Not really. Her burst heal is pitiful late with no AP, and she's often focused due to no MS or mobility. Against AD teams, wouldn't taric technically be better? Stun that zed and give everyone armor.
Usually, yes, but against specific assassins like zed, raka is actually a really good pick. 2.5 second silence + massive heals and armor buff drop his damage down to practically 0. Taric gives only very little armor but it is an aura while raka is single target, hence raka is stronger vs single target burst.

this...
Soraka is terrible against sustained damage because of her long CDs...and she's a bad straight up pick because she's so easy to counter with it....but she can be used to counterpick single target burst with some success.
I thought point-click hard cc is good against him? (Fiddle like GMD said, Taric), but honestly I don't really know.
^ That's right. I think many assassins are quite easily countered by such long-term hard CC in general, since they just can't do their assassin-thingy anymore and get focussed because most assassins are just fragile. But then again, basically anyone can get countered by hard CC and focus fire, lol.

I've seen in certain ranked plays where some people will just level up Q instead of R on Elise toplane, since those spiderlings are just wayyy too fragile nowadays (and Q does op demege).

I don't think Taric would be as effective as Lulu or Raka or Fiddles against Zed specifically or maybe bursty assassins in general because of the slow missile speed of his stun. Also I'm pretty sure the duration is shorter and the rest of his kit doesn't help as much in those situations where Zed ults in or prepares to ult in or wahtever

Id Probably say Soraka Ult Wish is not a major necessity at level 6, its more for when you are closing in on a team battle situation so you could hold it off till level 10 and the give it 2 lvl ups in a row.
I can't imagine a single situation in which you would not take Soraka ult when possible. It's a global heal that heals for as much as a rank 3 Astral Blessing at rank 1. It has many more uses than just team fight situations. It would be like not taking Karthus ult at 6 (maybe not that bad, but same idea) because 'you aren't going to team fight until around level 10'
It's literally the only decent thing about Soraka.
Soraka's pretty bad right now, but her aura's are pretty strong. 16 MR right off the bat is decent, not to mention the armor buff on her heal is massive. She's pretty good against AD heavy teams.
