If you often play against hyper carry bot lanes, you probably have faced Soraka several times. While she’s not that oppressive early on, she becomes extremely annoying to deal with later in the game when she can heal up her allies with hundreds of HP. Luckily for you, we will be covering in this guide the best three Soraka counters, so you know what to play against her.
If you’re fairly new to the game, check out our guide on how counter picks work in League of Legends.

Alistar is now one of the best engage supports in the meta, having powerful engage tools and the ability to survive thanks to the ultimate. One of the primary reasons is that you can dive Soraka over and over again, punishing her so that she doesn’t scale alongside her ADC. As long as you can find the pick before the start of a fight, you will have find an advantage.
Braum is also another meta pick and thanks to his crowd control, he can be a great champion to punish Soraka. If you can proc the stun, it becomes easy for you to take her down, and on top of that, he can block off Soraka’s poke with his E.

While the others are mostly meta picks from the support tier list, Rell is one of the few that actively counters Soraka. While she can’t tank as much as Alistar during a fight, she has more tools to engage and lock Soraka down. She gets an easy engage with the ultimate and her abilities and once you get her, it will be hard for Soraka to escape.
Even though Ashe has a good poke and can harass Soraka during the laning phase, she won’t have much impact against her later on. The only good thing is if you’re able to catch her with some arrow snipes, but it’s not a guaranteed strategy you can consistently rely on.

Renata Glasc is also another bad matchup simply for the fact that she can’t keep up with Soraka’s heals later in the game.
