Players going Taric mid should be permabanned without question, or Taric should be disabled

until Riot fucking fixes the funneling issue. You know for a fact the only people running this are people trying to boost their way with a borderline guaranteed win strategy (it has 65% winrates in Master tier and above, and 62% winrates in Diamond+ with over 5000 games).

So if boosting is against the rules, and virtually the only people using this strategy are duos boosting each other (because no solo players are doing this, they have to actually coordinate), then this strategy should just flat out be an auto-ban.

It's no longer just a "low tier easy stomp" strategy, it's now become a dominant strategy with Taric being mid over a fifth of the games he's played in, and that number has been fucking rising. It's time to stop sitting around jerking it and actually fix this fucking issue because it's one of the most toxic strategies with legitimately zero counterplay, and it's basically going to lead to Taric being permabanned every single possible game from now until oblivion anyway.

People playing together is not boosting and is not against the rules.

just because something is good in higher elos doesn't mean it is good in lower elos

not to mention there is the separate problem of execution most low elo players wouldn't be able to make the same kind of plays or know what to do all the time

there is no reason is permaban someone for playing a champion in an off-meta position (if we did half of league would be guilty of that) nor is there a reason to disable a champion unless there is a massive bug with interactions/abilities not working the way they are intended

Unfortunately Riot has listened to the communities request to endorse "off meta" and "innovative strategies" so funneling is not going anywhere.

This post is a prime example of why the boards are getting shut down.
