I'm legitimately a Soraka main competatively. I'm at Platinum I, nearing Diamond almost exclusively using Soraka since Silver III and heres what Soraka is good at.

Contrary to popular belief, she is actually incredibly powerful as a support. Just look at the bonuses her abilities grant. In practical use, she shutdowns tank's magic damage with her passive, prevents casters and ability based champions for almost as long as Fiddlesticks fear with her INSTANTLY applied silence, her ability to sustain an entire team during a fight creates the perfect situation for most fighters who WANT to stay in fights longer, her Astral blessing is incredibly overpowered, effectively granting health AND 2100 gold worth of Armour. Her Starcall doesn't even need to be levelled until fights break out not to mention the amount of MR shreading it does.

Her absolute dream team is 'Mid line fighter top' 'Sustained magic damage mage mid' 'High harrase/mid game potential adc' 'strong AP engage/disengage jungler'

Think, Renekton, Swain, Caitlyn, Evelynn

Just stay near your backline, casting 'Starcall' whenever possible, focus on sustaining your allies and silencing huge threats (Sona, Lee sin, Leblanc, Zed, Orianna) and your team will literally destroy them whilst sustain atleast over half their health before you even need to use Wish.

She is incredibly underappreciated and a lot of players consider her a Heal bot but shes much more then that. Shes the only support that can sustain a her team through being engaged on, and forgiving mistakes.
