Levels 4-5PykeLevels 4-5 your all-in burst outpaces her self-damaging heals, still your favour.
Level 6PykeLevel 6 your R executes Soraka's self-sacrificing kit from high health, a strong you-spike.

Early game (levels 1–5)

You crush Soraka at levels 1-2. She has no mobility, no hard CC before her E, and she literally spends her own health to heal, so a Q hook or a level-2 E stun sets up a kill she cannot heal through in time. Zone her off Starcall by threatening the hook from brush, and every W she casts on her ADC just feeds your all-in by lowering her own bar.
