Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-2 are all yours: Soraka is one of the most immobile, self-damaging enchanters, so your Q-slow walk-in plus a P proc and ADC follow-up forces her to bleed health healing herself. She has no CC beyond a slow E root that costs a cast, and no escape, so every trade goes your way. Bully her off the wave and she loses both lane presence and the health she needs to sustain.
