An 80k CP Taric Main on Him Being Reworked

(Oops I lied I'm 79.5 k)

First of all, yes, I am a one of very few Taric mains, and as much as I love to joke about it, this post is mostly joke free, and the things I'm saying are 100% serious. I did actually start playing him as a joke, but then I fell in love with his kit and playstyle. While I play him in ranked as Support during favorable matches, in Normal's I'll sometimes build him AP in the Jungle for some fun and surprisingly OUTRAGEOUS gameplay. Anyways, here are my thoughts on Taric and what should be done with him.

Taric's definitely a simple champion, and he helped ease me into LoL, but even now he is one of my favorites. I was absolutely ecstatic when I saw Riot employees responding to a few different users that the Gem Knight did have a rework scheduled for him, and seemingly coming out within a year. I only have one issue with the announcement. It's going to be Sion level. Taric's kit isn't stupid broken (shattered?), nor do I think it's severely under powered. I'm a fan of pretty much all of his abilities, but he does lack something that makes most players pick any other champion in the game besides him. He's like the Juggernauts in regards to them having a kit that simple buffs would make them OP and nerfs would make them unplayable. Here is a list of things I'm looking forward to in the rework, and the things I hope stay mostly the same.

Passive -Gemcraft I like it when I'm playing him in the Jungle, and always have something to hit to chain abilities, but it still isn't most useful passive in the Jungle or as a Support, especially since I know his cooldowns for his abilities must be higher than they should be because of it. I think it needs to be changed to something that benefits the rest of his gimmick of passively providing support, instead of requiring you to keep up with the enemy team and be constantly whacking enemies to be of use. Q -Imbue: Mostly stays the same. Maybe a better buff when healing himself. Possibly a new passive you can give allies when imbuing them. W-Shatter: Scale with either armor or magic resistance depending on which is higher. Scaling on both would be OP as hell. We currently have no champs who are based around MR except . E-Dazzle: Mostly stay the same. I don't even have suggestions on anything to do with it. R-Radiance: Total change! This is the only thing I am fine with anything Riot does to it. Either totally change it or find someway to buff it to make it better but still balanced. Visuals & Voice: This is the main reason nobody will let me play Taric. It's no wonder changing this is taking up the bulk of Riot's time. Roles: His kit isn't the best for Jungle (his W is pretty much useless the way I play him), so in some way I hope he gets some things reworked to make him better at jungling, as well as better roaming as a support.

I don't expect actually playing a part in the rework through this post. I know from one post I read that his gameplay side was 90% complete a few months back and it's probably being balanced and having kinks worked out now, but hopefully this will get the attention of a Riot employee or someone else who can confirm some things for me. I worry that too much about Taric will change if he is getting a rework on the level of Sion, and while the competitive scene might drift towards him, that I'll start to drift away. If you think I'm wrong in some way or have suggestions of your own then fell free to comment. Hope you enjoyed the read!
