Terics ult no longer heals allies, lol wtf totally fucking useless skill.

New tank item looks interesting though.

Whenever you cast anivia's stun all the creep on the map get stunned and heroes.

PvP chat client does not work

cant see friends list.

fuck you bird

Tarics ult is still very useful for team fights, even moreso since the mana cost is reduced.

I don't think you know how taric plays, the heal was not THAT great unless you had farmed up AP.

an uber slow self heal as an ultimate is retarded bad, no matter how cheap.
his ult was never used for the damage aspect (since it was minimal [and didnt it even get buffed after they removed the heal, lmao?]) unless you were greedy and played dmg taric.

DAMAGE INCREASE OF 40, 60, 80% IS RETARDED BAD INDEED

PS THATS AN AOE, SO IT STILL HELPS EVERYONE AROUND YOU IT JUST DOESN'T HEAL ANYONE NOW.

WhoaItalkincapssoitmakesittrue.

Radiance - Taric emits a brilliant light, healing himself and increasing physical damage for surrounding allied units.
Toggle: Taric emits brilliant light, healing himself for 30/40/50 (+0.2) a second and increasing his and nearby allies' attack damage by 30/60/90 (half effect for nearby allied champions, meaning 15/30/45). The cost to sustain Radiance increases by 4/7/10 each second.

Its not a percentage and its base damage only. Meaning its not going to help a single caster on your team unless theyre auto attacking.

If tarics ult gave a flat damage boost across the board of 80%, even 40%, it would be OP as FUCK.

WHOOPS I GRABBED IT FROM AN OLD SITE SORRY, THAT IS WHAT IT WAS UPON RELEASE

STILL A GOOD SKILL

SORRY I WORK IN CAD/EXCEL FILES AND I DON'T WANT TO HIT CAPS LOCK WHEN I ALT TAB TO WRITE A RESPONSE, LICK MY DINGLEBERRIES


STILL A GOOD ULT, NOT RETARDED BAD, JUST NOT OP ANYMORE.

OH MY BAD

CONSIDER THIS SCENARIO

YOU GOT LEVEL 11

YOU ARE 5 MAN PUSHING A TOWER

TRIST, TF, TARIC, ALISTAR, MORGANNA

ALISTAR IS KEEPING THE OTHER TEAM AWAY FROM US, HES NOT ATTACKING THE TOWER

TRIST (1.5 ATTACK SPEED), TF (1.5 ATTACK SPEED), TARIC (1.0 ATTACK SPEED), MORG (0.7 ATTACK SPEED)

30X1.5=45
30X1.5=45
60
30X0.7=21
_________
171 EXTRA DPS IS RETARDED BAD

171 DPS IN A TEAM FIGHT MIGHT BE THE DIFFERENCE

171 AGAINST A TOWER GETS IT DOWN A LOT QUICKER

PROVE TO ME WHY THIS IS RETARDED BAD

Its bad because this game is about burst and not DPS. Also your example is bad since in reality the diffence is meager, without tarics ultimate that tower would still die, just a quarter of a second later?

I made thread about this on the LULZ forums too, and generally got the same reply you gave me, that its still a "useful" skill. I guess I just fail massively at conveying my point.

I just feel the mana reduction is nowhere near equal compensation for taking the away the ability to simultaneously heal 5 heros.

Also got alot of "fuck support go dps taric" replies.

I play DPS taric, but its more of a hybrid build that allows for high healing values from my heal spell. I honestly feel like I understand your point, but you aren't understanding the importance of that damage in a team fight. That increases burst damage out of heroes, that is + damage, it adds to the heroes attack damage, which can be added to crit damage I believe.

But to be honest, his ult was a problem having it heal, his heal spell is quite enough without the ult healing everyone as well. Especially now that his healing spell got buffed.

He'll still be one of my favorites.

Well with rally nerf and this, team fights should last half as long, so thats a plus.


i want to plaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy dammit

one more thing, wheres my fucking blink item.

same

Are you trolling him Ian? I can't really find fault in what house is saying.

My thermal paste got delivered this morning. When I get home I can apply it and maybe the League will work and I can play.

Most realistically I'll crash 15 minutes into the game and every time I reconnect I'll crash within 2 minutes. But... I'll try and stay optomistic.

fixed it.
