Items: Good
Masteries: Good, I suggest Hardiness instead of Resistance because of AD carries and minions.
Runes: It's fine
Guide: Really good, you put a lot of effort into it. Definitely.

Overall: +1 for sure. >xD

For those wondering, my reason for taking Resistance instead of Hardiness is that Taric has really high armor as it is, so I feel filling in a gap is just a lot more appropriate when you have up to 60 armor from an ability alone. Thanks for the review!


Did I help you? Do you feel nice today? Take a look at my guide,I would really appreciate it.

Hey Xeno :D
Unfortunately, Taric is propably the only one or along with few others that I have never even played / taken a look at. It's really hard for me to give opinion :/
I can just say that this is really amazing and good build. It was really pleasant to read trough. I can't give proper rating, sorry. But I will give this a upvote and +rep.
Good job ^^

Trust me, it is good to have the viewpoint of someone who doesn't now anything about Taric. Go ahead any try him if you need a ranked support, he is incredibly easy to support idiots with in the mid game. Can't say that for an aggressive early game, tho.

Great guide really easy to read and had a lot of good information! I listed below a few things I'd consider fixxing and some stuff I liked, the best way to improve this guide would be more information :).

  • Weird way to do cheat sheet but I get it.
  • i wouldnt say taric is the most vesatile.
  • I personally perfer exhaust on taric, this makes kills so much easier I find.
  • sorry to break your heart...but, barly anyone use CV anymore XD.
  • in masteries your CV picture didn't go because you missed a [.
  • Nice little summoner spell explanation...you forgot surge :P clearly the best for taric hands down!(thats sarcasim)
  • your Q also lowers from attacking champions I belive!
  • For dazzle you mean max first not level first I think.
  • explain skill sequence already please 0__0
  • good item section, I personally build all 3 gold items and then upgrade shuyhlia's and sometimes randuin's but, I keep the kage pick there for a long time just to soak in gold! If I don't plan on getting a randuin's I keep the HOG there for a long time too but, yeah I like gettings 3 gold per 10 items and then getting boots(always getting wards) than upgrading phillo to a shyrilia's or getting ageis(most cost effective item in the game imo).
  • LOL at mindset thing, I always assume EVERYONE is an idiot XD than after 3 minutes I can usually confirm or deny that :P.
  • good mention of oracles everyone forgets that!
  • You seriously link a lot of other people's guides 0__0 Also you can add a picture or something of common ward spots or get a video pretty easily would help the visual.
  • so far coding is fine and the guide is easy to read.
  • you are sadly wrong in the fact that most supports can 1v1 the adc if the adc sucks :P seriously i'm not kidding ali and taric are great for that since they have a lot of natural armor and some heavy hitting spells...then again the adc has to suck :P
  • old video 0__0 still works though.
  • I like how you added a lot of match ups.
  • you can't stun batman...he stuns you!
  • laning tips/partner/enemys was pretty short and to the point could add a little more but, it is pretty good.
  • I kinda skimmed the match ups but, they seemed good.
  • for some reason I completely missed your rune section...they are great. Also add armor marks as an alternative. if you have gp10 quints and armor marks you are very tanks and get dah moneyz$!
  • I liked how you added buffs section also I consider 9 mid game :P than you usually have 1 maxed skill!

Great guide +1 for sure, You covered a lot of information here...good job for being level 22! Things I'd improve to make the guide better, coding, items(add more) and explanations and some more alternative stuff. Hope this helped you, if you want a re-review ever feel free to ask.

Oh, trust me, I know the feel about the box, bro.
  • He is really versatile. You can build him for every role but the AD carry with quite a lot of viability, and even in those roles, you have quite a lot of choice. As for support Taric, I chose to focus on only one way to play him as a support.
  • The thing with CV is really a thing of personal prefference. It has saved me so many times and assisted in a lot of kills because it enabled me to catch people trying to break LoS with the brush. I will move up exhaust up a tier, tho, I really underestimate it.
  • Yeah, I'll add the picture for the sake of convenience.
  • Indeed, Imbue does lower it's cooldown for attacking anything. Need to make that clear.
  • When did I say that you should 1v1 anyone? Need to find that.
  • Skill sequence is explained in the early game section. Need to make that clear.

Thanks a lot for the constructive criticism, +rep and I'll add all the stuff you mentioned once the banners get done.
