      @@tokofukawap4055 hey! if you'd like to learn more we have a small community of dedicated onetricks at r/taricmains (myself included) who would love to help teach Taric to others, there are very specific things that are satisfying about his kit that make him fun and it has a lot to do with his dueling, his playing making with R and hitting long range stuns off allies.

      I used to go for Frozen heart instead, but the item feels really weak now. Taric was a niche pick last season, as he was only playable into dive comps and hard engage lanes: nautilus support and/or Samira/Tristana adc.
      Now with no good mana+tank hybrid items, you effectively have no sustain in poke lanes where you might as well let your adc sololane.
      Ive personally stopped playing Taric altogether, where last season I would often pick him support and occassionally jungle if I was duo with my midlaner, since he has insane synergy with melee carries.

    I remember playing a bunch of Taric when I first started out. I thought he was cool, because I loved that tanky healer aesthetic, and didn't have the experience necessary to realize just how badly I was getting stuffed by my weakness to range. Eventually, I found out when I tried other supports and stopped playing him, but I always kept him in my pocket just in case.
    Then one day a miracle happened: My co-laner picked Nilah. I knew from experience trying her myself that she benefited massively from enchanters who could heal and shield, and Taric could not only do both, but also assist her when she dashed in with Dazzle. I gleefully rubbed my hands together and locked in Taric. Today, two champions worthy of legend would take the game by storm.
    Two champions did indeed take the game by storm. The enemy laners. I don't even remember what they were playing. The Nilah must have been new to the champion, and used to playing safe, because not ONCE did she go in on the enemy. I was stuck trying to heal her with a slow cooldown heal that I couldn't safely reset due to being poked off the wave. I spent half the game wishing I'd picked Soraka and the other half trying to mentally project to Nilah to please god just go in so we can get something accomplished.
    From that day forward, I never play support if the ADC is going to be the random. I can't handle it.

    i would change his Q. Make it a point and click healing that is increased based on taric's proximity to allies (instead of the charges stored, similar to world of warcraft paladin's mastery). Have his passive reduce cooldown by half for each auto (2 auto=full cooldown reset). With the limitation of requiring auto on enemies while making it stronger when nearby allies, you can lower the mana cost, since there are already conditions.
    If you are fighting with an ally bruiser, you can deal damage while healing him at max power.
    if you are peeling for your adc, you heal the adc extra when he position wrong (close to the enemy mele), or less if he is doing a good job kiting

    Dont forget that he also got buffed and then heavely nerfed in a relatively short time after he was released. After that, people started to play him as an actual solo laner with decent succes, I still remember the time you could actually carry games with him as a full tank. Then he got that mini rework on his kit making it the funnel champ that he is today. As always Rito on all of its 200 years of game design and its moto "We encourage diverse gameplay for champions... unless its not the way we want it to be."

    I actually really enjoyed playing old Taric back in the days were i still used to play mainly support. Like holy shit with his Auras his teamfighting was insane, even if it perhaps never quite looked like Taric did much. I guess another reason why a rework was kinda necessary.
    Getting in the middle of teamfight, ulting too buff your team and shredding the enemy Resistance with your w while it gave resistance to survive the first burst of the enemy first was something my teamates probably never really took note of but as the taric player you could easily tell the impact once you see a fight without you in it.

    Most of tarics issues can be circumvented by playing him jungle. His clear with bravado is almost as fast as as meta farming junglers, natural mana regeneration in jungle really helps early, and ganking is actually pretty easy with him. I trully feel like he is more of a jungler than a support

  • @henhenyu8440
    @henhenyu8440 3 года назад +3

    I love taric and main him, but the new season hasn’t been very nice to my boy. The armor of knights vow is removed making me less tanky when rushing that item,ziki doesn’t slow enemy’s around you when you cast your ult, and the support mythic doesn’t suit taric’s play style. That leave me rushing ardent censer and be a shield/heal bot every game, then why would I play taric if lulu, Jenna, soraka and nami can do my job hundred times better?

