I main Soraka support but I would love if she was more of a threat. She's just a little too squish. She can survive a lot and slip away, but it would be great if she could go a little more balls deep like thresh or leona or sona.
Soraka isn't meant to go "balls deep" as you put it. She is the premier healer of league of legends. Her job is to stay back, heal her carry, and make it easier for their strengths to shine. She isn't necessarily a play maker, but a catalyst of plays that could be made. If they buffed her playmaking skills, it might be necessary for them to reduce her healing capabilities.
