yes I actually am, I'm procrastinating my homework immensely and am having difficulty focusing. Thank you for noticing

Clearly you guys all suck at Soraka.
Yes, the CC supports are good with Draven. That doesn't mean Soraka is bad with him. Soraka Draven is an incredibly strong lane.

Soraka and Draven are good together because Draven has the built-in damage and mobility to allow Soraka to spam starcall in trades. This allows Soraka to be a threat, which makes it very hard to trade with this lane. The fact that she can heal Draven for massive amounts makes this fact even more true.
None of the reasons you listed make

Mistakes happen. Being able to push your trading advantage with the security of having a massive heal and armor steroid behind you lets you turn what would have been a mistake into a favorable outcome.

Soraka is not more of a threat when paired with high dps/high mobility champions
yes she is. The same way Vayne's more of a threat when Xin Zhao is in your face, as opposed to say... Mundo being in your face.

I'm also not seeing how she is able to use Starcall more or more effectively when paired with one of these champions.
So there are these things called threat and pressure...

One of the reasons we haven't seen Soraka as much in season 3 has been because of the prominence of 2v1 lanes.
The reason soraka is only picked about 6% of the time is because the only team that's been running 'protect' comps a lot in the pro scene is really CLG, and they tend to favor supports like Lulu or Janna. This influences the "meta" but does not dictate the actual strength of champions. Merely what pro teams have been practicing. Soraka Draven is a very strong 2v1 lane, as it can both push, and harass, even under tower.
Now I'm not going to say that I believe


It's one of those things thats better saved for duos.
Most Sorakas do in fact suck, hence my disdain for having her as a support. I openly assume they suck when they lock her in. she is harder to play and at my elo, most people cant handle champs like that.

And in the case of duos the better choice is a cc heavy support like leona thresh or blitz, since you can be sure to coordinate with each other. So basically that gives you almost no reason to go soraka draven unless you're the soraka, and even then if you are the support so you know you're good then why not play a cc heavy support. In fact I can think of no instance in which you would rather go soraka draven than thresh draven. Maybe if you were against a kill lane like a darius jarvan lane?
I personally like playing man mode
Soraka. Building her aggressively and maxing silence with autos is silly. She can trade with AD carries easily by herself. People just suck at being man mode with her.
Edit: YES, Darius/J4 lane. I've done that. Dunk city. [{Darius]] is the support though, cause jarvan gets **** done.

Well this is Mobafire, isn't it?
Good point.
EDIT: I was going to make the same points as OTG just made, but since he made them I'll just say "Ditto".
