Can we talk about Soraka on ARAM?

I'm starting not to like getting Soraka in ARAM. Soraka is the game's "dedicated healer". ARAM pretty much hates on healers in general (check that little icon thingy at the bottom).

1. Her Q's mana costs are high early game if you max those first. Starting chalice helps a little, but not much if you choose to go that route. The good news is there are a lot of targets for her to hit. The bad news is she's extra squishy and all those extra champs she has to deal with early on are bad for her health. And you've now got 3 extra people finding ways to drain your health when the enemy isn't hitting you. This also lacks damage it needs as she's got bad AP ratios on this skill for a high mana cost. Even if you do hit it for 250 HP, you've still got wukong, irelia, leblanc, katarina, and sejuani charging at you because you are low from pressing W and no escape. So basically you're still screwed even when you hit your Qs.
2. W has a high health cost, for half health healed. Because ARAM. So she's really punished hard for doing the one thing she's meant to do there. Still no self heal from it. You can't base up in ARAM. In SR you can base up when low. As I mentioned in 1, she's got extra teammates draining her from the beginning. She still can't build health there. She still has limited self healing. Her W isn't designed to keep 4 other people healed from level 3 and that's what you have to do. With 5 enemies and 4 teammates, someone is getting hit. If you don't heal with her, she's kind of useless.
3. It's okay, and I tend to level it a little before I max W but only because her W is extra gimped there. AP ratios again aren't great so buying AP for damage instead of healing isn't that rewarding.
4. Her big heal is halved. She and Janna are the only champs with ults specifically nerfed in ARAM. Janna still has the fight reset aspect.
5. If a snowball hits you or a teammate next to you, you are probably screwed.

As a former Soraka main, I'm one of the people who are less than 100% happy with her rework. As someone who plays a ton of ARAM, being the person who gets her is starting to make me sad. Soraka's new kit goes completely against what Riot is trying to do with ARAM and I personally feel that it really reveals the gimped nature of her kit. She revolves around healing others and in ARAM you are penalized for doing that as Soraka by twice as much as in SR (because your heals only heal half as much for the same life cost).

She's not a damage dealer, she's not mobile, she can't build health, riot doesn't want her to be tanky in general, and she's extra punished for healing because ARAM. I know riot doesn't want to admit that they've disenfranchised some former soraka mains, but can you guys at least admit her kit sucks in ARAM because she's been completely tune for being a summoners rift support... you know where you can do things like base when you are low or heal people (sort of but not really).

As someone who plays soraka a bit still on SR, you are used to healing people when they are low. It's kind of her raison d'etre. You can't really do that in ARAM without getting punished too hard for it. Her kit just isn't tuned for that environment. At all.
