buff all of the items he likes to build
buff the fuck out of his early game, the only point in time where he's actually weak
also buff his late game, even though he's got the best late game of any support already, and 'compensate' it with a .25 second stun nerf that won't matter because his stun uptime is going to be much higher
good changes, i don't even know why i bother playing anything else when taric is already so easy to carry with
Skias2 votesEasy to carry with my ass. Taric's effectiveness is 100% tied to how stupid your team is. Nothing like ulting and watching your entire team run from you, half don't get the invul, the ones that are leave you to die, then they go back in and wipe. It's nice that he's finally getting reasonable mana efficiency at the trade off of weaker healing in general. Also, this is a hit to his late game. It's a trade off, I'm fine with it. Bramble is another thing, that is just a great and needed to response to lifesteal stacking and bullshitty death's dance. Don't want thornmail buffs? Accept that lifesteal will have to be gutted without a release.
Big Lincoln1 votesi don't care what your terrible teams do,that's like saying ADCs aren't actually able to carry because they don't get peel
sure, ignore that when your team isn't boosted they're OP, let's go to the worst case because we should balance "high skill cap" champions around silver players not knowing how to work around taric's busted late game
Also, this is a hit to his late game.
he's got like .1 less mana regen and .25 seconds off stun, in exchange for 2 seconds less cooldown on it (which translates to stacking his other abilities faster). do tell me how this isn't a straight buff
AlienPrimate1 votesThat 2 seconds off his e cooldown does absolutely nothing for his late game. He can already perma combo without stopping with e,aa,aa,q,aa, aa, w, aa, aa, q, aa, aa, e
Big Lincoln1 votescool. and now it's easier.
AlienPrimate1 votesIt can't get any easier. Do you even Taric? The cooldowns are set up in such a way that the combo I listed gives exact cooldowns provided that you don't build any attack speed. It doesn't matter what your cdr is because the inverse function of his passive.

He has plenty of counters. Forcing him to itemize heavily into AP. Shred. Kiting. CC. He's also the most expensive support to scale.
meowwow71 votesyeah that's how i got gold this season
Merbstrom1 votesQ max has better rewards than his other abilities, and worse single rotations with stun duration down. Q incentivisation over both e and w is a nerf in many cases. Other champs will probably still heal better than him even after the changes. And the ability to spam q constantly is dumb but requires at least 3-4 points /stacks to be efficient.
