so one amazing thing i learned about Taric is that hsi Autos are enhanced with how much armour you have after using an ability. It's an "on hit" effect which is weird for him. It's still a great game to showcase how Niche Taric can be an di love him~
the taric who's only damage item was a sheen, outdamaged everyone on his team. ur teammates shouldve gotten a thornmail, it'd increase their damage output
An inevitable day approaches, whereupon Zwag shall be forced to relinquish his preferred strategies and succumb to the dictates of this ignoramus. Alas, we are then destined to witness him struggle through an otiose configuration, one that evokes the whimsy of a randomized selection process.
I discovered years ago, shortly after the Taric rework to his current state that he is, in-fact Darius' hardest counter in early lane. Also, you didn't do my build, although you did mention it, so at least there's that. The thing about going ER/Flicker which, you go ER first, then tanky, you get Flicker last or once you don't need to be tankier to survive. Anyway, next time try it out for realsies. Plus you even said: "I am playing a top lane tank, you know how it goes when I don't play the damage dealer." Well...you had the opportunity to be the damage dealer and you chose tank. That said, you were correct that it's a split pushing/dueling build and your mid got hardcore smurfed on, so this was indeed a bad game for it.
I remember the times before Taric is reworked. I used to play him on top lane, build full armor and 1v4 1v5 the enemy team if they were full AD. It was most fun only second to playing AP Tristana (before she is reworked too).
I ❤ me some Taric, one of my favorite champs. Weird as hell. Hard-ish to play in a team environment unless your teammates are familiar with how his abilities work. Easy to kite, but that's the tradeoff for being one of the best (if not the best) stand-and-tank 1v1 champs in the game. A few pointers: get 2 points in Q before one point in W, but then max your favored ability before putting more into Q. I don't put more than 4 in Q until late game because it is somewhat infrequent to actually use a 5-charge Q in the middle of a fight, and that extra point in E or W is usually more impactful. I usually build these same items, but almost always Merc Treads. He's just too easy to lock down. When we had mythic items, Gauntlet provided tenacity as well.
Day 420 of asking Zwag to play crit Rek'Sai Day 1 is on "JINX, BUT MY ROCKETS MULTIPLY AND DO TRIPLE AOE DAMAGE (IT LOOKS LIKE A GLITCH)" on TC channel
I could see taric with titanic and overlords bloodmail being an absolute chad. probably need something like stridebreaker also tho so you can stay in melee range
I know you had to go tank this game but seeing a Taric with Essence Reaver would be hilarious. Maybe a on-hit mana item would be good for extra mana padding plus the on-hit damage would be nice. In fact, I guess a full on-hit damage Taric would be fun to watch. Maybe BORK for first or second item. Possibly Phantom Dancer for movespeed so it's harder to be kited.
So glad you didn’t do navori and ER. Navori has had a bug forever where it breaks your heal and puts it on an even longer cooldown lol and with no on hit on ER you’d be doing a whole lot of no damage lol
If you wanted insane healing you need to try Helia. With how Taric’s healing and autos work he can put out 300HP heals to an ally. That with wits end and bloodsong and I’ve out damaged my mid and jgl lol
A max mana ryze build would look like this: tear>ROA>CDR/Defensive Boots>Seraphine's>Ludens/Blackfire>Rabadons>Blackfire/Ludens then you could sell boots for either MPen, if you need armour can go zhonyas or even F.Heart, or if you really just want mana+ap then you have malignance though he cant use the damage part of it (but if you have a team that is actually making good use of your ult, you could build it last I guess so you can have it up more often, another great, possibly the best boot replacement, especially for ryze is cosmic drive :)
23:57 That viago player stayed in fountain for almost 30 seconds while you were fighting in top lane. This guy needs to be banned from that character and Jg role.
Honestly I still think fimbulwinter would still be good on him, definitely should look at getting hullbreaker though, 5 AA's wont take long for taric haha

