Soraka does not counter Karthus. Karthus has one of the strongest passsives in the game, two high DPS AoE skills, and a huge slow + armour and MR debuff that grants vision. Just because Soraka has the potential to mitigate some or all of Requiem's damage (Suppot Soraka can't outheal lvl 2-3 Requiem), does NOT make her a counter.

Requiem is the icing on Karthus's cake. It is not his main source of damage, or the reason why he is considrered by some to be a hyper carry.
