it's not broken because :

1)If somehow soraka still has max hp after running away from a teamfight thent hat's great and all but it's highly unlikley consideing you probably had to heal the tank or something before that. You painted the most fortunate, most viable position which you will NOT frequently have as soraka, because your already busy healing and losing hp.

2) soraka loses 250hp with eveyr heal. 250. you might as well hit her with a club eveyr few seconds. Which leads me to

3) You, as soraka, are now the most vulnerable target of all time and all it takes is one Ziggs ult just give them a DIFFERENT kill. You saved the katarina, sure, but you still might have given them gold in the process.  You might not EVEN have saved the katarina because you got bombed before you could even start healing.

4) Soraka can't heal herself unless she hits something with a Q. Even bigger self cripling weakness to be explointed and picked off. She is the easiest target to pick off in a teamfight now.

5) the range of her W is like, half of what it used to be. If katarina is running faster than you, and her hp isn't below 40%, you acutally might end up just chasing her. but she can't stop running because your busy running away. not to mention that because it's so short you CANT just sit back in the teamfight at a safe distance. your heal forces you into danger.

Are you seeing a pattern here? Soraka needs to SURVIVE to push out 9 heals. What happens if she tanks a nidalee spear for katarina? 4-6 heals, gone. What happens if fizz throws a shark at you? katarina died and now yoru just fodder who spent 500hp trying to help her, not too much farther from danger because you had to rush into close combat to try.