Hope you'll have a good day, keep doing your best, my hero!
Quick tip with taric. You put 2 points into q before maxing e so you get double the healing.
I learned that one from lightrocket2, great guy
You only put 2 points into Q then Max E and W
@@halvarianknight4477that's what he said
@@halvarianknight4477
@@halvarianknight4477 I max w the last tho
Darius was not expecting the Taric to stand there and smack him. 😂
Win or lose, watching you beat Darius senseless was worth it.
It's a bad day when a taric top is MVP lmao
so one amazing thing i learned about Taric is that hsi Autos are enhanced with how much armour you have after using an ability. It's an "on hit" effect which is weird for him. It's still a great game to showcase how Niche Taric can be an di love him~
This game contained more wet noodles than a bowl of spaghett.
Can't wait to try that and make sure their enemy top never starves.
Yo didnt expect to see you here. Love your music! I use it for DnD all the time!
@@niromanti5935 Ahaha thanks! I find my inspiration for war ambiences in the LoL chat.
“Darius must be pinging him” Zwag’s game knowledge is insane. The ability to recognize what everyone else is doing while playing makes me sick
those teammates were painful to watch
I just lost a game because of those teammates.. omg, it's so mental when my team is like inexperienced while enemies isn't
Darius was the perfect example with Zac of what we say in Mexico for the babysit "you can't do it without your girlfriend". Te quiero mucho Zwag.
Viego was getting demolished everywhere 😅
That first gank from Viego was the telling sign
So where the rest of his team 🤣
WOOOOOOOOAH YEAH BABY THAT'S WHAT I BEEN WAITING FOR
18:39 man's just booked it lmao
Ngl, the taric vids are my favorite
Id love to see Taric in Arena!
Not even having finished the video, just by seeing the comments, I can already tell that zwag has been afflicted with the "tank top laner curse"
And that's why tanks like Ornn, Tahm and Mundo exist. No teammates to do dmg? Do the dmg yourself.
Hwei really though a Seraph's would save him from a zed..? 💀 i really don't understand how people can't comprehend simple concepts like armor and HP
A Taric game in the year of our Lord 2024 😮😮
Didn't watch the video for a year or two. But now I just have a problem with sleep. Swags voice is the best medicine. Gg wp. Good night everybody
Second skin of the day: Classic Taric.
Yes !!! Love taric. Used to be my main. Was funny when he could be a really good busier also.
Everyday is a good day when Taric is on the Rift.
The order of the bejeweled mace lives on.
the taric who's only damage item was a sheen, outdamaged everyone on his team.
ur teammates shouldve gotten a thornmail, it'd increase their damage output
I'm going to use that line from now on: "buy thornmail, you'll do more damage that way" XDD
3:20 holy moly you beat his ASS dude
This is why Taric is a secret jungle pick and probably even more viable after 14.10.
Well thanks for trying. BTW wits is pretty good MR item on taric. The tenacity is real nice.
Day 70 of asking for full attack speed Zoe 😊
I know this is just opinion and therefore isn't worth a whole lot but this idea doesnt sound very interesting to me. It just seems so boring
An inevitable day approaches, whereupon Zwag shall be forced to relinquish his preferred strategies and succumb to the dictates of this ignoramus. Alas, we are then destined to witness him struggle through an otiose configuration, one that evokes the whimsy of a randomized selection process.
No digas mamadas mary Jane
I'm intrigued, what would the benefits of attack speed Zoe be? I'm asking out of interest.
@@GenerationLex none benefits, only read it about are boring xD

not really, trundle is, taric just works because darius players don't usually know how strong Taric's lvl 1-2 is and go for a cheese
I remember the times before Taric is reworked. I used to play him on top lane, build full armor and 1v4 1v5 the enemy team if they were full AD.
It was most fun only second to playing AP Tristana (before she is reworked too).

Finally a Taric vid! Thank youuu
Thanks for the great vid Zwag!
“Did Zwag Xerath get the first 6 CS?”
No, he missed 2 caster minions
Lose Streak: 4
day 523
of waiting for my dad to return
Day 420 of asking Zwag to play crit Rek'Sai
Day 1 is on "JINX, BUT MY ROCKETS MULTIPLY AND DO TRIPLE AOE DAMAGE (IT LOOKS LIKE A GLITCH)" on TC channel
420 deserves. If he still wont just give up
Super fun game to watch Zwag! We're here for you not wins or losses!
Interesting darius build xd well played swag
I haven’t seen Taric in so long that i forgot he existed
the taric main in me is happy
Great vid zwag, give me feel like playing taric too
I honestly want to see this again when your team isn't straight trash
I could see taric with titanic and overlords bloodmail being an absolute chad. probably need something like stridebreaker also tho so you can stay in melee range
I know you had to go tank this game but seeing a Taric with Essence Reaver would be hilarious. Maybe a on-hit mana item would be good for extra mana padding plus the on-hit damage would be nice.

