Hi, I like Taric's abilities except for him being melee.. with that said, is there a ranged support with similar abiities as Taric? someone that may not be as tanky as him but has heal AND cc but ranged.. a killshot skill would be good too (like an ult or something)...? would Janna or Sona fit this description? sorry for beeing a nub..

Bard is free atm. Try him out before buying him. Most of the community will tell you he is weak, but Riot has a habit of buffing and nerfing champions every couple of weeks. Cross your fingers and hope he's on the receiving end of some buffs. Maybe by the time you actually "master" Bard he'll be a strong pick.
godofnubz1 votesyes I noticed Bard being free.. will be playing him.. thank you again for the advice..
AnArousedCactus1 votesSona has the aura effect. Nami has more CC though.
Ih8ucuzurtoxic1 votesNami kinda fits.
Do not bard. He's... just terrible T_T
godofnubz1 votesyeah.. bard is free atm and I have been playing him constantly.. and i am finding his play style difficult to do.. lol.. specially those collecting chimes thingy while trying to support someone... can't wait to try Nami before I decide which to buy... thanks for the advice..
Blue Collar Bear1 votesMy first thought was Nami, to be honest.
Alistar is an interesting choice. I know you're looking for someone ranged, but he does have a targetted gap closer that I think would make you interested. His heal is also AOE, and it's a good pushing tool if you max it first. However, it's not as strong as Taric's or Sona's healing capability.
There are not a lot of champions with aura effects that give free stats like Taric. The only one coming to mind is Sona, and she also has a heal that you are looking for. Her harass and trading ability in lane are great, but she has by far some of the lowest base stats in the game. She is easy to bully.
Are you looking for a self heal or a targetted heal for your adc? If you're looking for a self heal, Maokai, Gragas, and Fiddlesticks are all uncommon, unorthodox supports that have worked in the past for me. You can always buy a Relic Shield to help sustain your adc, too! Fiddlesticks would fit your description easily if you are looking for a self heal, since he is ranged, has hard cc, and a self heal. Maokai and Gragas both have good cc and self heals as well, but they are melee.
The last two that I can think of are Kayle and Nidalee. They're both very uncommon supports, as well. However, they are both situational ranged/melee champions that have targetted heals, great harass, and good all ins. If I have to say which one supports more of a support role, I would say Kayle. He can make your adc invincible for a few seconds. I would say picking up Kayle is probably the better idea. She is great in every lane and with every role. Having a champion that you can fall back on like that is a great idea!
EDIT:
You can also sustain your adc through flat out blocking the damage and applying damage reduction. The best champions that I believe for doing this are Maokai, Braum, and Janna. Good luck!
