I have only 1 wish. As i play taric. Dont make this become the next Ryze Cassiopeia Mordekaiser .

Pretty please?

With ruby on top?

ihaveapotionSep 23, 20152 votes

i mained taric since S1, i swear to god if they even actually change a single skill on his kit, so not 'reworking' him like they 'reworked' ashe i will fucking explode. I have 800 euros in this game and they better not molest taric. I will have to kill everyone on the planet if they do.

stealthfox94Sep 24, 201516 votes

Calm down there captain.

HentRexSep 24, 20151 votes

Well as a fellow Taric main. Let me know what you think of this. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/W3TwRPWs-a-comprehensive-taric-reworkbring-the-gem-knight-back

Note I'm still unsure about Dazzle Might revert it back to normal as well.

ihaveapotionSep 24, 20151 votes

I want taric to keep his heal, also his stun should never become a skillshot, hes a fucking tank not a carry. he RELIES on it.

HentRexSep 24, 20151 votes

Ya i know about the stun, was think at the time i wrote that, Taric gets no play because he has zero mechanics, lets change that. I do agree there but on the heal, right now the heal is the only thing that sucks on support taric. It simply doesn't do enough. But I'd rather them not buff that and reduce him elsewhere. So thats why I thought to rework it into his passive.

ihaveapotionSep 25, 20151 votes

why the flying fucking hell do all champs need flashy mechanics, taric not having flashy mechanics is a good thing, it makes him original and have a calm and tanky feel about him. If riot gives him dashes and skillshots then he turns into a carry and FUCK THAT.

HentRexSep 25, 20151 votes

Ok I agreed about the stun. Or did you not see that? His heal right now is lack luster at best. It's decent if used solo but not as a support skill. The one skill shot I and changed his stun too would not give him "flashy" mechanics. The Q was a damage reflector. Jinx wants to ult low hp adc step in front kill jinx instead. Maybe thats what you were talking about as flashy but it would fit support Taric's play style. The passive I made I really like. Taric is not know for big damage so he's healing his adc little by little. You're either healing and pushing the wave or letting damage stick. Has pro's and con's. Never gave him a dash. And changed his Ult from team aura(aura's make me sick) to single target mega buff. Now that said, I agree with you that Taric needs to stay basic and not have super high mechanic level abilities. I was trying to create a little mechanical play with a skill shot though. But I also admit he should keep it. "Most reliable stun in game." Nothing I changed made him a carry. If anything it cemented his role as support.

NaharaSep 23, 20153 votes

I'm really glad it's you working on the Taric rework. Gives me hope you've been able to put him in a spot where he can compete against the likes of Thresh, Braum, and Leona.

StealthWardenSep 23, 20153 votes

its legit imo. gangrape cant gives the oranges like taric can gives the gems so its k

HentRexSep 23, 201521 votes

100% true. Although if you are cycling your skill properly as Taric, your heal is up far more frequently than GP's. So you should still out heal him. Unless for some god awful reason it's AP GP.

StealthWardenSep 23, 20151 votes

in that case, the most likely reason he was out healed was gp had more than usual levels in oranges.

HentRexSep 23, 201514 votes

AP GP maxes oranges first right?

But Taric is supposed to be a supportive kind of guy, nor does he do near the amount of damage as Gangplank nor have his Q poke, so his heal should be stronger.

StealthWardenSep 23, 20151 votes

if i remember correctly his self heal is stronger than his targeted heal... based on what you said , they should switch those around and make the supportive heal stronger, like soraka, and reduce his dueling power to focus on support role. In which case, you should still lose the heal battle 1v1 vs gangplank.

HalcyonDwellerSep 23, 20152 votes

You're talking about a lot of 'shoulds.' this post is about the reality of what Taric is right now. Right now, with his self heal being as strong as it is, Taric should out-heal Gangplank.

SlyfoxkanSep 24, 20152 votes

Generally things on a lower the CD have weaker numbers hence why gangplank and his orange has a high CD but come with a potentially higher heal, emphasis on potentially considering his heal is based on missing health
