There's so many champs that don't get any time in the spotlight because they're most effective in specific teams. Soraka is a bit weird because she's great in randoms where people don't focus her, struggles in mid-tier ranks where people are serious but still not building proper comps, and is an absolute nightmare in teams that keep her safe. The biggest problem with her is her safety which they recently addressed. I don't think it's enough, but if they want to make her feel more balanced they'll have to even out her extremes, which means raising her base stats while shortening her range, a bit more. Her Q is fine - maybe a little too much scaling vs flat for a support, and E epitomizes the problem with her kit: it's not the least bit impressive by itself, but can fuck a teamfight quite severely.
