Taric + so many other champions still suck

So even months to almost a year now, Taric is still champion that isn't meta viable. I dont see him in LCS at all. After his rework he just seemed to be even more garbage with the lowest damage output in the game and his healing is terrible, and he is one of the only champions who scales backwards when he gets stats (Passive downwards scale with CDR) . Q is absolute trash, no team +ad +ap, no armor pen, just.. garbage, LordOrick is one of people that plays Taric the most, and he stopped after the rework because he is just terrible now. Yet a champ like Alistar gets a 3rd stun with a newish mastery that gives a huge shield on stun, that works on 3/4 of his abilities. And he is already a top meta pick in LCS, yet Taric, after rework has become a complete joke of a champ, they removed his armor and turned him into a blatant prancing homosexual that no one plays. It was way cooler when you had to guess his sexuality, now its just blatant, sure you can make the case that his ulti is better then before, but in a moba where dmg is all that matters, then his ulit isnt no where near as strong when compared to huge team wide damage+ output.

Cmon riot, patch after patch I see changes to champions that are in LCS, mostly they are buffes, rarely they are nerfs, but what about the champs that dont get played anymore? Are they just shelfed? designed to be there but never played in competitive?

If there is one thing to take away from this post is this....

BUFF CHAMPIONS THAT ARE NOT IN THE LCS META, AND NERF CHAMPIONS THAT ARE IN THE LCS

Maybe you will be able to finally have a game where every champion is viable.

Till then.. GG riot

Yes I am Raged, Yes I quit LoL, and Riot knows that there total population of 64 million active players has decreased and they wont announce their total pop now because League is in a state of decline. Sure its still the most played game, but people are raging off and quiting.

You wanna know why? Because champions do not have equal representation on the devlopment team.

I myself am skilled in C and C++ I could make a great a devloper, I could ensure that league truly sees a balanced game and that all champions are viable, but I dont need to be on the dev todo this. All I need is for Riot to wake up and see that you guys are internally biased towards the yii annie gnar darius rumble ect players because you propably play those champs the most...

Why you really need todo is go to sites like http://www.metasrc.com and buff what needs to buffed and nerf what needs to be nerfed.

That's because you don't know how to play him. Your rant on it is completely false. Just forcing reasons to say Taric is a bad champion because he's a bad support, which isn't true either. Take it from me or not: I play Taric, both prework and rework. I currently play him as a DPS Tank these days. The bot lane meta, both in general and professionally, does not favor him right now but is still able to be a viable pick strongly dependent on the team compositions. Khorney is right though: that ult is a game changer when executed properly. And that's where part of the problem lies unless you use it selfishly.

The rest of what you say is just not worth me wasting my point in speaking. You say that there's no Taric in the LCS. Take note the pro season hasn't even started yet! And there have been a couple of Taric picks going up to the World Championships.

My second and third champs are Taric and Alistar. I play both Support and Jungle.

Let me tell you, that both are great, but different. Taric is not a Tank anymore, he is a Controller/Fighter and he needs to be played that way.

Sure his heal is somewhat weak, but not negligible, however his stun and ult can completely turn a fight around if you have decend undertsanding in utilizing them through the delay.

If you are saying that Taric has no damage, you simply have no clue how to build/play.

taric's rework is dog shit for a lot of reasons (being a fruit included) but he's actually super OP

support players are just baffled by a champion that has a skill floor, they're allergic to anything coming hard to them so they avoid him like the plague.
