Taric visibility issues on Bastion
Is there any chance at getting some improved visibility on Taric's Bastion ability? There are a couple of major issues that I've noticed playing as and with Taric:
-
There is no leash range indicator. When you have someone bound to you, you can tell whether or not they are within range at the moment - barely - via the constellation effect linking you on the ground, but the isn't any indication for either player on when that bond is going to break. With enough familiarity you can make a fair guess, but so many other champions get a thin white line or an arrow indicator to let them know how close they are to breaking the leash. It's very nearly as important for Taric to know that he's about to snap away from his ally as it is for Orianna to know The Ball is going to reattach to her.
-
There is very little visual tracking on Bastion. If I leave a teamfight after bouncing it around for shielding and positioning, I have to check each ally's buffs individually until I find the currently bound champion. Since the bond reestablishes from outside of the cast range of Bastion, knowing quickly if I'm currently bound to an ally I'm coming to gank for or attempt to save is invaluable, and a small indicator, a gem or some such thing floating over their head would make it much clearer to me and my teammates who I'm attached to, while also giving the enemy tactical information that they should have access to without checking each player for buffs anytime that player goes off screen for a moment.
-
Reattachment is too visually quiet. While the constellation indicator is all well and good after the link is established, it would be nice to see immediately on an ally that they are now a valid origin point for my spells. If an indicator is added ala my 2nd point, having it light up while Taric is in range would be quite helpful. Otherwise, just having a noticable animation play on Taric when he reaches range would make his gameplay a lot better, since he wouldn't need to blow urgent spells just outside of range or wait until he can confirm the constellation indicator has shown up (especially if terrain blocks the view of it near Taric's camera).
I'd like it if I could get any feedback from other players on how they feel on this, and whether they feel like this would be beneficial or just distracting.
