Reav, Taric's Rework is Missing One Thing...

Taric looks great, and I am a HUGE Yuri Lowenthal fanboy so I'm excited for that.

My issue is that his W has lost its damage, and his ultimate has lost its damage.

I understand that Bravado gives him a nice chunk of damage, but I'm worried you're going to run into the exact same problem you have had with Sona and Tahm Kench where too much of the champion's damage profile is stuffed into one ability, thereby making the champion either ridiculously toxic or totally useless depending on how you tune that ability.

Not to mention, the damage is on auto attacks, just like Sona and Tahm. I understand there's some counterplay with being aware of CDs and such but putting so much damage on a point and click seems like a bad idea for non-marksmen:

Any comments? :D Rework looks amazing otherwise!

Wow, it's almost like he's a utility support or something

That doesn't matter. When Riot released Tahm Kench they said they gave him the passive on his ult because every champion needs to deal a certain amount of damage in their kit.

Taric has 3 abilities that deal no damage. His E can fire twice but if that's your main source of damage you are forced to max it, which reduces his utility considerably in early and mid game.

His W now makes his abilities cast twice from an ally, gives bonus armor, its defensive, doesnt need damage when it doubles your ability output.

Although to be fair, it doesn't double your ability output.... just doubles the aoe of abilities. Overlapping heals don't increase in value and Dazzle doesn't see extra damage or increased stun duration.

fair enough
