User blog comment:Hidden Sniper/Aggressive Support Soraka/@comment-12314620-20131006184309

The biggest problem I find in Soraka support at the current meta is the same reason I have a problem with all those Nidalee supports; the lack of peel. Heals are nice ofc but hard CC more than often helps keeping your carries alive more than some extra health. Ofcourse your teammates could be peeling for carries but let's be honest: how often does that really happen in <Platinum games? I know where you are aiming with mejai's but honestly you are buying a non utility item for a support with already relatively low utility. In higher end games 1 big item for support (after sightstone and mobi boots) is pretty much lategame because of extreme gold burden warding and buying oracles places on them,  Rylais being quite expensive doesn't really make it appealing to me.
