They also seem to have reduced the AoE of her Q a bit, I feel like these changes will make her laning phase stronger while nerfing her presence in teamfights; the only thing that kept soraka from actually staying 24/7 in lane during the early levels was her mana consumption, now that she can recover mana to both herself and her ally their sustain will be even greater than before; on the other hand, now she can't benefit from hitting several enemies at a time and healing a lot in teamfights, spamming her W will also mean that you're constantly giving away your Q buff and thus denying your self heal, limiting way more than before the amount of times you can use it in a fight and also making yourself more vulnerable.
