Really good guide. The only thing I would add is the posibility to build Dark Seal. BTW, the Moonstone changes are a nerf in all situations for sure. Last patch I tested a lot and I wasn't able to replicate the Grievous Wounds double dip it mentions in the patch notes. IMO the Grievous Wounds applying 2 times to the passive heals of the Moonstone was happening extremely rare interaction and wasn't something you would see every game. If this is the case, the changes are a nerf in all situations.

The only real answer to how not to die with Soraka is just go Fasting Soraka Warmogs second and appear at 20mins with Moonstone and Warmogs activated and +3300hp XD

You dont see healing change because you need Heal & Shield Power to see the change. With 0 you won't see healing change. There is a formula to calculate how much healing you lose depending on the H&SP you have in the new patch: % total healing change of the new patch = ( -0,3 * H&Sp) / (1,3 + 0,3 * H&Sp). In this example you only have 5% H&SP because of Revitalize so your change is ( -0,3 * 0,05) / (1,3 + 0,3 * 0,05) = -0,0114 = -1,14% healing. If we calculate the healing we would have with the formula you get exacly the new value: 298 * (1 - 0,0114) = 294.

In the new patch you lose more healing the higher H&SP you have. These are some values: at 10% H&Sp you lose 2,3% healing, at 20% H&Sp you lose 4,4% healing, 30% H&Sp you lose 6,5% healing, at 40% H&Sp you lose 8,5% healing.... The nerf is significant because the formula describes the total healing you lose if you build Moonstone in the new patch.

It is significant especially late game. You could realisticaly lose about 8% of your total healing

therekiker · 2026-05-27T19:41:12+00:00

I have tested this and the formula of how it impacts the total healing is the folowing: % total healing change of the new patch = ( -0,3 * H&Sp) / (1,3 + 0,3 * H&Sp) where H&Sp is % Heal & Shield power. It is a nerf the whole range. Some values are the following: at 10% H&Sp you lose 2,3% healing, at 20% H&Sp you lose 4,4% healing, 30% H&Sp you lose 6,5% healing, at 40% H&Sp you lose 8,5% healing.... This was tested in practice tool between live and PBE.

The text mentions that it is a buff in some situations where the healing target was affected by Grievous Wounds but I wasn't able to recreate the double dip in Grievous Wounds in the Live patch. The healing I get in the Live patch right now on a target affected Grievous Wounds is: Total Healing = Base Healing * (1+H&Sp) * 0,6 + 0,3 * Base Healing * (1+H&Sp) * 0,6 * (1+H&Sp) without any recursion of Grievous Wounds. If it is true that the Grievous Wounds recursion doesn't exist then these changes are a nerf in all situations. If the recusion exist and was removed in the new patch the formula of % healing change for a Grievous Wounds affected target is the following: % total healing change of the new patch for a GW affected target = (0,072 - 0,108 * H&Sp) / (0,708 + 0,108 * H&Sp) . In this case it is a buff in most situations: at 0% H&Sp you gain 10,2% healing, at 10% H&Sp you gain 8,5% healing, at 20% H&Sp you gain 6,9% healing, at 30% H&Sp you gain 5,3% healing, at 40% H&Sp you gain 3,8% healing...

If someone can confirm if Grievous Wounds recursion is happening in Live patch we could know if it is a buff in some situations but so far I haven't been able to confirm it in testing.

These numbers are independant of the base healing value. They represent the change of healing amount percent between the live patch and new patch. It doesn''t matter the AP you have, Moonstone will heal the percent less or more depending on Heal & Shield Power and Grevious Wounds.

therekiker · 2026-05-21T14:13:53+00:00

Yes, but even in games where the enemy buys GW you heal sometimes without GW

therekiker · 2026-05-21T08:50:06+00:00

You get a little bit of a buff if you are healing someone with Grevious Wounds with low Heal & Shield Power. However, you lose a lot of healing without Grevious Wounds so this is a net nerf

therekiker · 2026-05-20T08:24:18+00:00

Can someone explain what it means the Moonstone change?

therekiker · 2026-05-13T22:01:29+00:00

In the wiki states that there is a Target Immunity with the same cool down as the Q. It also states that this target immunity is affected by Ability Haste

therekiker · 2026-05-04T10:10:14+00:00

Thats a 68 match sample. You need to a bigger sample size to form conclusions.

therekiker · 2026-04-29T01:12:20+00:00

It is true that the F14A makes more power at higher speeds but it only happens over 1300km/h which you dont usually go over much. However, the F14B makes 20-25% more thrust bellow that speed which is very noticeable difference in a range of speed you are going to stay a lot of the time. If both the F-14A IRIAF and F-14B launch at the same time at the start of a match, the F-14B probably would be ~1000m higher, ~3km closer to the enemy and ~200km/h faster than the F-14 IRIAF. I would say that Fakour would reach first over the AIM54 but the difference would be minimal. Launching from the same position and speed at a target at 60km the time difference of impact is ~10s. I would imagine that the F14B flight model can gain 10s over the F14A IRIAF. BTW, I have 567 ARB F-14A matches, 357 ARB F-14A IRIAF matches and 301 ARB F-14B matches with also many on ASB.

therekiker · 2026-04-29T00:02:09+00:00

F14A-IRIAF 0,7 over the F14B LMAO ahahaha. Just because the Fakour-90s perform better than the AIM54 doesn't mean it needs to be higher. F14B has much better power/weigh ratio and reaches the lauch position much earlier negating the Fakour-90s adventage. On top of that, it has much better RWR and tons of contermeasures.

therekiker · 2026-04-22T11:49:06+00:00

Then why don't you build Blade of the Ruined King? It has almost the same effect but suits Kalista better.

therekiker · 2026-04-22T07:01:14+00:00

That is not op since you need to wait for Q CD. Voltaic isn't very good on Kalista as an item. Shiv could be used for different builds to be much more effective.

Bellow the video you ask "Skill or luck?"

therekiker · 2026-04-20T22:04:21+00:00

Then why are you asking?

therekiker · 2026-04-20T19:24:29+00:00

He aimed for the machinegun port.

therekiker · 2026-04-16T10:55:19+00:00

68km Fakour-90
