Taric's Ulti

2.5 second delay for 2.5 sec duration, it actually is REALLY bad for an ult, he cannot make clutch saves like a kayle or a kindred can, but it makes early engages to fights honestly very strong as you can't be stopped, all they can do is run away. but past that it is lack luster (no pun intended) honestly.

Doesn't his ulti seem way op? A Kayle ulti for the whole team?!

Casting time looks pretty monstrous for it though, and the duration is really short. A lot of assassins should be able to wombo-combo someone before Taric can react: placing a lot of emphasis on skill for Taric himself regarding foresight.

Kayle is also the definition of a jack-of-all-trades, being better than Kayle at something isn't game-breaking considering 'master of none' should also describe such a champion.

As for being OP: there are plenty of skills in LoL that are unavoidable if the timing is right. True damage, invulnerability, untargetability, knockups, pulls, knocbacks, homing skills, projectile-blocking walls...the list goes on and on. It's not like Taric is bringing some BS to the game nobody's had to deal with. Every champion is a little BS in their own special way.

Indeed... even in the preview, with ideal positioning, a completely immobile ideal situation, to save his allies even from a skill with as much of a delay as Lux's ult, he has to start casting over a second before she starts her wind up. The ONLY thing the ult is going to do is tell anyone competent "Don't blow your cooldowns here for like 2 seconds." It's like Zhonya's... ridiculously easy to just time it to hit them as soon as the zhonya's expires.

The massive delay really does balance it. Very easy to bait out.
