Taric moments

Hi, I'm me. I don't always play league of legends, but when I do, I play taric. I know that taric is getting a rework soon, and I wanted to add my 2 cents on what made him fun for me.

1. His versatility in lane. --Taric is a Gem Knight of many talents, sporting defensive buffs, offensive buffs, sustain, and even engage/disengage on his e. This means that I can play Taric with largely any adc and expect to be able to match their style.

2. Sustain --Taric is very hard to push out of lane, and so is his lane partner. the combination of his armor aura, his heal, the relic shield line, and his innate cdr mechanics means that I don't have to back nearly as often as my partner

3. Shutdown Stuns --If is had a dollar for every time a master yi/tryn/etc. would get fed, try to come after me/my carry, then get stunned and die, I'd have enough to buy all of Taric's skins. He's almost a hard counter to many melee carries who suddenly lose all of their defense (read: mobility and lifesteal) when they can't move or attack. The Armor aura doesn't hurt either.

4. Bizzare midgame burst --Once you get a few ranks in your skills and start building up your armor, you do suprisingly good damage with e->aa->w-or-r->aa->q->aa and most people don't expect it. It's even better in teamfights because you just gave x thousand gold in free stats to everybody. Additionally, his e can a target still long enough for longer-delay ccs to come out.

5. Chill --Taric is a calming influence, not just on you, but your whole team. his ability to set up plays, heal allies, and his outrageously chill voice acting all add to this.

Basically TL;DR I love Taric and here's why.
