Soraka is great now due to Equinox. She is lively and able to make plays.

Equinox:

- can do a lot of damage

- silences and stays for a while, meaning it can stop opponents from starting up their abilities.

- roots

- impacts a large area. Use it near a wall for even more disruption.

Simply put it makes an area to which the opponents must respond by leaving (on foot). Only a few champions in the game have countermeassures to this ability.

Equinox counters Blitz and Thresh hooks by denying them the area to land it from, and denies other abilities that are used for engaging in bot lane.

It also stops disengages as flash and a whole host of abilites (arcane shift, netgun, rocket jump, etc.) cannot be used to save their bacon while silenced. Have you tried ganking Brand with this in combination with a burst champ? It's almost unsporting.
