lets talk about taric

i miss old taric i do not like this rework at all. Hence why i have not played him since they reworked him... the only thing he needed was a new ult, that was some sort of cc like knock up or knock back not this channel kayle ult nor his other spells being weaker then they were before and less useful. sure get rid of single target stun for a hopeful aoeish stun. I miss going top lane with him and smashing people now you cant do that anymore

Yes I tend to agree.

His heal got gutted so badly that it might as well not even be there anymore... his old heal could heal him for up to 500 HP, now it heals up to 200 HP if you're lucky.

Why are you bashing a rework if you have yet to even try out the new champ. The new Taric has tons more depth to his kit and is not just a simplistic drag to the rest of your teammates. He fills the support role really well with his shields, stuns, healing, and invulnerability. There's way more potential to his new and better kit than old Taric could ever imagine.

You can still go top lane with him. His passive does more damage than you think and sets up ganks very well.

At least play the champ before making any claims about how old Taric was better.

i did 1 time and was like umm no way. you cant go top lane you do considerably less damage you cant 1v1 anyone. old kit was way better minus his ult.... all he needed was a diff ult then he had. cc ult would be way better not this channel to not take damage amnd hoepfully you can channel it before you die which ive never ever seen it work.

?????

So there is problem with Taric actually taking skill now??? There is a problem with Taric actually being a decent pick??

lol

1 time simply is not enough to get used to a new kit and different playstyle. Like I said there is a lot more depth to his kit. You can stun multiple with his new e which is way better than being the point-n-click stun he used to have. He can give both the front line and back line invulnerability. And don't complain about a channeled ult. The delays are what gives Taric this ability to have such a decent kit. It's your fault if miss a stun. It's your fault if you mistime your ult. The heal is not great but it give your entire team a nice save with his new w. Not to mention this kit actually makes sense thematically and lore-wise and I personally love it.

skill isn the issues seeing you gave your whole team armor ...... now you cant and so what your ult still takes liek 3 secs to cast thats a long time for you to live in a fight.... most times you just get deleted before it goes off or it cancels if you get stunned.... so having a grantee stun vs not having one is bad how.....yes healing for way way less is definitely super awesome btw....,

That's why you gotta time your ult better.

khorney1 votes

3 sec channel cast is a long time ...... how would you feel if mf ashe varus needed that same time to cast there ultimate or if Kayle or trynd needed that same amount to cast there ultimate

Ralanr1 votes

3 secs to potentially make your entire team unkillable.

I like new taric a lot more. Old taric was far too linear and boring. New taric has me stunning 4 enemies and getting our rengar a quad with my ult in a 2v4.

khorney1 votes

he wasnt boring nor linear.... being able to 1v1 fed yi or yas was to funny. more armor more damage for you. now you cant do that nore can you go top lane.

Marshbouy1 votes

you are kidding right? his whole kit was either stun someone or heal someone. That was his whole playstyle.

I can't say anything about taric top because i never played it.

khorney1 votes

you would bully most champs out of lane becuase you can self heal for a huge amount and they would do nothign to you becuase of your w... now what you have a stun you can miss .... or damage reduction that isnt constant but wait you have a ult that may or may not work.....

Marshbouy1 votes

because missing an ability is so terrible.

may or may not work? its called planning.

khorney1 votes

its called before you couldnt miss now you have to hopefully hit. guarantee vs not guarantee

Marshbouy2 votes

uh, learn to aim? id rather have an AOE stun than a single target one. Also, got anything to say about planning ults?

khorney1 votes

never seen his ult work once so i dont get this planning ults you speak of and i never said his ult befoer was good .... it wasnt its the only thing that needed to be changed becuase it was useless as hell it did nothign for your team... ohh wait gave them 35 ad and ap at lvl 16 big whoop

Marshbouy1 votes

are you agreeing or disagreeing that his ult or better?

khorney1 votes

is it better sure anythign was better then his old ult how ever having a ult that was doing the same damage with a knock up or knock back would be way more useful. thats all he ever needed was a different ult not his whole kit being changed... le tme ask you this can you 1v1 fed trynd yas or yi .,,,,, the answer is no... could i do it before with ease yes i could

Marshbouy1 votes

hes not a 1v1 champion. He was a team based support.

khorney1 votes

yes seeing i can 1v1 most top laners.... to not doing it now is so so awesome

Marshbouy1 votes

you are either a child or a troll. his DESIGN is not a 1v1 champion.

please learn english "to not going it now is so so awesome" is literally gibberish.

khorney1 votes

How is me pointing out the fact you could 1v1 before and had better peels means he was trash .

Marshbouy1 votes

I never said he was trash. I said that he was boring and linear. I also said he was not a 1v1 champion. He was designed to be a team support that worked with team buffs. He just happened to become a good 1v1 champ because of his armor.

Weaker? Sure, he does less damage now, but the utility is amazing.

khorney1 votes

yes debuffing enemy armor is useless how may i ask.... healing for more and jsut relying on the cd is useless how. sure add damage from his old w to his e that wont always hit is useful how

GaleWinUnleashed1 votes

The issue with his old W and R was not that they were weak (they most certainly were not), but that it was difficult to judge just how much power they brought to a fight. Stat buffs are really hard to feel good about, so his abilities were changed to be much more tangible and obvious.

old w was way better gave armor to whole team not just 1 person and his ult was useless it did okay damage and okay is pushing it, its just so taric ulted and gave a meager 35 ap and ad to team that is in radius .... so what ... that was only at lvl 16....

I remember fighting old Taric in top. I was Sion.

It was such a grind fest that it went from frustrating, to boring, to frustrating again.

khorney1 votes

becuase you couldnt do anythign but get bullied by taric and pray your jungle camps you... to much damage off e basic w basic

Ralanr1 votes

Actually it was because neither of us made headway in lane. He couldn't hurt me enough to give lasting damage to worry about, and he healed back more than I hurt him.

It was literally two grindstones grinding against each other.
