A Comprehensive Taric Rework(Bring The Gem Knight Back)
As one of my first mains
, I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Taric. Although it seems he's been all but forgotten(except the fan base). So was league's wikia site and saw
multiple attempts at a rework and thought, "Why not Taric?" Quickly I had some funny or cool ways to keep his identity as a healing tank with a bit of cc but also make him no so bland. I'm not great on the number aspects so be kind(add your suggestions if you want). I just want Taric to be playable again.
First of "No Longer Uses Mana" Everything just has CD like
and the countless others.
Passive- Imbued Taric Embeds a gem in an ally. Taric binds to target ally. Target Ally heals for 5-10% of all damage dealt by Taric.
NOTE
This would work a lot like
Passive with a set range
Q- Refracted CD- 20/19/18/17/15 Taric raised his shield and reflects all damage for a single spell back at the caster. Must be facing spell. Does not effect cc, or spells from other directions.
NOTE This "DOES NOT" cancel, stop or impede any long- range, aoe, or multi-target ablities. Only the damage dealt to taric gets reflected. Any DoT only the first tick would be reflected. This is not a spell shield or cc parry.
W- Shatter CD- 10 This is what support Taric is known for, that added armor buff/shred. The buff would remain, but only for the Imbued, and is lost while on cd. The shred would remain unchanged.
E- Dazzle CD- 14/13/12/11/10 Throw a gem in a straigt line that explodes on impact in a small radius. Skill shot 3/4 the range it has now. First target hit is slowed by 90% for 1 sec. All targets in the radial splash take reduced damage and are slowed by 25% for .25 secs
R-Radiance CD- 75 Taric shatters his hammer buffing his imbued while lowering his own ad. All damage dealt from this is the same only in a diamond shape instead of a circle <-> Something like an 50% or more swap of ad.
NOTE Other Idea was to have the diamond shape and the "Imbued" would get an ad buff for all enemy champs hit within the aoe. 2% ad buff for every enemy hit. Let me know which you'd think is better.
Was looking at the trivia for Taric as I was finishing this.This still could reference "gem socketing" as you're socketing and ally now. :)
Would love to know what you think and What you like or don't. Can't wait to see The Gem Knight back out on the rift. And remember Gem are truly outrageous.
