You are not a mage,you are a healer, you have very easy to dodge damage abilities and die if someone so much as breaths on you. STOP building ap glass canon. Build resistances, get health regen, stay in the back and heal up your allies, DON'T run into range of the enemy Talon so he can delete you. I don't care if you are diamond rank, this is basic stuff that anyone should realize about what is essentially League's equivalent of a white mage.

Wow... what a douche, your META isn't everyone meta, and talon can instakill every mage and adc easily
... You DO realize that Soraka HAS to land her Starcall on a regular basis, or she can no longer heal, right? Her heal now costs 10% of her health, and can no longer target herself. Starcall and ult is her only self heal.
Soraka isn't playable by someone who can't land skillshots, anymore. Personally, I hate the new Soraka, but Dear Old Rito (Or D.O.Rito for short) is taking the game in a direction that frankly is a bad one, upping the difficulty of all the training wheel champs (eg, those whose purpose was to teach people how to play) and shooting themselves in the foot if they have any real intention of taking LoL into a season 5 and 6.
Just my $.02
Soraka should not be up front but she has to get at least 300 ap for her heals to be worth 10% of her health plus mana. Just get TOG, Hourglass and maybe mikeals and aram should be a breeze. Land those shots and for the love of god stay out of aoe ults.