"I turned Taric into a walking bot that can't reach the enemy team." 🐍🐍🐍
back when i was taric one trick i did play taric top and my first time doing it i was against a darius. His passive hidden damage and surprises many
*I bested the Mountain. Now it's your turn* Murd3r M.J: Huh ??
Zwag can you do some full crit/lethality Gangplank?
Don't really like taric games, but pressed the damn like button anyway
OH THANK YOU ZWAG. i really wanted to see you play my main champ tysm 💖💖💖💖
5:18 HERE’S ZACHARY
this build should be part of an LCS finals, if not already the case xD
So glad you didn’t do navori and ER. Navori has had a bug forever where it breaks your heal and puts it on an even longer cooldown lol and with no on hit on ER you’d be doing a whole lot of no damage lol
I forgot he was even a champion😅
best video made just because Darius got beaten up early game and got bullied by a Tarric
Darius got ran over in lane despite getting ganks and then talks smack at the end. Lmao.
This viego is the wild rift equivalent lmao
Not gonna lie. I forgot Taric existed. Haven't seen him in YEARS!
Whining zwag is best zwag
finally! a taric video
If you wanted insane healing you need to try Helia. With how Taric’s healing and autos work he can put out 300HP heals to an ally. That with wits end and bloodsong and I’ve out damaged my mid and jgl lol
Top lane experience in a nutshell
this Taric build was fun :D but as this video shows: if the champ needs a team, its not worth to dream
Taric is love; Taric is life
at least it was satisfying to see Taric bonk Darius
Finally used Taric.
I wanna see Urgot Jungler
Day 34 of asking for Lucian Double Tap Nuke, pew pew!! Could pair well Taric Support
8:20 you backstep and it gets you on the very edge of his range. That one step killed you.
If you like building mana, how about a maximum mana Ryze game? Blackfire torch + RoA + tear + as many other AP mana items as you can fit
A max mana ryze build would look like this: tear>ROA>CDR/Defensive Boots>Seraphine's>Ludens/Blackfire>Rabadons>Blackfire/Ludens then you could sell boots for either MPen, if you need armour can go zhonyas or even F.Heart, or if you really just want mana+ap then you have malignance though he cant use the damage part of it (but if you have a team that is actually making good use of your ult, you could build it last I guess so you can have it up more often, another great, possibly the best boot replacement, especially for ryze is cosmic drive :)
Truly, truly outrageous
I really want to try counting missed cannons and I think Zwag missed 2 cannons but I could be wrong
Taric is one of the champions that make me miss playing league
I was hoping you'd go for full atk spd Taric
If you add BoTRK into this specific build, then Taric becomes an absolute nuisance to the enemy team
23:57 That viago player stayed in fountain for almost 30 seconds while you were fighting in top lane. This guy needs to be banned from that character and Jg role.
That Zac skin is the win
Now we gotta see a bruiser Taric with triforce and manamune
Honestly I still think fimbulwinter would still be good on him, definitely should look at getting hullbreaker though, 5 AA's wont take long for taric haha
Yay! My boy!
i'm not a GM ou main
but when i play taric, i like to up Q, for more healing stacks and more beating.
18:34 yup you see that herald used your 1% gone😅
"We need more people to not play the game, so let's get rid of legend Tenacity in favor of legend haste so cc champs can spam abilities more" -Rito
Next time do crit taric with new « Essence Reaver »… Should be fun
It almost looks like you're playing Diablo 2 with Taric
BOZO of the day : Viego
Zwag, did you know that actually denying armor or magic resistance does bonus damage, not true damage?
LETS FUCKING GOOOOO TARIC IS MY BOYYY... But you kinda just get these games and taric doesn't have carry potential unless stars align
try next time with catalyst ( later upgrade into rode of course) into heartsteel +rift and other items situatiw tank
Day 40 of asking for full crit zed 😊
Please play some Vladimir. And I’ll dance at your wedding.
Bit late. He's already married lol
Zed is the most ridiculous champion to ever exist, Zed need longer cooldowns in my opinion.
You can use w in someone and they cast every spell you cast too
That darius was painful to watch
Yo do Heartsteel illaoi with overlords, iceborn, sundered sky etc.
My boy taric yessss

why not try rod of age on Taric?
As you've been making videos of unpopular champions lately, how about a Milio video next?
Make an Ashe video with wildarrows
Rip the win. Taric was fun to watch though.
Darius is a scary match up, that one is just bad. 😂
i will give out my secret taric build now since you cannot do it anymore.
divine sunderer and lethal tempo
unkillable
divine sunderer? that item doesn't exist anymore bro
Here before kyle
I can't stand when you get a team full of people that are scared to attempt to do anything..
