I've got the perfect solution to fix Taric's Q stacks!

This is seriously doing a number on my ocd, that 5th stack is completely useless, you never get to 5 stacks in your rotation so ranking your Q up to 5 literally just increases the mana cost! Listen to me guys, the solution is very simple, at rank 1, make each passive hit restore 0.5 heal charges, rank 2, make each hit restore 1 full charge, at rank 3, each hit restores 0.75 charges, rank 4, 1 full charge, and then at rank 5, 1.25 charges! That way Taric will always be able to get his Q to max stacks during his rotation without ever wasting a passive hit!

So at ranks 1 and 2 he'd need 2 passive hits to get max charges, then at ranks 3, 4, and 5 he would need 4 passive hits to get max charges!

Please riot you gotta do this, rebalance all the statistics as far as heals per stack and mana costs, whatever you want, just please consider making this change to how his stacks work!

That actually nerfs his level 3 Q pretty hard if he is trying to heal spam.

Really just changing it to 1.25 charges per hit at all ranks accomplishes the same goal.

At rank 1 you are capped at 1 charge so it makes no difference.
At rank 2 you are capped at 2 so it makes no difference unless you auto once after casting Q, in which case it has a slightly shorter CD than live.
At rank 3 you gain 2/3 charges and have half CD on the 3rd charge, but in combat you are most likely comboing anyways so it makes no difference. Makes him slightly more mana efficient when it comes to healing since he can Q>aa>aa then wait for only half the CD. However since Taric's usually don't get 3 ranks in Q until they have to this is a very minor buff since most of the use is in laning phase and only healer Tarics will make use of that.
At rank 4 it only makes a difference if you Q>aa>aa>W/E/E>aa and then are forced back which hardly ever happens at that point. Otherwise it still takes 2 abilities to get to max stacks.
At rank 5 you ready your 5th charge in only 4 hits instead of the current 5.

So it really only buffs Taric pre rank 5 Q if he is forced off the wave or has 3/4 ranks in Q and wants to conserve 60 mana while healing.

A change I would prefer is moving the 5th point from his Q to a different skill much like how Ryze has 6 points in Q and only 2 in R. This could be any of his other 3 skills except ult would be awkward only allowing the 4th point at level 18. I personally think that W would be the best option for 6 points at max rank providing 22.5% of Taric's bonus armor and a 13% hp shield.

Or of course riot could always rollback his Q the way is originally worked after his rework where it had a maximum of 3 stacks but you got all of them at level 1 and the healing and mana cost just went up per rank, only this time just make the max stacks 4 instead of 3 so that you aren't wasting a passive hit c:
