It's hard to lose bot with Soraka but it's also hard to win it cause she can't really help you burst things down or anything.
Like if you try gradual harass Soraka owns you but if you just brute in and go for blood you probably win the lane if you've got like Taric or Poppy or Lulu or Alistar backing you up.
At least that's what I tend to notice. I never really sweat Soraka lanes too much unless we've got a really dumb lane comp like Shen + Yi or something. (or my lanemate is passive as hell-- which doesn't happen often since I'm usually the support when I'm down there and carries will tend to follow you in if you initiate... usually)

No problem!
