Another look at Soraka

I loved Soraka, I really did. I best fit into the support roll and my favorite champions to use was Soraka and Sona. But Soraka's rework really killed her for me. The first time I played her new kit was in ARAM. I always tried to grab either of the two because I'm pretty good with them and they're really good in ARAM. I bought my normal items, selected her skills as I normally did and ran in without realizing she was updated. We were wrecked. Trying to heal myself many times never worked and my starcalls were all dodged. I was devastated. So I went to play against bots to really work out her new kit, find what worked and what didn't. And I am still trying to find a build for her. Of course bots are easy and they don't really fight back. So when I took her against other players I was again devastated. Starcalls are easy to dodge at max range, Equinox can easily be walked through with no root. And her Astral Infusion leaves her nearly dead after a couple quick casts. She used to be my go to girl but now it honestly makes me sick to even look at her.

I have an idea on how to fix the problems I have with her. Mostly its her heal costing 10% of her max health. Its been said before, but itemizing around this is really difficult. Since her passive heal does not scale with her max health it really deters you from building health items. If you really want to restrict her from spamming her heals lets try a way that doesn't leave her dead. Using her kit as is, why not have Astral Infusion use a resource that she gains from Starcall? Lets say every time she hits with Starcall she collects 'stardust' instead. In order to cast Astral Infusion she needs a certain amount of stardust to do it. She can only hold so much stardust so she cant just save up a bunch and spam her heals. Then you can make her Astral Infusion able to heal herself and possibly give her back the added armor she used to if you increase the cooldown time on it. Of course to deter people from spamming her in mid or top lanes you can make her heal herself for half the normal amount or less, or make it cost more stardust to do so. This way you can easily tweak the numbers to find the sweet spot without punishing players for just using her skills and buying items with health attached. To much sustain? She can carry less stardust. She can spam her heal over and over wile hitting with starcall? She uses more stardust. This might be better then seriously nerfing her passive health regen to slow down her healing rate without hitting her skillshots.

Before this rework I've never come to the forums for any reason let alone comment on anything. But now I periodically check to see if there is any Riot post saying they're going to do something with her. So I beg for a response. Will Soraka get another look? I want to know whether she will get some attention and have her kinks worked out or I should give up hope that I can find Soraka playable again. I posted the link to the top comment on her rework page. You dont get to 2.2k likes without a few people thinking the same way.
