^exactly this.

TheOddOne was playing Nautilus on his stream and even he said, that Soraka's buffs are good. If you look at all the free gold she's pouring into your team, you will be amazed.

Soraka can carry a team, you just won't notice it if you are not very knowledgable of the game.

She counters assassins (especially the ad ones like Talon, Zed, Kha'Zix). She counters double AP, while she works well with ap heavy teams at the same time.

You pick her for these strengths and not for her W sustain, because it's not that good. Nami and Sona heal for a lot more.

Learn to Soraka, max Q first.
