Soraka is now broken why mess a good thing up?

As lame as it sounds, I liked playing Soraka. As a support there is some really clutch stuff that you can do to help win games, I loved that. Unfortunately, Soraka is now so difficult to keep alive that I rarely play her.

-The change for starcall to a targeted AOE is logical; I used to be really aggressive in order to help push my lane with the old version. As far as improvements, that was it as far as I am concerned.

-The AOE silence is garbage, players can just walk out of the little circle and they are back to full on. I liked targeting one player in particular because you know they are down for a couple. I also liked that you had the choice of using it to replenish your teammate's mana. It was very versatile.

• The inability to heal yourself directly is utter BS. It used to be that if you were good enough, you could go toe to toe 1 v 1 with an enemy champ and possibly win. I used to self heal, starcall and silence to sometimes win. This is no longer the case, the healing received by star call is too minimal.

-It is too hard to heal with astral infusion from the back and stay full enough health. This leaves you now a squishy little twerp at the front lines who needs to score a multi shot starcall in order to regain significant health. If you have to heal a teammate while up there then you are instantaneously the target because you are losing life in order to give it and get pummeled to death quickly because you have ultra low defenses.

IMHO, change her back except the starcall, problem solved.

Anyone have other thoughts or solutions?
