Vayne outscaling everything when given time to farm is certainly nothing new, especially against a Caitlyn. I disagree with a Soraka Caitlyn lane as well, because it takes quite a bit of game knowledge in order to make that lanes strengths really shine. As in, you need to not push the lane in and instead just constantly force trades in the middle of the lane, that you'll win even if you lose simply through attrition. Basically, if at any point you were still in the lane, and the Caitlyn Q'd the minions to push, they misplayed pretty hard.

I actually disagree with Soraka's only real strength being healing, a big Aoe silence is one of the strongest anti-assassin/zoning tools in the game. Anyone that disagrees with that has never had the misfortune to try playing Katarina, talon, zed, and many others, against a good Soraka.

The healing is just the most frustrating part....usually. It's also what you can do the least about, and it's really safe for her to heal. Thats kind of the problem, shes rewarded heavily for never being agressive, and defensive play is, in almost all cases, less fun than agressive play.
