The problem is that sadly, he IS right. Soraka DOES suck after 40 minutes. Well...I should say MOST Soraka's suck after 40 minutes. Why? because very very few of them get Starcall and even fewer farm with it. Someone on here said that Starcall take multiple casts to kill a minion wave at lvl 5 where as Morg and Janna only takes one. That is true, but what they aren't saying is it take TWO casts to kill a minon wave and that with CD it takes ~3 seconds to wipe out that wave. Whereas Janna's need to charge for 5 seconds and Morg's is a relatively small AoE. Add onto that the fact that you can kill massive waves in the same amount of time unlike Morg and Janna AND that it won't drain your mana on account of Infuse and you can understand why I believe Starcall is one of the best farming skills in the game. And yet very very few Soraka's use it, hardly ever get kills, are so squishy that you can't hold stacks without being at a worthless range, have so little items because you didn't farm and can't kill and NOW you have a champion that is UTTERLY useless at 40 mins in.

Soraka is NOT supposed to sit in the back popping heals the whole game! Early game she is supposed to be harassing like a boss, getting a kill or two and pushing down that friggin tower, ALONE if necessary. Mid game you stick with a buddy and try to turn that bot lane 2v2 into a 3v2 because you popped your ult at the right time and now your side has a life lead. End game is when you really do need to stay in the backline(unless you built tank) and keep your team's HP and Mana from getting whittled down. I know I've said that she can burst down squishies, but that's only if she can keep up with the rest of the people playing. And even then that's only for a 1v1 gank situation or when Teemo gets too cocky during a tower siege.

If you're gonna play Soraka, you need to stop playing her like you're ashamed that she's your main and get out there and kick some ass. Yes you are going to die and yes may be the first one focused but that comes with any squishy champion. So in other words to answer the OP: Nut Up or Shut Up.

That is all.
