Taric is too sexy for no giving him love

Ok people, im not a Taric main, but i love playing him, he in fact was my first main, anyway, im feeling kinda fustrated with him and im gonna explain why. (im spanish sorry for my english)(also im not very good at this but in the end i will sum everything up) So i was thinking "wow taric feels so weak now" and i decided to try to talk to someone on twitter to see if they buff him, and they told to to come here so that is what i did. The last time he was touched was JANUARY 31. Its being some time, and a lot of things has changed in the game, for example the rising of ap supports, most of whom are ranged,wich overall makes tanks not have a fun time.

So, i looked at the stats for the tank supports and i saw that every tank support has more armor than him not only in early but also in late game with a very big distance:

TaricTaric : 40 – 97.8 LeonaLeona : 47 – 108.2 BlitzBlitzcrank : 44 – 112 BraumBraum : 47 – 115 Tahm kenchTahmKench : 47 – 106.5

But they have the same exact magic resistance for some reason that i cant understand, so he is the worst of every tank support. So after i read that I thought "ok it makes sense if he has some good heals because he is not really a tank support" so i decided to see other healers in the game and i saw this in a support focus:

TaricTaric : _ AP ratio_: 20%-100% Heal: 30-150 with 5 stacks _ Mana cost_: 70-110 Base mana: 300 – 1320
SonaSona : AP ratio: 25% + 30% Heal: 30-110 + Shield 25-125 Mana cost: 80-110 Base mana: 340.6 – 1105.6
SorakaSoraka : AP ratio: 60% Heal: 80-200 Mana cost: 50-70 Base mana: 350.8 – 1370.8
NamiNami : AP ratio: 30% Heal: 60-160 Mana cost: 70-130 Base mana: 377.2 – 1108.2
YuumiYuumi : _ AP ratio_: 10% Heal: 30-70(minimum) Mana cost: 30-70 Base mana: 400 – 1165

Overall seems kinda decent right? Well there is problems with that, he is healing 60hp because in a tf you cant get to heal your max because your passive Bravado only gives you 2 charges using 110 mana everytime, so you can heal 12 times a total of 720 hp so it is not that great because for example nami can heal 8 times healing a maximum of 1280 hp and im not even counting the ap ratio because the rest of the healers also has to build ap items. Also, yes, the taric healing is in area, so he can heal a total of 720*5= 3600 hp total but thats only is if they are in the area, wich is a really small area, and of course to heal that you have to forget to use the rest of the abilities. So he is the worst of the healing supports because they all have good damage and/or cc.

So basically he is the worst of the tanks and the worst of the healers, wich means he does decent in the two aspects, the thing is that he is kinda fustrating because you relay in the passive to heal, and if the adcs are fighting with no minions and the other is a kalista poking far from you, you cant do shit, you cant tank and you cant heal.

He is not weak, so, why he has a 1.9% pick rate in all ranks? even when he has a good win ratio? i mean, less pickrate better winrate. So, why people dont play him even when he is not bad? easy, he is fustrating, not doing anything good is fustrating, so i have a buff-nerf to boost that pick ratio:

-Give him like 2 armor early and boost his late game armor to at least 100, he will still be the weakest tank but will be better. -Reduce his q cost for late game to like 100 OR make his passive had 3 stacks not 2 -Increase his e mana cost -Increase his w cooldown ALSO PLEASE MAKE HIM NOT STOP MOVING WHILE HE IS USING HIS Q, EVEN WHEN HE KEEPS WALKING WHITOUT RECASTING IT HE STOPS FOR LIKE HALF A SECOND TO USE HIS Q AND IS REALLY FUSTRATING WHEN YOU ARE TRYING NOT TO DIE WHEN YOU ARE GETTING CHASED Also, this is serious, his last skin was pool party taric, and it was released 13th of July 2016, it was too long and he is to sexy to forget, so please new skin a cool one please please

Probably i did some math wrong, but you get the point, please, make the shield of valoran visit summoners rift more so we can enjoy his view. Feel free to post your opinions, im not probably gonna answer anything because im busy(it also makes me anxious)but im sure other summoners will answer.

Taric is the old hat; the new shirtless sexy man is Sylas

Taric does have some issues.

  1. his stun is hard to hit on champs that have a lot of mobility
  2. his ult wait time seems like forever before the effect takes place
  3. he doesn't work very well as an engage tank, since he can't easily dive in himself, so he's reliant on someone else to do damage and reliant on someone else to engage

He's a good champion, but in this age of highly mobile 1v9 hypercarries he's antiquated.

taric takes skill to play for less reward than the low skill tank supports. should give him back the targeted stun. pantheon got to keep his so why not?

I hate that he has 1 dmg skill. So he acts like a healer. I hate being a healer in mmos as i like fighting. That said bard snd yuumi are fun. They are ranged giving them more options. I enjoy tanks with somehealing power, but Taric is just so useless.

I think you're looking at Taric wrong. First and foremost, he's not a healer. People make this misconception all the time just because he's got a heal. He's as much of a healer as Nidalee is. Taric's heal is weak for several reasons.

  1. It's spammable.
  2. It's AOE.
  3. He's a tank. The reason it's so weak is because if it wasn't, he'd be able to outheal Soraka and pretty much every other champion in the game with the speed at which he can crack it off. Combined with the fact that it's AOE, this would mean he'd negate pretty much an entire team fight so long as he's got mana. Then there's the fact that he's a tank, which would mean that people could not engage with him if his heal was strong, because they would literally not be able to kill him unless they focused every bit of CC on him, because he could shrug of damage with his defenses and then heal everything else away. So this is why his heal is weaker than most others. It needs to be this way to keep him balanced.

Regarding his armor stats, this is also weak for a reason. His W, Bastion, increases Taric's and his ally's armor based on Taric's armor stat. If he had high armor, this would get really strong, and he'd pretty much make himself and his ally able to power through a good deal of laning phase since the enemy ADC wouldn't be able to get poke to stick. So all in all, Taric has his stats and his heal strength where he needs them to be to not be oppressive in lane.
