Faerie Court Soraka

After spamming 70 games with Faerie Court Soraka this patch, I can confidently say this skin changes how the champion feels to play. The Q animation is noticeably smoother compared to other Soraka skins, making those clutch heals during teamfights way easier to land. Where Star Guardian feels clunky and Dawnbringer sometimes blends into certain maps, Faerie Court stands out with perfect visual clarity while maintaining that enchanted forest vibe.

The W heal has this satisfying butterfly effect that makes spam healing your fed ADC feel more responsive than base skin. But the real game changer is the ult animation. During a baron fight yesterday, my team was getting destroyed until I popped ult, and the golden butterflies cascading across the screen made it crystal clear to everyone that the heal went through. No confusion, no wondering if it registered. My ADC even typed "that ult visual saved us" in chat. The E silence zone feels cleaner too, with better visibility on both Summoner's Rift variations.

Is Faerie Court Soraka worth it? Absolutely, especially if you're climbing with her. This isn't pay to win exactly, but the cleaner animations definitely help in those intense moments where every millisecond counts. At 1350 RP it's not cheap, but compared to other Soraka skins like Cafe Cuties or Winter Wonder, you're getting superior clarity without sacrificing aesthetics. The recall is gorgeous too, though that's just bonus. If you main Soraka or play her regularly in ranked, this skin will probably improve your gameplay slightly just through better visual feedback. For casual players, maybe wait for a sale, but for anyone serious about their banana throwing goat lady, this is the skin to get.
