That was sort of what I was trying to get at. My build may not be what people expect, but by mid game I've started playing support. Early game I play more caster/DPS than anything, saving heals for situations when they're actually needed instead of spamming them (which is why most people have mana problems with Soraka). Buying better items means that I sustain myself much longer in a lane. Not only can I support with heals, but I can 2v1 if needed, I can mid if needed, I can fit myself into almost any caster-related role the team might need. In my opinion this is another kind of supporting, but I don't know how many other people play this way.
I've also experimented with playing Soraka as sort of an anti-carry (which works surprisingly well), but I wouldn't recommend that for novice Soraka players, as it's actually kind of difficult.

She can silence with infuse and DPS their health/lower their MR with starcall. Infuse has a pretty good AP ratio so you can deal quite a lot of damage with it with almost no items, and starcall deals progressively more damage with every hit (and boosts infuse's damage). The combo of the two is what makes it devastating: If you can get 3 or 4 starcall hits on a carry that's usually enough to make their magic resist about zero at low levels so then you're doing true damage with infuse. I've only done it a few times and, like I said, it's pretty difficult to do...It works better if your build has a Rylai's so you get a little more CC.
Still:
She really can't do **** against carries. She can really only support others.
She's squishy as **** and doesn't have high base damage.

Again, I'm not saying it's easy and I did recommend Rylai's for more than just the slow lol. It's certainly not viable for ranked play, but it's fun to do something crazy different every once in a while.
Thank you for at least agreeing that it's not viable in competitive play.
All I talk about is competitive play. I don't see the point of fooling around but at the same time being serious(wanting to win).

"I also am Otherkin. Whenever autumn rolls around I can feel my kin-type slowly taking over my body. You must know, I identify as pumpkin. I can control it pretty good most of the time, but when September ends, I just cant hold it in anymore. Whenever Im outside I see my brothers and sisters being chopped into soup, coffee, donuts, cake, drinks, bread - ppl even cut human faces into their skin, making a mockery out of their noble appearance. When I see things like that I cant control my pumpkin urges anymore. My natural instincts kick in. I then sit down motionless, while getting bright orange." - Morgana L

There are AP support sorakas too. Support isn't about the build, it's about the playstyle.
