Soraka is really good if your laner is a huge bully and uses mana like crazy. And the opposing enemy has a relatively short range and nothing like flip or grab in their arsenal. Soraka is dead meat in kill lanes. They will focus you and you can't peel for your carry. Just heal and hope it works out. It's not a nice situation to be in. Nunu is also not a great choice. He has an aggressively small level of utility for a support and his blood boil is basically trumped by Nidalee's heal and you basically get within taric's stun distance to do the only bit of damage and slow Nunu can do aside from the ult that almost never goes full nuke. Once again. If the opponent is aggressive. You are already dead.

Jungle Nunu is good though.
