Guess someone's tilted again because he lost a game with much less kills than he could have without those heals. Basicly her design isn't broken at all. This "stay behind and heal" tactic you mentioned works out rarely, because, well, her heal range is lower than Ashe's AA range. She needs to get close to heal someone, so if you catch someone in a bad position, Soraka has to move there too for healing her ally and well then she is dead instantly if you dont ignore her. She has to position herself for hitting Q aswell because her heal now is much weaker without Alignment, even though her Q has a good range. On max range it's easy to dodge tho. And you can't compare shields and heals. It's like comparing a silence and a snare, they are complete different things. A shield prevents someone from damage or effects, while heals are giving someone a larger health pool for staying inside of a fight. You can't say, heals are lazy, they are just different and have another use.

And if they didn't gutted Grievous Wounds Champs that are dependant on heals, such as Soraka, Mundo, Vladimir and those who have a heal in theit kit such Nami or Sona would be countered too easily. The difference is that these champs still have another use, Soraka doesn't. Healing is the only thing she can do so with the old Grievous Wounds on cheap items like these she would be usesless. Remember her post pre season? Or befor her rework? No one played her.

People are allways complaining, that Soraka is op, but she really isn't. She can do one thing well: healing. Nothing more. She has only a medium slow, a slience that cen be walked off and a high cooldown global safe. Sustaining her allys is the only thing she can do and this on a very fair level because she sacrefices her own health, goes in risky positions and has to build squishy in order to remain strong in late game.

If you want to tilt about champs, then do about allrounder, that can do a vary of things well, not about a onetrickpony.