  • @cymantics8249
    @cymantics8249 3 года назад +2

    As a pretty confident Taric player, I find that rushing a tear and building Shurelia's Battlesong pretty much take cares of my mana issues. His early game is definitely different than the majority of supports, and can be super punishing if you don't manage his resources correctly. His power spike isn't until level 4, and in most lane matchups you have to play him reactively rather than proactively/aggressively, but god is he rewarding as hell to play once you find the rhythm.

  • @theherald4132
    @theherald4132 3 года назад +2

    The biggest issue I always had when picking Taric in the new season is this; why am I picking a champion that excels most 30 minutes, when the game is over at 22-25 minutes. It's this painful first 15 that makes him abysmal to pick early, because you can't lane against a Karma, Janna, or Lulu, mixed with, if you have the space to pick your support late, why not pick to counter the enemy team comp more reliably, with say a Maokai, Rell or Galio support, or a Leona Nautilus, Alistar

    I absolutely love Taric, I play him on toplane and I'm having a blast every time. I just love the fact that he's a support with a fighter passive, which makes him really versatile and fun to experiment with. And yes, he is quite team dependent, but the fact that you can combine his abilities with others champions can always create interesting and unexpected combos and strategies.

  • @mentlegen6326
    @mentlegen6326 3 года назад +10

    I feel like the problem of the high mana costs is the biggest one. You can only use a few q's before running out of mana, making him useless for the rest of the fight. And the heals aren't that strong either so it's better to use other enchanters with stronger long term healing / shielding
    Also the whole combination between a support and a tank is really problematic because tanks usually don't have a lot of mana and can't spam their abilities while enchanters often relies on spamming their abilities in teamfights so it's create this really awfull position where you shine spamming your abilites but can't because of your low mana pool
    Love your videos btw

    • @jesusmauriciosanmigueljaim2972
      @jesusmauriciosanmigueljaim2972 2 года назад

      i love the combination of tank and enchanter but the high problem its mana, if taric could spam the q more than 2 times he will be decent sup, cause when i get a suficient mana (win the line and i can buy mana) he become so powerfull more when are a tank in the suport lane cause he cant kill the adc. and its fun but there no runes or objet that fix the bigest problem in him

    @austinpoor5217 11 месяцев назад +2

    Personally I disagree. Tarek does not rely on his team to work with him, he makes them work with him. Your tank takes a batting gauge. Throw your shield on him. Throw your stun on him now It was bait. Your ADC gets caught out, same routine. You want the team to push with your ultimate, pop. Your ultimate hit your son and leave the charge yourself and they'll pick up on what's happening. I'm sure there's a dead zone at the mid levels of play, but in my experience, tarek needs a team less than any other champion because he can turn dumb disorganized play into teamwork at a moment's notice.

  • @Deathf1ame
    @Deathf1ame 3 года назад +1

    I used to play him a lot last season but I can 100% agree this season's items really screwed him over. Locket is one of the best items for him to keep your team alive long enough for your ult to go down but to build it the dreadful mana issue is worse than ever, with most mana items locked into the mage class. That said, he is still so fun to play because his passive and Q baits so many people in, then they wonder why people aren't dying xD Level 2 all-ins aren't bad (stun to engage, spammable Q and passive for heals and surprising damage) but you get punished REAL hard if you miss the stun and they have a ranged support, leading to some miserable laning phases. Ultimately he really is as good as the team, which is the biggest downside. Not coordinating all-ins leads to nonstop pinging on your ult after some guys dash in 2v5 and get out of range of bastion and they wonder why you didn't flash-protobelt-galeforce your way to them

  • @WildHawk41
    @WildHawk41 3 года назад

    Im glad someones talking about my main. Tarics mana regen is pretty descent so you cant fight all the time but you aren't always oom. Also Prescence of Mind and Glacial Shroud are great on him. Pick up Glacial early and sit on it. His passive damage is good. and he destroys divers and assassins even without his ult. the delay on his E can actually work in your favor for hard engages, if you see the engage coming you can cast it so it still goes off even when you are CC'd. Just dont use his E for Engage, only for Peel. I love this champ because he prevents the flashy champions from getting their snowball kills.

