Can Riot tweak and bring back Battle Priestess Soraka?

And maybe rename it as a part of the "Battle Regalia" line?

Is that a Draenei Paladin? It's before my time at Riot and I don't think I've ever seen it before o.O

That must explain why Ghostcrawler had her nerfed

The reason you haven't seen it is because they decided the theme doesn't fit Soraka.

However I think she would be healthier as a battle mage rather than a poke mage. (enemy get's access)

Personally, I've never understood why people seem to like that skin. Just... looks weird to me.

Because of Rule 34 Draeneï.

i believe the skin was scrapped and reworked into Celestine Soraka

Thankfully this one was scrapped. Although Celestine Soraka isn't much better. Reaper and Divine are the only 2 good skins for Raka imo. I don't think the program skin is that great, but I guess OotB is alright.

I like this idea

There are some posts from Ironstylus about why it was canceled here: http://www.surrenderat20.net/2012/09/ironstylus-on-battle-priestess-soraka.html

I'd note where he mentions how it looked bad with her current animations. While the idea of a more armored Soraka is interesting, imagine how silly it would look with her auto animations where she would elegantly flick her 'hammer' in the air to throw out a little banana, it doesn't really live up to the theme of the skin.

I don't think they're going to revive that concept because nowadays Riot is pretty strict about consistent visual clues on characters. Soraka is meant to be squishy so giving her an armored skin sends out the wrong visual signal.
