The problem with Soraka's current Q is that, being a close-range PBAoE that ramps up over time, it not only goes against Soraka's position as a caster (she's not meant to be on the frontline spamming Q), but also encourages her to go tanky, which means you end up with a champion who can not only heal for massive amounts, but who will also not die quickly enough if you focus her. E is just point-and-click, and is more oppressive than anything else.

I'm happy they put damage on Equinox. Soraka only being able to deal damage with her Q meant that lots of people on the PBE ended up maxing Q first and playing like mid laners, and sometimes didn't even put a point into Equinox as it was too much trouble to use correctly. With this, Soraka should have a much smoother damage curve.
