cool riot way to nerf taric... i love the pbe nerfs every thing your doing is 100% a nerf ....so what your e does more damage... who the fck cares it also stuns less and has a longer cd...... q cost more mana and heals less now cool riot more nerfs to someone who didnt need nerfs ......
Requiemsfire6 votesThe duration doesn't matter because I never maxed E to begin with until much much later in the game. If anything it's an extra 0.25 seconds of stun for the first half of the game. So ye, his E changes actually don't matter that much.
His Q and mana changes on the other hand now that's something.
Base Mana Regen Per 5 increased from 5 to 8.5.
That's actually really good for Taric in the early game.
The changes that really matter though
Starlight's Touch (Q) number & effect changes and number of charges have changed: Mana cost changed from 60/80/100/120/140 to 70/80/90/100/110 Cooldown now 3 seconds (recharge time unchanged) Max Charges changed from 3 to 1/2/3/4/5 based on ability rank. Base Heal Per Charge changed from [20/30/40/50/60] to [30]. HP scaling on heal changed from [1.5% bonus health] to [1% maximum health]. Bravado-empowered attacks changed from [reduce recharge time by X seconds] to [Bravado-empowered attacks grant 1 charge of Starlight's Touch]
In my opinion this is actually really good for Taric and is overall a buff. The E change is irrelevant.
KoKoboto1 votesE does more damage and stuns longer and has a short CD. Q heals more and costs less mana. W now has base shield value along with the %health value. Passive reduces his cooldowns by 2 seconds now instead of 1. His ultimate duration got increased to 3 seconds and only takes 1s to apply.
meowwow71 voteswait they are changing him next patch? he's already pretty strong in the right hands 0_0
KoKoboto1 votesHe's not strong he is an ult bot.

khorney1 voteshe is a ult bot and the way i play him is as such ult and spam the item actives. this still really wont do much becuase he is still lacking a engage of any kind which is why you alway s
KoKoboto1 votesIf you play him as an ult bot all the changes don't matter to you because you only play him for the ultimate. What's the point of your post?
The Fuzzy 0ne2 votesI'm not sure he understands what the changes to Taric actually mean because he can't look at the big picture and see that the changes are actually good... No one could really get through to him last Taric post either lol
Big Lincoln1 voteshas nothing to do with his strengths
KoKoboto1 votesIf his ult is on cooldown he is weak.
I'm just BSing with this person tho cause they're ignoring so much that they're really not worth time on.
meowwow71 votestbh from my experience with playing taric if you w someone with a gap closer you can make a great follow up
khorney1 votesThat's the whole point no one gets taric has no gap closer .
Big Lincoln1 votesGod forbid he have a downtime
plenty of 'ult bots' have been strong before

Shatter the Sun1 votesI play him jungle... These changes are fine tbh
AlienPrimate1 votesI don't really think this update will change him that much except make him a better jungler for those who dabble in bringing him to the woods. The Q heal is weaker if you don't have charges but it can get more charges faster, costs slightly less mana late game, and has better scaling late game because it was changed to scale off 1% max hp rather than 1.5% bonus hp. At max stacks, that is 5% max hp when before it was 4.5% bonus hp. While the "gain a charge with each hit of bravado" part sounds kind of broken on paper, he will still have the problem of running out of mana in about 10 seconds if he spams it.
The mana changes are a huge buff. Currently his mana scales up to 22 from 5. The update is up to 22.1 from 8.5. The early mana sustain really helps his currently weak early game.
I'm kind of indifferent towards his stun changes. The cooldown change doesn't really do much for him late game so I think the 17 second cooldown early for 13 second cooldown late is a slight nerf. The damage increase makes his top lane and jungle play stronger while the cooldown change makes his late game support play a little weaker. Overall, the E changes probably won't really affect my play on him because I use his E very reservedly early game due to him being pretty much worthless when it is on cooldown until he can get in there and proc his passive when he gets a little tankiness.
I like the changes, but I am honestly scared that Taric will become meta. He is currently the least played support there is with about 1.5% pick rate. As such, I have yet to run into a problem of him being banned or picked by the enemy before I get the chance to take him.
khorney1 votesHe is least played because he is neither a enchanter ie janna raka lulu nor a tank ie ali Leona. So what do you play him as ? I use windskerpers due to it really only thing that syncs with him, the old bond of stone worked but the new one is to dependent on him and tbh it's better on junglers. I rarely run out of mana due to the items I use
AlienPrimate1 votesI play him as Taric.
