i know i probably sound like a fkn baddie and i wont deny it, but i played her today and her heals are insane
like say ekko uses his sht on the carry and u just heal him back to 60% while is cooldowns are gone and in lane her and her adc have the craziest sustain
Don't go for trades with Soraka's adc. It's not worth it, you're basically never going to come out on the winning side. The only damage worth doing is onto Soraka herself.
If Soraka has no flash, this is the perfect time for a gank. She's low mobility and only has e for self peel. Try to bait out the silence beforehand to make the gank easier, at rank 1 it has about a 20 second cd.
For the love of god don't dive her, and don't let your jungler dive her. This is especially true if she has Silence, exhaust, ult or the adc has heal. You will probably die. I couldn't tell you the number of times I, or my adc gets a kill because the enemy jungler yolo dives during a gank. This is a bad idea, don't do it.
be content to farm it out. Pick an adc like Corki who can farm safely and has a dash to save himself if things get ugly. This is something a lot of people are not comfortable doing, but it's most likely your best option.
If you have an APC (and chances are that you do) they have to buy Morellonomicon. While Sorakas ult can cleanse Grievous wounds, it's still incredibly effective when bursting a target while her ult is down.
Soraka **has **to be focused during teamfights. If you've got an assassin or someone who can get to the back line, they have to take out the Soraka. This isn't necessarily an easy task, but if you leave Soraka alive your chances of winning the fight dwindle as it drags on because of the sustain. Soraka excels in extended fights.
You can't fight Soraka by focusing on her ADC. You need to put her in situations where she has to make a choice between healing with her W and using her Q to heal herself. Put the damage onto her. Make the ADC use their skills to peel you from their support instead. If you lock her down, she'll most likely start making "interesting" item build choices (like buying armor) instead of focusing on her AP or Health pool to increase her effectiveness later in the game. Then you just keep outscaling her. I hope this helps.
If you focus Soraka she will have to use Q in order to heal herself. This is mana intensive and not a long term strategy she can keep doing. Eventually she will run out of mana and that's when you can focus the carry. Also get her low enough and her heals stop happening :)
tl;dr Focus Soraka and poke her down before focusing her carry
