The ability to walk is underrated as a hard-counter

Very bored and very caffeinated, posting this skillshot dodging I managed which I thought was hilarious. Why did I think it was hilarious? Because being out of position, I panicked and was misclicking hardcore; this was an accident.

Edit: For the entirety of two people who think this was some sort of Dodge program, let me teach you how the game's pathing system made Soraka turn around with an illustration;

I clicked to move (or rather, was holding the button down, which means there will not be a green move-to icon) on the fire brazier. Blue line shows what the pathing was going to be after the 0:16 second mark when it happened. It's understandable that some would miss that and think I'm a cheater, but understandable as it might be, it's annoying.

Enemy team: WTF this Soraka is a god! Your team: WTF this Soraka is a god!

You: O.O... What just happened?

Once I barely made it out alive of a fight (as Raka too :D) because a huge minion wave stopped me from walking directly into a Karma q. I was clicking right at that spot too but the minions wouldn't let me die Dx.

If only every champion had to land skill shots and couldn't gap close directly on top of you from half the lane away, then dodging might actually be a useful skill. As it stands it's only useful against some mid lane champions and supports.
