Of course, Yasuo, Teemo(In a meme way), Zed, Lee, and Ekko mains are usually hated. Comment with the champion you would have the most respect for if a player were to main them? Also state your reasoning.

Everyone always likes Janna on their team. Low skill floor, but very high skill ceiling. Leaves a lot of room for improvement. Is one of the supports who I feel can truly carry a team fight while being a traditional support. Protects her ADC and gives them damage. Also, hard counters a lot of the hard-engage champs that are popular now. Janna has been strong every single season

What this guy said. No matter who you play, someone is going to hate on you for playing it. Just find someone you both enjoy to play and who clicks with you, learn them as best as you can, and then learn the game from there. People will respect you for doing awesome things on your champ, not because you decided to play a given champ.
With that said, I hate Shaco ;) (I've YET to meet a Shaco that wasn't a jerk, to put it nicely).
Snowball4u1 votesIf you played ekko back when iceborn + sunfire was viable on every champ or if you spammed garen, darius, skarner, and mord when the juggernauts were reworked, there is no respect for that.
In ranked sure I understand you want your freelo, but You would go into blind pick and usually see at least 2 people from each team playing one of those champs
Dynikus1 votesI played ekko when iceborn + sunfire was the meta. Do you know why? it was fun. Y'know, that thing you're supposed to experience when playing video games?
Spicy Rice1 votesYes, but it's the difference between having fun with people, and having fun at the cost of people that makes all the difference.
Maximum Morde2 votesThe champion they choose is part of how they act. If you choose a blatantly op champion, that states you care more about winning than the spirit of competition. So yeah, I'm going to lose respect for that person because it doesn't fit MY view on how the game should be played. Others are free to disagree.
It's like the guy who no longer gets invited to matches between friends in FPS games because all he does is set up camp with a sniper rifle. That may be fun to him, but it isn't fun to others so they just don't play with him anymore.

Spoofghoul1 votesyes yorick is pretty good just not overpowered broken
though his ghouls/maiden could get a small buff to their defense like 15% of yoricks armor/mr would be nice just to make them more resilient
Unstoppable Monk1 votesThat would break him TBH. He really doesn't need buffs, just QoL on Maiden when needing to go back into jungle.

Gimmicky? It literally shuts down all ins. His Bravado passive is far stronger than his old passive. Bastion is also stronger. It gives a percentage of the champions max health as a shield every 4 seconds. If you have another beefy front liner next to you, he's incredibly threatening.
The reputation for him being weaker is incredibly misguided. But then, I've played hundreds of games as both pre and post rework. He's far more versatile now.
LordGeovanni1 votesYes Gimmicky
Taric's passive: now takes two auto attacks at a fixed auto attack speed to do what 1 auto attack could do before both in damage and reduceing cooldown.
Taric's q: Became aoe but lost over 50% of its previous power when fully stacked power and is 3 times its previous cooldown just to use it at its max power. Before you could have actually healed people when you needed it now the heal is only a way to get your other spells off cooldown.
Taric's w: What previously could give several characters around you % of your armor now can only give one character nearly the same with out a significant increase in the numbers but only if you cast a spell and as soon as you cast it on another person its gone. For that 1 spell aoe influence and armor shred was sacrificed for a small shield unless its on a straight hp tank only 3 of those in the game.
Taric's E: Became aoe and able to fire from multiple angles. On top of becoming Taric's only damaging ability it lost damage at the same time with a delay that is easy as hell to dodge and super telegraphed on the most important part of his kit teams never clump up enough to warant the ripping appart of the damage on the spell and if they did that should be their punishement
as that is the main part of his kit and his damage.
Taric's R: is a big aoe invunribility after a while spell. Its an indicator to your enemy to hang back for a few seconds and if your enemy cant do that you were already winning the game anyway this ultimate isnt even usefull when behind unless you are running from a fed enemy and need to by time for yourself to run it cant save a carry cause it takes too long to activate and all your other defensive spells are poor. Before it used to deal damage when activated and gave your team aoe ap and ad boost
Taric has his stun and thats pretty much the only part of his kit that resembles the old taric and isnt complete shit compared to his old kit they weakened the damage on his e could have a least put the armor shred from his previous w on it. If they are gonna put such weak and irrelivant spells on him they might as well have not tried to preserve parts of his old kit and put what ever they wanted to put on him so he isnt just some weak tank thats reliant on a gimmick ult and team to hold his hand

Yeah, who would want 20% of Tarics Armor AND 12% of their max health as a shield every 2.5 seconds.
LordGeovanni1 votesThe Armor share is stronger on 1 person bot doesnt make up for how it used to aura everyone on your team. the spell itself is on a longer cooldown than the previous version and and his passive is weaker than its previous version ultimately his combo takes longer for every spell cast in it unless you arent useing his passive which you absolutely need for all of his spells to even work a bit haveing to sheild a mage or adc to deter damage from them while depriveing the tank of what was a previously aoe passive with an admitedly short range

