Exactly. I used to be a Soraka main and so many people (even some friends of mine) were crying about Soraka being OP or toxic and lacks counterplay, but no one of them got the idea to just buy this ridicoulus cheap item that counters the biggest part of her kit. Healing is literally all she does and if you gutt this, all that remains is a weak slow, that is easy dogable and does only little damage and an AoE silence with a huge cooldown.

I see the issue that Soraka is only little interactive with the enemies, because she can just W her allies. With her Q changes they tried to adress this, so she needs to interact with the enemies in order to dish out strong heals, but with Executioners Calling being such a cheap item (if it was build into a stronger item, it would be way more popular), I would want to see Riot shift the focus of Soraka more into a buff support direction. Like lowering her base heal even more, maybe remove or lowering the health cost and adding a buff to Rejuvation (maybe armor, mr or something like that). On this way she would have to interact with enemies, because non-empowered heals would be really weak and at the same time she still would be useless if her heals were gutted with GW.
