Tarics .1 Second Scaling Stun

Taric

Okay, I understand that not all cc has to increase in duration when its ranked up, but adding .1 second for each rank of Dazzle just seems a little cruel. Especially when it is his only form of cc, comparing Taric to other peel based supports like Braum, Lulu, or Morg who all have multiple considerably more CC in the forms of Polymorphs, Slows, or Stuns who also have those durations increase to up to 3 seconds in some cases makes the .1 second seem like a big middle finger to anyone who wants to play him. It seems like Taric has no place at all other than a top lane pick against all ad comps where he can stack 500 armor. I mean this is probably a really easy fix and honestly the fact that this has been around so long is a shame. Give him maybe make it cap at 2 seconds like Rammus taunt, or Fiddle fear, maybe give him a buff to his heal to match the heal rate of other champs like Sona or Soraka. Though i currently think his W is just fine a built in slow could help him too. It just seems like Taric hasn't been in the spotlight since they were playing with his passive. Taric really doesn't excel at anything you would need from a support.

He's kind of like a crappy Leona. He has a lot of potential if they'd give him a Tristana-level rework.

His kit is outdated, let's just wait for his rework. Once his stun isn't point and click anymore it could actually have higher scaling.

Unless they are removing his stun altogether, who knows.

I'd rather they just buff him than wait another 2 years in the hope they decide to rework him after they do Poppy or whoever is next in line after her. Plus their are champs who have higher scaling point and click cc abilites. Lulu Polymorph, or any of the other champs who bring in just way way way more cc and utility, as in literally every other support. I think Taric is the only dedicated support with just one form of cc

I don't think we have that long to wait, if I remember right, it was confirmed that his rework is "going well" and we would probably get it before Poppy rework is done.

For this year that means you'll almost certainly see multiple other gameplay reworks before Poppy this year. Expectation is that she'll be the next really big one though.

Sounds like Taric will be one of them.

If I'm not mistaken I'm prety sure Taric might be the same scale unless he is more of a Kassadin Vu with a couple spell changes.

His win rate is 52% same as sona, and higher then sorakas... he not that bad.

The reason Taric's stun scales with .1 seconds is because it was originally a 1.5 second stun at all ranks, but that was toxic as hell because Taric just picked up one rank in Dazzle and then maxed Shatter to get that 30 armor aura in lane. So Riot reduced the duration early and gave it a scaling that made it slightly longer at level 9 to compensate. Then they ruined his desire to level Shatter in lane by making it a scaling armor aura (which is nice, I guess, but it forces him to build armor which solidifies that he is only useful against AD comps) and of course no one levels his Imbue in lane. (140 mana cost at rank 5 never forget).