  • @melvinmalonga4068
    @melvinmalonga4068 2 года назад +1

    Another is his E. It's really cool that you can cast from Taric and his link but it's done in the most absurd way :
    The angle at which the E is sent from Taric is defined by the direction you are aiming with your mouse. On the linked champion the angle relative to the character model is conserved, so it aims in a completely different direction.
    Basic examples (because my description isn't super clear) : if you both face the same direction, both dazzle go in the same direction. If you face opposite direction then dazzle will go in opposite direction.
    This means that if I want to use dazzle from my link to protect him from a jungler gank (because he didn'z fall back and I'm already closer to tower, or because they target adc first) : 1. I must not aim at the jungler directly, 2. I must not aim in the direction from my adc to ennemy (imagine I'm adc, where do I aim ?) 3. I must instead look at the direction my adc is running, determine the direction of jungler relative to their run, look at the direction I'm running, determine that same direction relative to my run, aim and release e.
    Worse yet imagine a bursty champion that moves around a whole lot like an irelia, a samira or something. They run into a fight, they could use dazzle. How to predict what orientation they'll have when they spinning around like a maniac ?
    It's very convoluted and stupid, the only other aspect I can think of where the orientation of a character matters is shaco's passive, but at least there's only one orientation to control and it's for bonus damage not for the whole move to work at all.
    Two better alternatives :
    - Same world direction : Instead of the game replicating the angle relative to Taric's orientation onto the link, the game simply copies the game direction. This would therefore imply that both dazzly always face in the same direction and are parallel. So in that scenario, the jungler is on the left of my adc, let me aim to the left.
    - Same world target : When you aim at a spot with any linear move, the game deduces the direction from you towards the coordinate you are pointing at, the target. Have it be that the target is the same for both shots. So my shot is from me towards the target and my links shot is from them towards the target. So in that scenario : I want to hit the jungler, let me put my mouse on the jungler. A problem with that is that it would make it impossible to use dazzle for your link to hit someone that isn't on your screen and require large mouse movements just to aim, so not a fan but still possible.
    I get that it's cool when two opposite direction shots land in a crazy unforeseen way but either something really cool happens out of dumb luck or the e becomes unusable unless by taric directly.
    This is compounded by the fact that Taric's passive is instrumental in reducing cool down and making his set work. While using dazzle through your link you don't have the opportunity to use bravado, but it's worth it if you can land a useful shot for your link. But it's impossible to correctly aim the shot coming from your link. So almost never worth it

    Rod of Ages used to fix all of his problems in one spot before season 11.
    Even as a support it was an excellent first or second pick. Tanking gave mana, that mana supplied your kit, including heals, meaning more hp can be lost for mana.

  • @HorizonSilver
    @HorizonSilver 3 года назад

    It took me a little bit but I got used to the new Taric and he's one of my main supports. He requires careful resource management and timing, but when you pull of a successful ultimate that saves your team while the enemy team falters and dies it's worth it. Recently found that when timed right, his ult can nullify Neeko's ultimate which can get bonkers if she's fed. Stopping all that damage was so gratifying.

  • @ApolloYves
    @ApolloYves 3 года назад

    There is this item in Wild Rift, and each time i look at it, i think it's just perfect for Taric, even tho creating a must have items for champions to make them viable is not a good practice. Anyway, it's called Fimbulwinter, it's a tank Tear item, which gives 10 Ability Haste, 350 Health and 1200 Mana. It's Awe effect grants 1% of max Mana as Ability Haste and refunds 15% of mana spent. It's other effect, Frozen Colossus, grants you a shield (150+5% of current mana per nearby enemy champion, 15s cooldown) when you immobilize a target (can only be triggerend when you have nore that 20% of Mana). It's not upgraded version is Winter Approach, it has same Awe effect. Charges gained when you use mana, with basic attacks on-hit and when you take damage from enemy champions, turrets and epic monsters. I think item is so great to complement Taric and his needs in a game. Maybe Taric mains can ask Riot to add this item to main game, ofc it's probably need some balancing to be on level with Manamune and Seraph's Embrace

