soraka was never not a good support. She's actually borderline OP in some matchups, because you just can't touch her (and therefore not kill her ADC either)

The thing that keeps people from using her is her lack of aggressive play. Usually supports are picked for engage or disenage...and soraka can do neither.

She can just keep people alive, but that only helps as much as her team is ahead. You need at least someone who is enough of a threat that keeping them alive helps you win the fight...which means you need someone who got ahead in lane, which you have barely any influence on since you can't initiate fights or make picks

Pair her with Draven, Jinx or Miss Fortune and she does well. Pair her with some ADC you'd need to babysit or initiate for and you won't do much
