Oh yeah, he's a CertainlyT champ so he needs to have massive free stats shoehorned into his abilities for no reason.

Darius literally just runs up to you while you're farming and takes half your health until laning phase is over and he becomes useless.

Luckily I hear he's getting a rework real soon along with Garen and Skarner.

something I have learned over years of playing this game is not to underestimate strange picks, those are normally the ones to watch out for. remember this phrase:

If it can go tanky support, It can go top as well.

one time the enemy team was all AD so i went taric top against a Vi. I made the Vi leave the lane and i had 500 armor before 25 minutes. I couldnt die it teamfights. it was glorious

Weaknesses of cheese picks isn't that they can't hold top. Their problem is that enemy can basically free farm and be more useful in teamfights or objective control.

Lets say I pick Jarvan into your Taric and we have 200 cs each with 2/2/0. You will not push me out of lane if I have lifesteal. I am harder to gank, I can jump your carries and evaporate them even if they flash. I can initiate better than you i can disengage better than you, I can chase better than you...

If we both have tps I will have way more impact even if im down in gold.

Yes, I will not kill you but you will not be my primary target in teamfights anyway. You can have your 300 armor. My apc will deal with you later.

This x1000. Great - you made laning phase a pain for me. Who cares. May the teamfights begin.

This is a 4v5 with an Top Taric who was supposed to support http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1897413921/200859411?tab=overview

Here's one where my opponent was a Yasuo http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1893058342/200859411?tab=overview

and here is one we lost, but if you look at the statistics i still did more damage then their Fiora, who did the most damage http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1893164319/200859411?tab=overview

FYI I pushed these people out of lane with little to no ganks Just saying

Hard PenetratorAug 4, 20152 votes

Look I am not saying you can't win with them, ofc you can and you can have fun doing that. But generally against good players you won't be able to bully them to the point they won't be able to farm. They will build m res and lifesteal and they will sit till they get gank or get their core items. And if you fall behind you are done while some other picks like Riven, Jarvan, Gnar, Rumble will still to tons of stuff.

People underestimate the outrageous nature of taric's gameplay. They got no idea what an outrageous laning phase they will spend with taric.

In s3 ranked I almost exclusively played toplane Taric. I wound up getting as high as plat! Fun times, fun times.

Taric was different back then; instead of being such a beefcake, his biggest perk was his spammable Q (Q -> auto -> Q -> auto --> Q -> etc.) - he could keep any one teammate (and himself) indefinitely alive during teamfights, which was awesome. Much like how he could heal all teammates passing by him whenever. And how his heal was in general. Man, that heal...

Like dang, Imbue used to be freakin' amazing when it was on a short cooldown when maxed out! Now that's gone and he's mostly tank&spank. And, like other people here are saying, if he does no damage lategame he gets rekt in teamfights, so you better be able to spank really hard; max out CDR and get dat Triforce.

Best of luck to all you fellow truly outrageous Taric mains!
