tell you how overwhelming it is trying to learn a game that came out 11 years ago when every guide seems more like a hype video than a learning opportunity, your channel has been a breath of fresh air and every time my husband and I play together he's able to see the progress made. Thank you for the positivity and the personality, it really does feel like you're sitting down with a friend to learn a game they love.
THIS! The amount of "Guide" videos that are just a guy using the champion and talking with an insane amount of LOL jargon while he plays a match is baffling. This guy does use a bit of jargon but he does take time to explain what that mean, or shows relevant footage so you can figure it out
Hey Brizzle, could you make a tutorial for support items in general? I'm not completely sure when to build what item ... especially knights vow, locket and shurelyas. That would be so great!
AN ACTUALY GUIDE, like most guides on every champ or role are just game-plays and they call it guide. Some don’t even show runes and most don’t explain anything. Some do actually give good game-plays where u can learn from and explain tactics but this is a real guide
also one last thing, i usually go for exhaust these days on Soraka...mainly because I feel that I can afford to. Her self-sustain has been improved quite a bit with the recent changes to her Q and W. Also since we're putting points into Q instead of E...For a long time, Soraka's only weakness was self-sustain with Q maxed last every game, which is why I think Barrier was necessary for protection. But now it's not as necessary...and exhaust has a lot more versatility, being able to cast it on their ADC to reduce incoming damage, and make it easier to land skillshots, chase, etc. Also completely shuts down assassins like you said. Exhaust also works wonders against jungle ganks, and it can guarantee Equinox roots as well. There might be match-ups I'd still pick up barrier, but I think these days, exhaust is more often the better summoner choice, especially since its duration buff. Back when we put 3 points into Equinox early then max it second, I'd get barrier every single game no question, but yeah with the buffs to her self-sustain on Q and W and maxing Q second instead of E, it's not all that necessary.
bro you are legit my supp coach. I'm climbing right now and i couldn't do it without you. Thank you for all the informative content i'm sure it has helped countless support mains.
Hey! here are the timestamps: 1:01 Runes 4:36 Summoner spells 5:25 Items 8:47 Abilities 14:39 (?) Advanced skill combo's 15:45 Skill order 18:00 Grievous wounds 19:45 Counters Hope that helps! some of the stamps are a bit vague because it was not always a clear divide between subjects in the vid :)
Bizzle, thank you so much for making these guides, they are helping me become a lot better at support. I got gold this season for the first time and I want to thank you for all the resources that you've provided that have helped me improve.
I personally think guardian is pretty good for soraka if you got hard countered by engagement support. When your adc got caught, most of the time aery wont be able to shield your adc (it goes onto enemy champ because you wanna Q first then W heal). Guardian is very good in this situation. It gives you and your adc speed boost to kite back. It can also shield adc and yourself which is not something aery can do. So when you got hard-countered, pick guardian, biscuits and cosmic. And take relic shield, put 2 points on your Q then MAX your W. I feel like this works better than taking aery into an aggressive support like a nautilus.
Bizzle, do you know when you will do your tutorial on how to do the special move you did at 9:00-9:04 in lane?? Then maybe one day I can hit grandmaster like you :)
Hello Bizzle, I am a huge fan of your content as it is truly informative and helpful for a support player like myself. I was hoping to get a Morgana guide before you move on to tanks and possibly Taric when you do get to tanks. Great video as always.
Found this super helpful. I just started playing league a couple months ago and learning support -- and this has been the easiest and most comprehensive guide to listen to. Will definitely be checking out your other stuff and sub. THANK YOU!
totally agree with the 3 points in Q early. i think it might be good to mention to go for Qs when the ADC is going for last hits...zoning them from the CS.. try to make them choose between taking damage and missing the cs. A lot of Sorakas/supports miss the skill-shots because they just throw them out haphazardly without thinking. It's better to hold onto the Q and zone with its threat(ADC will know its off cooldown), and only casting it when they go for a last-hit. I think it's also necessary to make sure you can have W maxed by lvl 10, before the 2nd point into ult at lvl 11...and that's why you stop putting points into Q at 3...not 4, not 2, but 3. :P The above information would help people land their Qs :P
I feel like going redemption into a health tank item into locket is far stronger than slightly stronger heals. When you are focused as much as speaks is. Being an off tank is far better.
i personally like absolute focus/scorch for the lane phase harass. I normally wouldn't ever consider inspiration secondary. Font of Life is undervalued, it provides a deceptive amount of healing for your adc. The only other option for secondary imho is zombie wards/ingenious hunter for the lower c/d on trinkets/item actives. those 2 runes for the secondary page work wonders on supports. As for items, I value Redemption very highly, and feel that Athene's is best as her second item. I almost never get Ardent on her, but it isn't terrible... I'd just prefer an active like Mikael's or Redemption. Ardent puts too much faith on the ADC to do all the work. Athene's is great, and I 100% always get it second. I almost always 100% get Redemption first on Soraka though, unlike all other enchanter supports...I just feel that it's best on her because of how much heal she already has, giving her 1 more button amplifies her burst healing potential that much further. ya know like.. W > Redemption > R > Q > E > W.. by the time the redemption is landing ur second W is up. which altogether is enough to heal an adc from 0-100 twice in 1.5 seconds. I feel like it's an essential combo for Soraka's burst healing, and that she's severely limited without it. It's the main reason I always go Redemption first. I always feel like I need it every game because my adc is most likely going to get one-shot otherwise. I need to be able to heal heal heal heal ya know. That's what Soraka's good at, she's only one that can do it. Redemption was made for her for this reason.
Hey Bizzle, I've been running soraka with guard instead and 2 red runes (heal on hit and 25% ult cdr) so far it works very well, but do you think I would be better off going for your runes?
would you say using guardian on her is too wrong? i've been using it more lately against some matchups and i like the result,i feel like she gets less squishy during lane phase,but it's considerably worse out of laning phase,just wanted to know if it's wrong or not :')
No - Ideally don't heal if they have grevious wounds if you can. (wait out the debuff) Your heals will still be helpful - they will just be 60% effective.
@@Bizzleberry Thats fair enough, but your thumbnail created some expectations of a section about "advanced moves" which I was first thrilled about and then dissapointed when there werent any. Still great content tho, keep it up
@@slenderhintermann1764 soraka is not really about "advanced moves" its about understanding her abilities and how they synergise with each other, and how to get the most out of them. Also of course macro play and making sure not to die in team fights. Go play pyke or thresh if you want advanced moves.
Im taking alwyse Redemption, 10% cs boots and then locken cuz i wanna buff my teammates as much as i can so they win at the teamfights. Isnt that okey?

