Buff The Starchild

Soraka. What can she offer as a support? Hm... Heals and... Heals... And of course, heals. Personally, spammable healing just isn't enough to be honest. Yes, a silence and a slow too. But God, that's just annoyingly weak if you compare with Janna's knockup, Leona's stuns, Thresh's hook or Lulu's polymorph. I think she needs something extra, perhaps not the biggest extra, but an extra. For example:

Her E also slows by 30-50%, making the "rooting chances" increase.
Her R also frees all her allies from any kinds of CC.
Her heal (W) also offers a 10-25% speed buff.
Her Q's radius increases, a bit, cause otherwise it'd be too OP in early game.

All these suggestions doesn't have to be fullfilled of course, but I'd really appreciate if Riot could see this and do something. Oh, and if you guys have other buff suggestions, comment! Thanks :)

Soraka is fine where she is, yes, she has heals, two for allies, two for herself, thats alright. She also has a silence and a snare and a damaging self heal with a global heal, I think she's fine where she is. -A Soraka player

I know, but... Wouldn't it be cool with a buff? I mean, that'd awsome, right?! And compared to other supports, she's doesn't have any real laning advantages. But of course, she's kinda OK where she is right now. And it's nice that you're a Soraka player :)

I mean, a buff would be cool, but unnecessary. This would lead to riot either nerfing something else on her or reverting the buff.

I would love to see her q range and landing speed increase in late game where is almost useless.

YES! I agree on THAT one! In late game, everyone are too fast, and can easily avoid my Q's. It's pretty annoying tbh

She really doesn't need one... She is a spam healer that is her kit

Maybe her ult should just cleanse effects instead of heal?

Idk. Personally I hate fighting Soraka because of the amount of heals she has. Yes, she's the healer, but that's been her main issue in balance anyway.

I think that all changes you said are pretty major and would make her too strong.

I really want to see her buffed though.
