This is the wrong way to deal with a rework you don't like. Saying "the previous kit was better" does not help to advance discussion, nor is asking for a reversion a reasonable demand as the kit was reworked for a reason. In this particular case, Soraka's laning was at best, far too passive and inhibitive of good plays, and at worst oppressive to her opponents, and her mismatched abilities encouraged her to build like a tanky AP bruiser when she's meant to be a healer above all. It's easy to forget that, before her rework, Soraka had been hit with a series of huge nerfs to mitigate her solo lane power, which ran her to the ground.

If you don't like current Soraka's kit, the best thing you can do is point out specifically what you don't like, and how you'd like her to change (aside from going back to her pre-rework state). A lot of people here agree that Soraka's a little weak in certain aspects, even though they disagree with you that her pre-rework state was better, for example.

I personally really like Soraka's new kit, though I think she feels a little binary: from my experience playing her, she feels amazingly powerful when your team's ahead, but extremely weak when behind. Unlike most other supports, which are already team-dependent enough, a bad team will basically force her to kill herself over and over without achieving much. If I had to change something, I'd have her Q healing scale better into the late game and decrease its cost, so that Soraka would be far more able to sustain herself through her healing and difficult situations.