Some of the best organized guides I've seen. Good job!
Gonna be honest, I really love how you explain things and your art to talk. Its just a really really good guide, 10/10.
I would love to see more soraka gameplay from you bizzle! Anyways great guide. Thanks
More to come!
Bizzle, thank you so much for making these guides, they are helping me become a lot better at support. I got gold this season for the first time and I want to thank you for all the resources that you've provided that have helped me improve.
Anyone wanting to learn support, or just how to play the game in general, only needs to watch your videos to go from bad to rad.
Really appreciate the top-tier knowledge you provide for us support mains, Bizzle.

And take relic shield, put 2 points on your Q then MAX your W. I feel like this works better than taking aery into an aggressive support like a nautilus.
Guardian in 10.12 (today) no longer has the speed buff - hence why I didn't mention guardian as I feel its getting nerfed.
@@Bizzleberry Thanks for the reply. I just noticed the patch thank you bizzle.
Thank you so much for the amazing guide! I really struggled a long time before finally understanding how to use Sorakas skills thanks to you!
Bizzle, do you know when you will do your tutorial on how to do the special move you did at 9:00-9:04 in lane?? Then maybe one day I can hit grandmaster like you :)
Great guide! I'm happy that you've made guides for A-tier first. Yuumi guide when? :)))
Soon tm
Just spam your pasive and E lmao
Thank you so much for your guide I will put it to good use

This is how you make a guide
Love your content so much! Thank you for the great guides, so helpful 🖤
What is the best support for ADC main?
(I’d like to make support my secondary role so i can learn to cooperate with supports more naturally)
Senna
you always help me a lot !

Can you comment more on matchups? I struggle to know when to pick a support and how to counterpick
Any tips for landing Soraka’s Q? Had a game yesterday where I laned against Ashe and Lux, and I really struggled with landing them.
Hey Bizzle, I've been running soraka with guard instead and 2 red runes (heal on hit and 25% ult cdr) so far it works very well, but do you think I would be better off going for your runes?
Glad I could help
who do you think has the advantage in the senna/raka and yuumi/raka matchups?
What about domination on the secondary runes? With ult cdr and ghost poro
What are your thoughts on the guardian rune build when there's strong dive champs on the enemy team and your team doesn't have very strong peel?
Guardian will not be as good in 10.12
Is taking guardian viable?
Thank you
Why and how do you have access to all skins
Love your content! :)
would you say using guardian on her is too wrong? i've been using it more lately against some matchups and i like the result,i feel like she gets less squishy during lane phase,but it's considerably worse out of laning phase,just wanted to know if it's wrong or not :')
Once people buy anti heal does sorakas team hard lose after?
No - Ideally don't heal if they have grevious wounds if you can. (wait out the debuff) Your heals will still be helpful - they will just be 60% effective.
Oh yea, we also need guide for Nami, Leona, Blitz 😂
Thanks :)
Why not use revitalize?
second lol, love your videos!
What is the skill order?
Nice Guide, but I wish there were some more advanced moves, nothing really new stood out for me
Well, Soraka is not exactly mechanically intense. There is nothing to my knowledge that would be 'extra' here.

Isnt that okey?
Anyone else like going guardian as the main rune? With inspiration as the secondary?
Yes, guardian is a very viable option right now. Even after guardian's nerf it's still good, very safe.
@@nixlay655 guardian is good into engage supports/ high aggro jg, aery for a lane they cant really engage u on

Sorry bro guardian is just better. Spellthief sucks.
