Considering the ally has to be down to under 10% health for it to heal for over 400, the prevalence of ignite which cuts it down to a measly 200, the fact that the armor only lasts 2 seconds, the fact it has a 20 second cooldown at all ranks with one of the highest mana costs in the game and the rest of Soraka's kit compared to that of other supports it's not really a big deal.

It's actually really strong at like levels 7 and 9 when you have rank 4/5 in it and you're pretty much getting the most out of it but the AP scaling on it is poor when you factor in its cooldown and the actual heal part doesn't scale well into lategame where it's only like 1/4th of an average champ's health. As champs pick up things like Black Cleaver and Last Whisper the armor also becomes weaker and less relevant.
