Supporting

Gaara9·Jun 24, 2015·1 votes·415 views

Ok, so I'm kinda new to the game, but I know most of the basics. I'm playing a Taric support, but I'm focusing on maxing my AP and my Auras. I'm doing this so I can be a good healer late game. Let's say we just start out a game and we take a lane.

Miss Fortune wants me to tank when 2 enemy champions are attacking. I have no armor, I'm a healer and we just started the game, so I have basically no gear. I go in and tank and guess what...I die. I expected this to happen. If I had stayed back and healed, I could have saved her by heals and my defensive aura.

Miss Fortune or any champion wants me to do a lot of damage to the enemy champions. Again, I'm a healer with auras, I'm not an ADC that is bread for damage.

Is my thinking wrong on this or am I getting ADC's that just don't like or want a healer? If they don't like me that much, I'll go give someone else health and auras.

taric has a heal yeah.. but hes kind of a "fuck it lets do it" champ.. You usually want to max W or E first unless you guys are just getting slaughtered then Q is acceptable to put more than 1 point in. You should be building taric full tank, seeing as he excels with armor. Your fulll build should look something like this item 3401 item 3047 item 2045 item 3110 item 3190 Last item being either item 3075 or item 3143

I know many play him as a tank and I accept that he's probably a great tank. I have played many other games and what I know how to do well is heal and buff. Is there no room for a healer in LOL?

Taric is supposed to be a tank/healer, tank first. If you build only ap items on taric you are not taking advantage of his whole kit.

Taric heal also heals more with a % amount of HP he has and his defense aura's also becomes stronger with more defense items he has on as well.

His whole kit thrives on being beefy.

Their is room for healer's in League its just not something Taric is great for... not that its bad, their are just better picks. Try Soraka Sona or even Alistar if u wana stay tanky.
