^this may surprise you, but I'm tired of people repping this wrong just because they see Soraka's bigger burst numbers.


 * HEAL:  70 / 140 / 210 / 280 / 350  (+ 45% AP)   COOLDOWN:  20 = 3.5/7.0/10.5/14.0/17.5 (+ 2.25% AP)  healing per second


 * HEAL:  40 / 60 / 80 / 100 / 120  (+ 25% AP)   COOLDOWN:  7 = 5.7/8.6/11.4/14.3/17.1 (+3.57% AP) healing per second



the point is that Soraka only beats sona in healing over time at rank 5, and even then not by much (especially when you factor in that Sona gets a bit of free AP from . Soraka's only significantly better at burst healing, global presence, and in the fact that she can give mana. Whether it's worth it to take a champion with very little teamfight presence over Sona is up to you, but it's a no-brainer to me unless you have a heavily mana-hungry carry (i.e. Varus) on your team.
