Taric rework idea

I know there was an older thread from I think @IronStylus but I can't seem to find it, my google-fu is weak this morning.

I got to thinking about Taric and thought this would be a neat idea for a skillshot: Taric chooses a point in an area around him then slams his crystal hammer on the ground, causing a crystal to burst forth from the ground in the direction he chooses. If an enemy champion is hit, the champion is knocked back in the direction he was hit (so if hit from the west he'd be knocked east), and dealt damage/slowed/whatever; if a teammate is hit it just moves the teammate the same distance. Taric could pick an out of position enemy or shoot his carry out of harms way and potentially take the blow himself. I think this could take the place of his current stun. Edit: Mechanically it would act like Viktor's laser, probably with a larger AOE around him

I think shatter could work somewhat like starcall but be an armor shred and potential slow, no heal, more damage.
