Taric Rework Proposal

lostbob117··1 votes·600 views

Passive Every Autoattack lowers Taric's Cooldowns. This passive has a CD.

[Context: This CD creates a way for Taric to have shorter CDs so he can be a partial threat. Also, he doesn't have the best sticking so he'll do better off with a CD on his passive so his CDs on his abilities can be a bit lower.]

Q Gem Barrier - Taric puts a shield on target ally or himself. Scaling off his max HP. After the shield duration runs out the target with the shield gains half of the leftover shield as HP.

[Context: This allows Taric to protect his allies much better while keeping his heal for sustain in lane in his kit.]

W Shield Earthquake - Taric slams down his shield creating a small field and damaging enemies who get hit by the small field as it is created. Any enemy in the field gets reduced Armor and Magic Resist and has a short duration when they step out of the field. As the enemy is in the field they get a small slow.

W Passive Gives allies Armor and Magic Resist.

E Gem Shield Bash - Taric shoots a Gem Shield at target, dealing damage and interrupts the target. (Shorter range than his current stun)

[Context: Due to the loss of some range on this ability, Taric will be able to be buffed with his move speed. Which would help his entire kit a lot.]

R Outrageous Smash! - Taric yells "OUTRAGEOUS!" and smacks his hammer on the ground. He creates a large field of Gems. Any ally in the field gets a buff for increased AD, AP, and AS. Any enemy the field hits as it is being created his damaged.

[Context: Taric's main problem was being a walking pile of auras. This makes him a Champion who relies on decisively placing his abilities to make them the most effective.]

What do you guys think?


To note, there was discussion in another spot about wanting his E to stun. I think it would be better to be an AOE push back. (just pushes the enemy and can't work with Yasuo's ult)

Too many re-works already done. We need better, more balanced, fun to play champion with good outplay potential. Not constantly change everything from under our feet.

I used to main Taric , and I love this, especially the Q. That's a great idea that is unique to your proposal, as far as I can tell, and it fits his concept perfectly. Love it.

I also love your W passive. I have been saying to my friends that play this game for a LONG time that this would help Taric a TON. Right now, he's a situational pick when the enemy team has a lot of AD. If you pick him in double AP comps, he's mostly useless, and it makes enough sense that his magical gem aura could give MR, maybe more sense than armor. Great ideas; it's a shame this thread isn't getting more attention.

This is awesome but for a flashy celebrity outrageously dashing paladin type, I feel like Taric should have better utility and counterplay to his kit. Maybe a gap closer of some kind or a knockup. And while I feel passive auras are really what makes Taric, well.. Taric, I think they should make his passive the armor/mr buff for allies and give the rest of his kit better utility. It would make him comparable to other supports. Just my 2 cents.
