Pyke already isn't able to gain bonus health, instead converting it into AD, so the precedent is there. Having Soraka convert bonus health into bonus self-healing would, IMO, fix a number of problems for her. For starters, she'd be better able to restore herself (her Q's self-heal is kinda crappy), but not be able to become a tank by poaching a Warmog's.
Just something to think about.
Warlord Rhinark2 votesWhilst the idea is creative in theory, it's terrible in practice.
Not only would it make Soraka even more of a Heal bot than she already is (which is something Riot didn't like, which is why it now costs Health for her to heal her allies), it would also make life a living hell for the Soraka player because she would get killed in two hits.
At least Pyke has a self-healing mechanic and high base stats to make up for his inability to build health. Soraka would just become the champion of choice for masochists to play (more than she already is, that is).

rayzo1 votesTBH this is a bad idea. It hurts enough that Soraka is so squishy, but to remove the option to build health at all? Seriously?
KÌNDRÊD1 votesthis is stupid since soraka has to build health items to able to stay healthy late game
your first point about her Q being a crappy heal for herself, well that is her "balance" that crappy heal makes her balanced because if she had a strong heal she would either be free win or perma banned, her Q's are ez to land if you know how to play her, tip is to Q whilst the enemy is in an action that they cant move it, example would be an auto attack
and your second point about tank warmogs, remember if you are a tank you need 2 things, health and resistance, so building warmog is not as op as you think, even though she has a bunch of health, she wont have any armour or magic resist so that health gets malted fast, but if she builds health and resistances then she doesn't have the support aspect of her champion and she loses the bonus healing affects thats she gets from support items making her heals weaker
so its either she has strong heals and gets bursted easier or weak heals and lives longer, and her Q gibes enough health for her to sustain but not too much that she can heal any mistake that she does, sounds balanced to me