I guess you're just playing him standing back not autoing. If you are casting and autoing his w comes up ridiculously fast. Maybe its the fact that I play him like a fighter and not a healbot, but I don't experience anything like what you are describing and I'm mastery 7 with Taric. I've played hundreds of games as old and new Taric, his new kit is simply better. His ultimate can single handedly win games if you have enough champ knowledge to time an enemy all in. To each his own, but I can fight people as new Taric that I never had a chance of fighting as old Taric. He used to be so predictable and binary. Walk forward? The enemy knows what you are going to do. Launch a weak stun and try to burst. Burst gone? Back to standing and waiting.
New Taric can smack minions and champs to really start pumping out spells. 40% CDR with Bravado and his spells never stop. I'm sorry you're struggling with him, I do think he's much weaker bot than jungle or top, but that's mainly because every support item that isn't locket sucks ass on him. AP is a waste, regent isn't as good as raw mana, because he needs a large reserve to pump out spells fast. %increase to his heals and shields is generally weak because the base values aren't high. He's better off with Juggernaut and Mana items like Randuins, Sunfire, Iceborn and Manamune. You can disagree, but I can pretty much promise I play him far more in more positions.
LordGeovanni1 votesdoesnt matter how fast a shit sheild comes up it still a shit sheild and the rest of his spells are all shit to compensate for a gimicky ultimate

LordGeovanni1 votescould say the same to you
Skias2 votescould say the same to you
No... you can't? Because I've actually played him for 4 seasons? Hell, I've played him more this season alone.
LordGeovanni1 votesyou assumeing that i havent playing just as long as you if not longer because...... as far as you or i know we could have started the same day.
Skias1 votesNo... you can't? Because I've actually played him for 4 seasons? Hell, I've played him more this season alone.
I'm assuming it because that is exactly what your player record says. You are bronze 2, I'm silver 2. You are a full 5 divisions below me with a fraction of my games and those games you played weren't Taric. You haven't played him enough.
LordGeovanni1 votesyou cant play him like a fighter his ap and armor ratios are shit and he lost 2 damageing spells. and taric wasnt a heal bot previously but his heal allowed him and allies to stay in fights now its a slight bump for much less than people get when they put ranks in their spells in addition to scaleing like shit its not usefull in battle because its weak as fuk and its not useful out of battle cause you cant use your passive which by the way takes 2 hits to do what it used to do in 1 hit same damage spread over 2 hits same 2 refunded seconds but spread over 2 hits and in addition to that you cant build attack speed on him if you want to because his attack speed when useing the passive is shit and fixed

You say I can't, but I have been having more success with Fighter builds than with AP/Support builds. Their itemization is simply better and Taric is a champ with wide item accessibility. The way you talk makes me think you literally have played very little of him.
LordGeovanni1 votesyou may play him more now but im sure you didnt before his rework which is why i can tell what changed in his rework and how it effected him.
Skias2 votesyou may play him more now but im sure you didnt before his rework which is why i can tell what changed in his rework and how it effected him.
According to your OP.GG, you're bronze II and have played two ranked games with Taric. I don't think you've put in the time to figure him out.
LordGeovanni1 votes2 ranked games with taric this season. i cant take shit champion lin ranked every game unless im sure i have a team that can first survive the 2 seconds it takes for his only good spell to work and that can finish the fight in the time before it stops
LordGeovanni1 voteshe is weaker he lost 2 damaging abilities his passive got basically got told you have to wait double the time to do the same thing it could do before. lost armor shread utility weakened q and weakened e. i could cast taric's e 4 times and and his w 8 times in his old pre rework form in the time it takes to do one rotation of new taric's rotation where i can use e twice. In addition he can no longer use wits end to supplement mages with out it being super terrible because of the fixed attack speed him loseing 60% of his magic damage his combos takeing longer (more magic damage loss).

You obviously don't play Taric. How are you waiting double the time when his Cool down reduction on his passive makes his cooldowns available every 1.5s? Do you not know how to consume all his Bravado strikes before casting again? Armor shred utility was shit on a champ that deals mainly magic damage. Unless you are wasting your Starlight on 1 charges heals, its very easy to chain 3 star heals repeatedly for 180hp each, continuously until the end of a fight. His itemization is also better along with not getting absolutely hard countered by AP champs like he used to. Current E deals more damage, scales better and is actually useful at a distance, unlike old dazzle who's damage was worthless at max range because it scales with distance to target.
Do you have the impression his attack speed is fixed? You know that attack speed does increase Bravado's speed as well? You should be getting 5 or 6 dazzles off in a normal teamfight. You seem really misinformed. Buy the champ and actually play him before making a long out of your ass breakdown of his abilities lol.
ReZisT Lust1 votesYou just build full gem build to get the max out of taric and gems its a hidden passive many dont know about
