My suggestion on Rework Taric's R.
Hello all, after the reveal of Taric's skills, i must say i'm very eager to try him out, he's mostly faithful to his theme and old skillset aswell, however what leaves me rather disapointed is his ult, which i don't find interesting at all, yes it is strong, but i don't feel the conection to his theme or skill set at all, and lately champions have been getting these skills which make u unable to die in some way, kalista ULT, kindred ult, tahm kench's devourer and to be honest it's rather frustrating to deal with abilities that keep saving your enemy in "godlike ways" when you least expect it, so i thought how i'd like to see his ult, the skill has diferent effects so ill put in order to make it beter readable:
R - Crystal realm: -You spawn, under Taric, a circular crystal field which keeps expanding for 1,5 seconds. The field cannot move and stays 10 seconds on the ground from the moment Taric casts it.
-If Enemy touches the field, Enemy will be snared for 0,75sec, the effect can only be applied once for same enemy. -If Enemy is inside the field, Enemy will loose 10 AD, 10 AP, 10 SPEED. If enemy leave field this stat reduction effect will not be applied, but will re-apply if they re-enter. -for every Enemy inside the field, the stats will be transfered to Taric and Allies inside the field which will be** equaly shared**. (example if there's 5 Enemies inside the field, and 2 Allies, these 2 Allies will get each 25 AD, 25AP, 25 SPEED. if 5V5 inside the field, all alies gain each 10 AD,10AP,10 SPEED.)
-Crystal Realm (R) works with Bastion's (W) link so a field will be spawned under the Ally you linked with. -If you link with an Ally, while you both are inside the field, any Enemy stat's that are stolen that go to taric will be redirected to the linked ally. (example if there's 5 enemies inside field , Taric and 1 Ally( under effect of W), this Ally will get 50 AD,50AP,50 SPEED, and taric will get no benefits for the link's duration.)
-After the 10 seconds of the field pass, the field is shattered automatically, which will damage any enemy who is standing on it at the time. You can re-cast the ability sooner which is renamed to "Shatter", but only after 1,5seconds from the moment u cast Crystal Realm.
I believe the skill is unique, there are other "stationary" fields such as zyra's ult, trundle's W. But i believe Crystal realm goes with Taric's theme and syncs well with his W and E, while remaining unique and paying homage to his previous ult (giving stat to ally) and W (shatter for dmg). You can choose to use the ult in 2 ways, by giving stats to ur ADC with W, or by using W on engager, which will allow Taric to position his ult right inside enemy team or behind them so u can "sandwich" them by overlaping the fields. Since stats are stolen they don't need to be big to make a diference, and along with the snare, it works as a zoning or peeling tool. The small duration snare allows easier use of Dazzle for both peeling or engaging. Haven't really pondered on the size of it, if trundle's W size is enough or needs to be bigger, either way i wanted to share another possibility for taric's ult while remainingg solid to his character overall.
edit: something i forgot to point out, since the fields snares on touch for enemy, you can use it as an anti-dash ability.
