"just focus soraka"
Yes, it's that easy, it's not like she sits 1500 range away from you at all times.
it's not like she doesn't have cc to kite you back if you do somehow manage to get on her (read: her being bad)

She sits hardly any further back than the ADC and has some of the weakest crowd control of any support - how on Earth is a silence and a 10% chance for a slow going to keep you away from her?
If you can get to the ADC you can get to Soraka and she dies a lot quicker than her ADC too.
It is good advice to keep in mind in general though, a lot of people get "focus the carry" blood lust going when they shouldn't.
Enemy Team three man tower dove me and my 50% hp carry a few raka games ago, tried to focus trist down and we walked with a 0 for 3 triple kill. Trist and i were within a few hundred units of eachother at all times. Killing me first would have netted them a double
This is why I want riot to turn her back into a more aggressive bully style champ that some players used to play her as. She's healthier for the game when she mixing it up instead of AFK healing.
i'll stream balanced soraka gameplay for anyone who wants to see how balanced she is

lol shes not OP
Soraka is pretty damn broken.
Um how often are you going to focus Soraka outside of a team fight. In lane if she isn' doing anything you easily all in and kill the carry if she sits back. In team fights you blow her up if you get the chance to remove an hp battery. The counter to Soraka is focused damage whether its on her or her teammates.
And as to the above, don't tower dive a carry unless you can burst them through a heal, it's just common sense.
Honestly, this is something thats better left to your AP carry, who can erase Soraka in under a second (and she can't sit that far back; her team WILL die if she sits too far away from the fight; since she offers nothing to them other than her healing abilities). Even if she keeps the ADC alive, thats completely useless if its JUST the adc against your entire team.
If she REALLY manages to somehow become problematic, reduce the range on her heal so shes forced to stand closer to allies (thereby putting herself in more danger); increase her passive's bonus MS when running towards lower health allies.
TL;DR: If Soraka is sitting so far back that only the ADC is near her range, just obliterate her frontline and anyone else who happens to be nearby, since Soraka won't be healing them.
