Classic-specific behavior

Classic ships the pre-V3.13 Soraka; V3.13 cut Wish's cost to flat 100 mana and V3.14 reworked the passive into a missing-health amplifier and rescaled multiple abilities. Classic therefore represents the strongest window of Season-3 Soraka, which existed for only the first few weeks of the season.

Coming from current LeagueThe heal is on a 20-second cooldown, so no modern spam-W playstyle exists, and Q is melee-range and self-centred, requiring walking into the enemy to deal damage; nothing costs health, replacing the modern self-damage risk with pure mana management.
Remembering Soraka in 2013The silence on E is a point-and-click enemy cast and mana-gifting an ally is a real cooldown decision, mechanics long removed that most current players have never used.
