I think the main issue with Soraka right now isn't specifically with her kit, but with how the game's itemization, specifically, negates her core weaknesses, i.e. extreme squishiness: the point to Soraka's rework was to force her to sacrifice her own health and safety in order to protect allies, but with tanky stats, she can make herself far too difficult to kill. This has only been made worse with recent updates, which have added significantly more tanky stats to support itemization (it's extremely difficult to not get those when itemizing as a support).

If there is one thing I dislike about Soraka's kit right now, though, it's the Rejuvenation mechanic on her Q. The effect is low on visibility and encourages passive play, whereas the previous heal was more impactful and more rewarding when at risk. I'd like to see that change reverted, provided Soraka also had more stops and barriers to prevent her from abusing tanky itemization (reworking Warmog's would likely also help).
