Let's talk about kits and VU's

I'm sure everyone has seen the two Taric VU suggestions posted on deviant art at this point if not I've posted a link and I hope some other players can suggest something good too.

On to kit suggestions for me though.

Passive (the same)

Q ( the same)

W

Taric has been an aura champion for some time and its clear that Riot is looking to reduce aura power or hidden power in the game. But I have a solution for this dilemma for Taric. He can give 500 extra health when near an ally in armor stats, so why not just give him a regenerating aura tower shield that scales with his armor. He gets a nice buff for everyone and his power is not so hidden and easily broken down once he enters a team fight, I imagine it can have a 8 second cooldown.

E

He can have an aoe skill shot stun like anivia that shatters and "dazzles" his enemy's. Duration 1 second instead of .5

R

His ult Should be a penetration buff for the team for 15 seconds (more useful than weak additional damage) This is really the only thing I can't put my finger on, he used to have a swain buff ult, but now its just a burst of damage.

That is an awesome model. Too bad having a model in-game with 13k triangles is deadly to low-end processors. However, that armor lacks Taric's focus- LOTS of gems. They seem to not be the main focus.

Kit-wise, Taric just needs a kit beyond point-and-click heal, tap W for damage, keep W for armor, point-and-click stun, tap ult for stats. ANy changes I would do would be to his passive-something like this-

Taric's magical gems constantly grow, giving his abilities bonus effects. The gems grow at 5/second for a max of 100. Taric's abilities do not NEED crystals to be used, but the amount of crystals he has buffs his abilities on use, consuming them.

The crystals could even replace his mana, but his non-crystal abilities would have to be hella weak so he isn't spamming even mediocre manaless heals and stuns. His ult could increase his crystal regen in addition to its current function, allowing him to use more empowered abilities.

Those would be my only changes to his kit. The empowered abilities would require rescource management, and a good Taric who uses his abilities would always beat a Taric who spams skills willy-nilly. For example, 100 gems could increase stun range/duration, so that a gem-savvy knight could initiate from farther away. An empowered heal could heal more (if cast on an ally) or become slightly AoE, but less powerful (cast on Taric himself). His W could even continue giving allies armor if he had sufficient gems, as he would only break, say, 60 gems per ability. A cool new rescource to fit a neat playstyle.

This is the other suggestion done by an artist that might give more character to Taric's face, maybe there should be a community vote for which art direction Riot should take, because I've seen both of these posted before, we should really make it clear what the community would like to see, unless Riot can marry these two designs together. I would love to see Riot do something better than what fans are capable of making.

As for the last commenter maybe an ammo passive that empowers Taric's abilitys and he gets more ammo the more allies around him?

I thought about that ammo passive a bit more. What if the more allies Taric has in his vicinity the more armor and magic resistance he gets and consequently his ammo regenerates faster, like crystal growing off his armor that he can throw at you.

Passive, every 100 armor or mr taric receives his cool downs are reduced by 1 second. He gets a larger model and gets bulkier as this happens, his cd passive caps at 10 seconds. (he has long cd even now so its not a big deal its just late game he can spam the stun.)

Or for ammo alone, Taric generates more crystal every 5 seconds equal to 1 for every 100 armor. At 3 stacks he can stun players in an aoe for 3 seconds.
