Early lane sustain was her ONLY REAL ADVANTAGE early game that lead to a viable mid-game, and now that's been eliminated.

What does she do now? Spam Starcall, and overpush. Her heals are worthless until you need the armor buffs late game and can't heal at all anymore early game since it costs so damn much to heal for so little. Taric is a strictly-better babysitter, since his heals are still potent enough to matter early game (AND sustain him too), his stun is a giant FUCK YOU button compared to Infuse, and he doesn't overpush the lane early.

What we're left with: Soraka has become a shitty has-been. Mediocre at best among mages.
