Well the problem with top lane soraka is that she could deny trading with her silence. You can just silence the enemy, hit him/her with a Q and then back off to safety. Wait for cooldowns and then repeat. Unless their top laner has a gap close/poke that outranges her silence, they can hardly do anything against her. And if she does get hurt a bit in return, she'd just heal herself, which also gives a large armor bonus that prevents almost every top laner from doing proper damage to you. Her only real weakness is that she cannot escape, so jungle ganks are lethal.
