I played my Soraka games along with my ADC buddy, with which i rarely lose the bot lane. The fact is that the new Infusion works almost like a 'damage transfer': the poke done to your adc gets healed but you take a part of that damage yourself by paying 10% of your maximum health (plus mana) to cast Infusion.

This is an important thing to consider. Soraka may shine in team fights: if she can stay out of the fight (more difficult now with her lower Infusion range) she can heal 'tons of damage', however in skirmishes or 2v2 fights in the bot lane she really has a hard time now.
