it is EXACTLY as Sindal said, been playing her for a while now and she cripples herself so much that I'd rather stick with sona for infinite sustain in lane.

Mostly what's been bugging me the most now is that soraka can't self heal on demand while every other healer can. It's not as simple as landing the Q as it might seem for it is VERY telegraphed at max range, and then it gets really hard when the enemy bot has a Janna or Zilean (you're very rarely gonna be landing it unless your adc helps with some cc like jinx or twitch's W's).

To counter the cap of 9 consecutive W's I'm trying a 0 17 13 page and it's coming along nicely in the early-mid game. Also been including a warmog and spirit visage in late game to go beyond 10 chained heals and it does work very well, however you take forever to get the money and it leaves you with little room for team oriented utility.

Frankly, the only thing I'd wish for right now that it's probably too early and ppl are still figuring her out, is to increase her base movespeed. All other healers get a way out of danger to compensate for their lack of damage for when things turn south.

Soraka is a sitting duck if you don't have passive on, and a little tweaking wouldn't be toxic at all, since all of her abilites are telegraphed and you have a pretty decent cast time in bewteen them.
