can you make it so that when I ping Q off cooldown it can say how many charges it has so my teammates know when I have my heal maxed out

thanks

While we're at it, can we ping the CD/charges on Relic Shield?

Big Lincoln4 votes

good idea

I think it should just ping all charges, either on abilities or items

And buffs/debuffs

Veigar and Nasus stacks pls

I CD is probably the only important thing. Charges can easily be seen.

This is actually already a thing. If you ping item 3302 or item 3097 it will show the charges. For item 2303 it will of course show ward charges and item 3401 will show remaining CD

It doesn't show the gold share CDs though, which is more important in the laning phase. I want to tell my ADC "Hey don't go ham and kill that siege minion because my relic shield is almost ready and I want gold" with a single ping, instead of having to type that out.

I didn't realize Taric had a Q. I always press it at 3 charges and nothing happens.

As a Taric main, it still does nothing.

I'll be honest, Never tried Ardent on him. But I know for certain that Visage is decently effective. I don't main him, and he isn't even my favorite support, so I could be wrong, but it's worked for me...

The problem is WHEN you get it and your very limited gold pool. I wouldn't count on Taric getting any changes anytime soon. He feels pretty forgotten. I played him almost exclusively and I've asked Riot repeatedly for any insight on him. I got one response that they tried mana returns on Bravado against champions and didn't like it.

Other than that, Rioters don't seem to respond to questions concerning his balance.

Hell, if the leak is correct, Ezreal will get a Star Guardian skin before Taric. THE Star Guardian.

Taric top tho

While your at it, I want to ping I have 4 charges of Kassadin R so I can tell them I'm ready to rumble.

Big Lincoln5 votes

good idea

maybe all abilities with stacks then, kog R, cait traps etc

I thought the title said "Taric Q LOL" and I was "Yeah man, I agree, such a pointless, negligible heal".

Big Lincoln6 votes

I want the old heal back

I would much rather have a good heal for two people than a shit heal for 5

TheySeeMeWardin1 votes

It's not that bad. He has other forms of protection now so his heal has to be compensated for that. Also his passive takes it right off cool down so you can get multiple heals off. It's not the same but it's definitely not shit. It shows more skill expression to keep someone alive than say a Soraka.

MysterQ1 votes

I wonder does his heal get any better if you stack %Heal items like Ardent, Redemption that you wouldn't really want.

50000000000000001 votes

I mean, Redemption is still a good item overall.

SH Azykan1 votes

redemption is basically the only way to get his heal to matter

Meritas2 votes

They could test allowing both Qs to stack.

I like this thought. Maybe they could find some sort of middle ground somehow?

Here's an idea:

  1. Buff the heal, by making it scale a little bit more with ability power, but also a little bit based on either armor or MR. Making it scale off armor kind of sticks with the traditional/old-school armor-heavy Taric. Making it scale a teeny bit based on MR will have a "healing Taric" obviously go for item 3065 . Personally, I think I like having it scale on MR better - it makes for very specific build path choices, because usually a Taric might opt for Armor instead.
  2. Keep the current mechanics of casting the spell the same - 3 charges, proximity to get the heal, etc.
  3. Make it so the spellcast itself pushes out the most healing per person if it heals exactly 2 people (designed for laning phase). If it heals only 1 person (Taric by himself), the heal doesn't do quite as much, maybe 15% less. If it heals 3 people, maybe also 15% less, same as if it were Taric only. If the heal hits 4 people, 25% less healing per person, and if it hits all 5 team-mates, 35% less healing per person.

The "lore" behind point #3 is that Taric likes being admired, but what he likes best is when he's having some 1 on 1 time with an admirer. You know, so they can spend some quality time together, and his buddy can get a closer look at his gemstones, etc. ;)

I would rather it go to

taric heals himself and an ally

the heal is stronger if that ally is bonded with W

ShiftyMcGee1 votes

I like this!

Shoot, they could even just modify the way it currently is, if they like the "practically non-existent heal" feel of Q. Just add in that anyone bonded with W and in range of the heal gets an "existent heal".

Fondling Gems1 votes

Alternatively just a self heal that also heals whomever he is bonded too. It raises his skill floor a bit because it puts more emphasis on whom you bind with. Having to choose between who is gonna be the best for stunning, shielding the full health squishy, or healing the low health guy. (Or in reality just always binding to the guy who helps you cover your team with your ult.)

Big Lincoln1 votes

that's a good idea, too. would help make maxing Q/W second a more important choice, between if you'd rather have a stronger % shield for your tank or juggernaut, or if you want the stronger heal for your squishier teammates

statelesskiller2 votes

do this for gangplank E as well plz

Fondling Gems2 votes

Can pinging item 3056 not say 0 charges? Because I am pretty sure it still does that lol. Gotta love that items without charges are pinging charges while items/abilities with charges still don't.

Skias2 votes

Taric needs kit level changes and shift power out of his ult so that he can actually compete with the crazy damage 1-6.

Jon Talbain2 votes

This & showing what champions you've got for Bounty Hunter are so needed

FantasySniper2 votes

As a Taric semi-main, I don't understand why everyone's complaining about his heal all of a sudden.

It's designed to be the cheapest and fastest ability that procs your passive, and I think it does that fabulously.

"all of a sudden"

As incompetent Riot seems to be , this tiny feature would take 2 patches worth of time to implement

Because they'd have to test it in PBE first.

U should've known by now that PBE is only for skin advertising and changes. How many times Shits bugged on PBE for patches and the bugs still went live. Azir

Also Heim turrets, even tho people can see the floating things around him its easier to read instead of playing I Spy with a teammate

They need to do this with item 3401 as well.
