Poor Soraka ...

After the recent patch (5.24), got a pretty big nerf. While it didn't destroy her nor made her join the bench, it's still something that troubles me.

Played a recent match with her, and I do main Soraka. Problem is, no longer can I keep my team alive in team fights. Before the patch, I was able to tank certain doom and keep the party alive long enough to come out victorious, but now thanks to my ultimate not removing Grievous Wounds along with my W having more mana cost per cast ... it feels like my character gets drained too quickly (because 60 mana per cast is quite costly overtime especially during mid game) to stay useful in combat.

Perhaps this is a sign I need to make a different build with her, or just need to play safer. I can't go the frontlines with her anymore. Heck I might to be tankier with my build because Riot shortened the range of her starcall which is risking my character's safety.

How do you guys feel about Soraka now? Is there a proper way to build her, to make up for the nerfs? I would hate to abandon Soraka because she is my main support character, and would bring joy to people in harsh match ups. Feels like Soraka is going to suffer late game because of these three nerfs inflicting her early game, at least in my opinion.
