._. It's always the support's fault. Because if Soraka dies /once/ to Veigar, despite mid dying 5 times to him, she's the one that "put him over the top and fed him" a kill. I was literally blamed for this when my team rushed into a 4v5 in the jungle after dying to Veigar mid. ._. (He was a pro Veigar and I had fun playing against him.) Despite that being my ONLY death that game, that team fight loss was my fault.

But, either way, I disagree that Soraka can't hold a tower. If you play agressively (as you should) you can 1v2. I have done it. By playing agressively (E->W->Q->E->Q->R) you can keep their minions dead easily. No one's going to tower dive you at such low levels unless they're absolutely certain they can CC lock you (simply take Summoner Heal, it doesn't affect your heal and it /will/ save you) and kill you and get away with an execute.

I've gone mid as Soraka and TD'd a Brand. (TD=Tower Dived) Why? Because he didn't have teleport and I kept my minions at his tower. By Silencing him whenever he got close and healing myself, I kept him at low health. Eventually, he was sitting at 80hp, beside his tower, and my E was Lv 3. My Summoner Heal was up, as was ghost. I killed him and ran away with only two tower hits getting me. Brand was completely denied of minion kills in mid lane because he couldn't get close without taking definite damage.
