And yet she can be countered. And honestly, you whining to no end? What about Sona and her spammable heal? How is that any different? She's pretty much going into a bush, floating around giving aura buffs.

It just goes to show that you counter with aggressiveness. Play Blitz, or play champs to get in her face. If Soraka is healing half of health back after you've blown everything on her then the fault is on you for letting her itemize herself.

Soraka is not just "play her = win" kind of champ, she has a few flaws. If she's used all of her heal skills, she doesn't have much more utility in a teamfight besides the items she has. Lulu / Janna who can slow, knockup, silence (Lulu exclusive) will fare better in a teamfight than Soraka does. All Soraka can do while the rest of her skills are on cooldowns is starcall which doesn't do a ton of damage. Her teamfight presence isn't as strong.
