There was this one time I chose a Soraka mid during a ranked game, since the rest of my team had little to no sustain and I thought my ulti would help the aatrox and mundo tops. I was flamed so hard, tantrums and how we're dead.

During the game, I was up against a leblanc. The others thought I would feed and always tried to gank mid, but they fed leblanc while I managed to get kills whenever leblanc gets too gutsy. They started berating me, saying that I should have died with them. Bot was lost because Twitch troll fed, but the top and mid were held really well; on my own I managed to carefully push to the inner turret at the cost of an outer tower and top pushed like a pro. By that time my score was 5/7/10, since I roamed alot and played safe and the leblanc kept on towerdiving. (By the fifth time you would have thought that she should at least try and whittle me down)

Even after my mid penetrated the inhib turret the twitch and braum were still giving me hell, like braum abandoning me in the middle of a MF ult. Their scores were terrible, twitch 3/19/4 and braum at 4/12/2. Mundo and Aatrox were doing fine, 13/4/10 and 10/3/13 respectively, and weren't giving me hell anymore.

But bot was losing the lane, and whenever I try for a gank in bot, they'll scream like 'KS' or 'OMG YOU NOOB SORAKA YOU STEAL MY KILL', so I gave up on bot and decided to let MF and Anivia push to our bot inhib. They kept on insulting me and the top people, and we spent 10 minutes trying to shut down bot while Twitch and Braum were doing jack.

We won, me at 12/10/15, with full build.

But even after the game Twitch was relentless, Braum quietly Dcing. Asking people to report me for trolling and all that. Of course, I got +3 Honorable Opponent and +2 Teamwork.

Moral of the story: Never underestimate this one. While I admit that leblanc could have thrashed me more than easily, leblanc towerdove on me, as if trying to get fed. Instead I let her over extend and let aatrox come in to gank her. Her q can shred your magic resist VERY quickly and any other ap gamks will end you.

So, don't overlook her that much. She might be a bit UP, but if played properly she can be a real beast.
