There is no support that can come anywhere close to competing with Soraka when it comes to the two major niches she occupies - healing and zone control - so expecting Bard to do either is a complete and utter waste of time on your part.

The only reason he seems 'bad' to you is because you're making frankly illogical arguments like comparing his kit piecemeal and dismissing the versatility of his E and R out of hand. His performance elsewhere (competitive, solo queue) doesn't suggest he's vastly undertuned at the moment (he doesn't have a 50% winrate but that's to be expected with a mechanically complex champ).
