The epic sequel to : http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/8y4EUVey-lulu-is-the-greatest-champion-in-league-of-legends

Seems like people really enjoyed my first post, so I'm here to piss a little wisdom on another support. Am I going to write only about supports?

Fuck you. You're not my mom and I'll write about what I want -- and it's sleeper OP champions. Turns out the first two I wrote about happen to be supports.

Let's talk about every Minecrafter's wet dream, Taric. What can that has been do in the League of Legends when we have champions like Thresh and Leona and Braum to tank instead?

Kind of a lot, but that's what I'm here for. To make you spend some more IP/RP on a champion you never thought you'd give a shit about.

Let's talk about Taric

The Kit

Passive: Gemcraft Taric's armor is literally made from gems and decided he isn't a bitch that starts with no items so they gave him a built in sheen. Taric's armor is literally money. Not only that but it scales off of your armor. The harder you are, the more the enemy will feel it. Good choice riot.

Q: Imbue A single or dual target heal. Ezreal's tickling your butthole with his autos and Qs? Thankfully you're not a bitch, so you'll take it like a man and then brush it off as if it never happened. Enemy Leona jumped on your Jinx like some thirsty cougar-lesbian? Tell her to get the fuck over it. That's what I like to see this spell as. 'Get the fuck over it' -- Eventually the enemy will realize that trading hits with you is pointless when you're both harder than Lunatic+ in Fire Emblem: Awakening.

W: Shatter The harder you are, the harder everyone around you becomes. Consequently, flex your abs to weaken your enemies' resolves. Hidden Passive: Break the 4th wall and make everyone grow extra chest hair like true men.

E: Dazzle Wink at your enemies to make their heart stop for a second. The wink travels slowly -- but no matter what, your feelings WILL reach them. The less it takes, the more it hits them for. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, bitch, and Taric REALLY missed you.

R: Radiance Slam the R key with your face for a bonus 10% to the stats you give your allies. You give everyone in a radius around you a buttload of AD and AP which meshes well with the rest of your kit. The enemy team can try to trade with you, but when you're all too hype to die, and stronger than ever before -- what are they going to do? Stop you? Clearly not. They can desperately try though.

What's that you say? You're not good at tanky close range supports? Neither am I! Thankfully, Taric is useful just for existing. That's right! You can literally go afk and grab a drink in the middle of lane, and probably get an assist because they tried to focus your beefy butthole, and the carry took advantage of it. Pop a Q on yourself and say 'I'm over it' because that fight is over, and so is the fucks you give over the damage you took.

What about items? Open up the shop, and go to the armor section. Buy things there. You want to be hard, and need to be hard. The enemy team can't ignore your girth when you're THAT hard. 5 frozen fists work just fine because Taric isn't bound by the laws of human biology, and it's always better to have more fists to punch people with.

Get out there, run into the enemy team, and roll your face all over your fucking keyboard because you're a man with zero fear. No fear of dying, no fear of getting hit, and the tenacity and toughness of a mythic raid boss on crack. Show them just how truly outrageous gems are when you're cheesegrating their faces off with them.

i swap RIghteous Glory for a thornmail or omen.

That's a possible variance. I like Righteous Glory for it's active though, helps Taric with his engage.

Some punk just locked in Braum and took your role away? Fine make like Taric and to the truly outrageous! Go top and show Riven the Dazzle, and prove once and for all who the manliest man in the game is. Sorry Braum... wait no i'm not, real mean don't apologize!

Not even Mantheon wants to face Taric Top. We looked into the chat and found this... Darius Pantheon please gank, Tarics gems are simply to much for me. Pantheon Are you crazy? Not even Syndra has enough balls to gank Taric!

He skips Diamond and goes straight for Opal.

Also, don't actually face roll, you need to AA in between spells to unlock the full glory of your epic, majestic gems.

As a Taric main who is 7-2 with Taric this season so far, I approve of this outrageous message.

E: Dazzle Wink at your enemies to make their heart stop for a second. The wink travels slowly -- but no matter what, your feelings WILL reach them. The longer it takes, the more it hits them for. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, bitch.

Taric ain't no pansy, foo'. He's gonna get up in your grill, and you're going to like it. This bad boy hits harder the closer they are. Standing chest to chest with the enemy? That wink just got even stronger.

Just cause he winks at you doesn't mean he's some pansy. This is how he closes in on you. In the 1.2 seconds your heart is stopped.

Winking ain't for pansies, yo. Winking from afar is. (Taric's E does more damage the closer the enemy is.)

Thanks. For the longest I remember it being the other way around. Corrected now though.

I love those point blank Taric stuns that deal a crap ton of damage and leave your opponent thinking "I thought he built tank?"

corbear0074 votes

Been playing him since s4 he is sleeper op especially top taric stupidly insane

Rock Rockburgh2 votes

The problem with top Taric is that he'll flounder against someone like a Wukong. The stun is nice, sure, but he hasn't got enough damage to get a kill even with jungler backup unless the jungler is already ahead.

junglerboy163 votes

Taric +item 3025 says otherwise. If you actually use his passive after every spell cast, you proc Gauntlet every time it's up and keep all your spells refreshed, which means more heals, more armor shred, more stuns, and more damage. He plays almost like Riven in terms of AA weaving for huge DPS.

Sorry, but I find your post amusing since I have NEVER won a ranked game with a Taric on my team. The first 15 minutes he feeds like an all you can eat buffet, so you never reach the point of the game where he can be useful. That is my experience.

Sorry, but I find your post amusing since I have NEVER lost a ranked game with Taric. The first 15 minutes he's like the manliest shit you've ever seen. He'll eat you alive then spit you out, then his ADC will shit on you as well. That is my experience.

Sorry, but I find your comment amusing since I MAIN Taric. The first 15 minutes he shanks everyone with his gems like steak with A1 sauce from Riven's period. He'll slice you up and watch you glisten on his truly outrageous gems. That is my experience.

P.S. I actually play Taric Top a lot. What have I done with my life :0

Taric is really good since he can actually punish the ridiculously dive-y all-AD bruiser and assassin comps that are so common in Solo Queue nowadays. Not to mention with enough CDR your stun CD comes up insanely quick if you have someone to auto.

This guide is completely outrageous.

Truly, truly, truly... outrageous~.

What was that?! It's Taric, he's getting into my brain!

Opal for harmony~.

Oh god help me! My opinion of Ezreal is getting better by the moment!

You are nothing more than assglass, waiting to be smashed~.
