Riot is searching in the wrong places in my opinion for the support issue. They shouldn't nerf current supports like Sona or Soraka but should instead buff the utility on Champions like Lux or Orianna so they can rival Janna and Alistar. They're ignoring that Soraka can't do anything by herself because her q gets maxed so late compared to sona's q and janna's bonus shield AD. Her heal also has a long cooldown and the armour buff on it is a big deal, using it every time it's off cd isn't the best approach usually so it requires some actual thinking. Sona does it all but none of it amazingly. Soraka outheals her, Janna outcc's her. She's fairly balanced to me, but it's hard to measure the impact her aura's have on a fight. I just love the support role as it's the only role that's actually constantly focused on the champions instead of the minions due to no last hitting. I've played over 15 varieties but in the end some just don't have what it takes compared to others. Soraka goes OOM easily if she's in an extended skirmish where she uses Q, she's balanced enough too in my opinion.
