Meh, I have to agree with the complaints to a degree, the sweet spot on her Q is tiny, and at long ranges the travel time is quite long, while the root on her E basicly never procs given how many champions have dashes and mobility items, and even without those you need to be CC'd to not be able to leave it in time. She's not weak, but her aiming can feel rather awkward and luck based because of it, even more so than skills normally do in this game. The health cost on her W in itself isn't a particulary big issue, however the near complete absence of items providing regen is, though this is a more general issue caused by riot's distaste of passive regen. But it can make it feel too steep in lane should your opponent be half capable at harrasing/dodging your slow Q's. Had for example Mikaels still had its health regen this would already be considerably less of an issue. As it stands the sustain advantage she provides in lane is surprisingly weak against mobile poke opponents, though I do think it's probably one of the better sustain mechanics in terms of balance as it's one of the few that can't be done indefinitly.

She isn't weak, she isn't destroyed, but she definitly doesn't feel "right" at the moment. Also, it doesn't help that a sustain champion like soraka just absolutly does not fit in the kill obsessed meta of the moment.
