Does Soraka need another rework or just nerfs until nobody plays her again ?

The latest nerf I really don't know how much it did, but it seems to me they accomplished just the opposite of what they wanted. Soraka will just stay even further back and heal, not even trying to hit the Q since the nerf and stock up on pots. People will still complain and ban her. If you keep up with the same nerfs, people will complain about her again, only now her team will complain, when someone picks her. Maybe give her something like her old W back, no health cost but with a much greater cooldown and possibly giving ad/ap.. you can honestly do whatever, just not like it is now with 1.1 sec cooldown on 40%, which is just absurd, for soraka cuz of the health loss and for the enemy. I think Q is fine, giving a somewhat hard skillshot if you hit it in the center. E could be more interactive than just putting a circle on the ground and people going around it. Maybe another skillshot with some CC/dmg like velkoz E. Idk, there's a lot of things you can do with Soraka as you should, because I don't like seeing everybody calling her toxic and I would like to play her without feeling that every time I heal someone, people will rage.

lol soraka has always been lane dominant. I used to go flask/4pots (rip flask) and I still run full health regen yellows/quints on her for maximum sustain.

while raka is absolutely annoying and can be cancerous, in my experience she has to get pretty damn close to the teammates she is healing. so if you start to focus someone and she runs into heal, if you can...turn on her and explode her.

the real issue I've had is that a lot of these raka's are building exceptionally tanky now since they don't need the AP to buff their heal anymore.

No, but if riot keeps nerfing her blindly rather than smartly, it probably will end up with a rework. As TSM Lux Boy pointed out, most Soraka players just abuse other means to restore health, and ultimately the nerf to Starcall will primarily affect AP Soraka (who is the lesser of two evils by far) since tanky Soraka builds don't need to even bother with it.
