That's what they all say, but Soraka's self heal scales better than Vlad's, is longer ranged and is AoE so she's definitely better at sustain if you play lots of skillshot champs and aim that thing as well as a targeted ability ;). On the other hand, Xerath can be played as support similarly to Vel'Koz and Annie, who specialize in blowing up the ADC so hard they cry, or spamming CC. I have yet to get a game of Soraka mid where my kills are equal or more than half my assists tho, so I have to work on that.

They CAN play each others roles well, even if they aren't exactly god tier. I've seen AD Soraka top before by this guy called J1VHD (but I started playing her solo lane before I saw his videos).
