Never spamming anything? Well that's just our different playstyles then. In my opinion, that is just not playing Taric to the fullest potential.

The description you gave to Taric, 'designed to primarily keep his adc Alive' is not what I think of him.

To me, Taric is a brawler with supportive abilities on the sides. His Bravado mechanic just screams that at me. Attack twice after using an ability, lowering the cool down of other abilities.

I personally never had mana issues as support Taric, perhaps you maxing Q was just a bad idea.

Maxing W over Q is so much better.

You're essentially giving your adc a cloth armor that will upgrade to a Chainvest. For free. This makes it easier to brawl with other adcs, as resistances are valued over health stacking.

It's cheap and more efficient to Max W over Q as shielding them for 12% Max health is already better than a 4% heal. 3 times the amount there, for the cost of 60 mana over 100.

You had mana issues, right? Try W instead. Taric is not a main healer, just a guy with potent heals, but if you wanted a main healer anyway, why not pick Soraka instead? She does the job better, with cheaper mana costs too.

You said Q 'just costs 110 mana' but I have proven to you, it takes 1/7 of your mana at Level 9.

It gives you problems right? And you say that getting Iceborn Gauntlet, an item that costs 2700 gold, fixes these issues?

The difference between Q and W, 110 and 60. W is cheaper by a whole 50 mana, would that solve your mana issues?

And why pick Iceborn when Zeke's Convergence is 300 gold cheaper, gives mana, cdr, damage and a slow just like Iceborn?

Zeke's is also gonna cost just 2200 in the next patch, making it 500 gold cheaper.

So not only can you get Zeke's faster, but you can also save 500 gold for something else.

Oh, you talked about damage right? How about 180 from E? And Zeke which increases the damage output of your adc by 50% and provides a more powerful slow than Iceborn?

You also talked about how Bravado can keep cooldowns lowered, but you need to cast abilities to use it, and being able to use E 4 seconds faster in a teamfight is gonna make a big difference. Not only that, but it's 280 damage to whoever you hit in an area. Much more damage than just a 100.

So my preferred choice, really,  is E>W>Q.
