Whoa... Since when was Astral Heal OP? The move is absolutely crap until it is leveled, meaning if you focus the skill you have jack squat when it comes to harassment, and you can't even afford it without splurging on mana items or leveling infuse heavily. Level 1 is 90 mana for 70 heal and pitiful armor for 5 seconds, and level 5 is 170 mana (!!!) for great heal and armor, but still only 5 seconds! All the supports have been designed now to time their skills for when they go into combat, or else you are going to lose out on the benefits of their heal add-ons or shields. The whole point of Soraka's heal being OP for 5 seconds is so that for the next 15 seconds (Geez that's long...) you are pitifully useless. You can't even harass worth anything after leveling that skill so heavily. For such a totem-pole presence in lane, she better have 5 seconds of fame.