  • @Toches
    @Toches 3 года назад +1

    I think there's one MAJOR point missed here, and it's really important to taric as a whole as well, especially when playing from behind.
    Choke points:
    If the enemy team is on Baron / Dragon, it's REALLY easy for taric to punish it, as they either have to counter-engage, or try to peel out, and give away a free dragon/baron. They can't counter-engage if you have ulti starting in the seconds that you walk up, so they get catch 22'd, and normally lose the teamfight, and the dragon/baron, even when your team plays from behind.
    He's the comeback king imo, single ultimates often take losing games and turn them around, it's not uncommon for my games to start on the backfoot and turn around once we start contesting objectives and getting into actual teamfights.
    He's just underplayed, people aren't aware of HOW MUCH he can actually heal in a pinch.
    In lane, his mana is indeed a major issue, but if you just make him a hard engager, it kind of goes away. You fight to the death, burn all your mana, and then it refills when you back after they're both dead. His low level all-in potential is ridiculous.

  • @Haxl
    @Haxl Год назад

    I've been a taric main since before the rework. Personally, I like playing him solo que because you can turn teamate misplays into good fights/engages.
    Yes he's squishy unless your adc gets really ahead, but he also has great distance on his stun (if used on a teammate, especially with a dash). I think the noevlty value is relevent as well, he's never banned and most people never play against him. This means if you're a main, you get consistent picks for a one-trick and people are slightly caught off-guard by what he can do in the right hands.
    He has decent sustain early with Q, and can dish out decent damage in all ins. One negative is that depending on the match up, flash is almost critical to engage in bot. But as long as you turn that into double-kills, it's a worthy use imo. If you view your ult as a good diving tool early game, and a follow up engage late game as opposed to a last ditch "save me", that works better as well.
    I can see why people don't play him, infact I like it that way because I he goes unoticed in bans and early game, which works great for me. It's also worth mentioning that when he's recently been buffed, and counters most of the top tier supports at the moment.

    I mained taric like for 1 month my vision on taric is : It has a very good early game if you can manage mana well . It is a sustain champ but it is very good in early trades with his passive . In midgame taric just shines with a fed teammember or splutting with a not fed teammember . Ussually i prefer doing tf in mid game ( if your team not inted hard ) even tough like 1 to 2 k lead that enemy have. you can win fight with proper ult. In late only thing that you can do is giftin your team a good ult and protect adc as backline enchanter. Since everyone is full build you better stay back and let an other tank handle the frontline . You can 1 vs 1 almost frraking every champ btw i am not kiding sibce you have mana you can even 1 vs 1 a yasuo mid game if you play good. Dont try to 1 vs 1 ranged champs they will just kite u . You can 1 vs 1 mlee champs gl

  • @Calebblue101

    Honestly to play Support Taric good, you need to get level 2 first, shield enchanter ability poke to out mana manage them, make sure you have enough mana to get 2 Q spams at least in early game because Bravado does great dmg actually, and have the wave pushed for second back because you'll want to buy Mobis and start finding places to roam if drag isnt a minute or less up. You can surprise the enemy jgler with the tight timing and still make it back to pit after winning the roam which you almost will if your teammates cooperates and isnt an ape.

    • @Calebblue101
      @Calebblue101 3 года назад

      Lastly, I just want to note that most of these complaints stem from the fact primarily that he is bad because he is team reliant only is a bad excuse for the learning curve. He has a different winning plan for lane and team fight and in general is different than other supports. You can out manage other supports to survive or win laning to the point you can start roaming and making your opponent fear your presence. There is so much pressure you can exert from playing correctly that will win you easy games, but you have to be willing to learn it rather than ask for number changes or reworks. He's a fine support with his weaknesses because they're made up with his incredible strengths
