Taric Build Guide by Taneren

Very nice and in-depth guide. Thank you :)

Oh, I think you kept it in list format so it kept the indent. Send me a pm of the coding you used and I'll see what I can do, no promises. If you could add an extra[[ to each coding that would be great.

Becomes:



Put a /list between first list and second list.

That explains it, thank you for all the help.

Hey, you requested a review so here it is.
Since we're judging based on 4 different aspects, I'll go by all of them and list all the issues/criticism/questions I have :)

It's hard for me to judge on the viability of AD Jungle Taric and AP Taric, but I do have some questions about the content:

• AP: What happens when facing an enemy like Karthus or Brand and you have to start with boots? Won't Taric often run out of mana?
  Also, how should you play before going in for the kill? What is his 'harass'?
• Jungle Taric: What clearing times does he have? Also, is counterjungling easy?

Finally, one question about the support part of the guide:

• Why is Ionian Boots of Lucidity not listed as an alternative for boots?

The weak spot of this guide.
It's ok if you're not English, but I wonder whether you did a spell check on this.
I decided to take a 'quick look' at the errors, which is why I now have a list of 98 mistakes you made, Ctrl + F them to find where these mistakes were made and fix them.

• buff's --> buffs
• and outzone them --> it's simply zone, not outzone

• It can be key to winning a team fight, by picking out their carries and on the lane its just fantastic in good combinations --> Messy. Rephrase to something like this:
  It can be key to winning a teamfight, when used to stun their carries. In lane, it's just fantastic when combined with another ability like Caitlyn's Yordle Snap Trap (you can run forward stunning them, while Cait plants a trap under them).
• [Radiance --> coding error
• a burst damage --> 'a damage' doesn't exist. Change to something like an amount of damage
• Acording to me --> According. Can be rephrased to In my opinion

• (What do my guide need?) --> What does my guide need?

There were also quite some sentences that could be rephrased, but listing those as well was simply too much work so I stuck to actual errors. Hope that's enough.


This guide looks good, but I feel like a lot of sections are the same and you use lists a bit too often in my opinion. Try making more use of columns.

To take your 'Abilities' section as an example, you could make it look like this:

Gemcraft

SPACE

Can be a minus in the laning phase, as you are forced to auto-hit some of the minions to keep up your mana. You might have to put yourself in range to get harassed, as well as pushing your lane out by auto-hitting. Also keep in mind to hit minions, who have a high amount of health. This way you can avoid killing them; last hitting is something the carry have to care about, not you.

The black text won't be visible because the Mobafire background is also black, of course ;)

There are two other issues I have, both of which I'll explain using a screenshot:

• Spacing. The red lines indicate where I think should be more Enters.
• Headings. The words with a blue circle around them are the introduction of a new subject, yet they aren't centered and don't have a fancy colour or a heading :S

Note that these pictures both show only examples of what I mean.


Absolutely amazing. Support Taric, Jungle AD Taric, AP Taric and Tank Taric. This covers everything players need to know about Taric.
A possible improvement could be also listing some enemy laners in the bottom as well as in the middle lane, but it's not necessary to add that.

That's it, hope it helps.

Great job on making such a detailed guide ^^

I'm not a Taric-fan, but I read this to get more knowledge. :)

I think that the only Taric that should be played, is support Taric. I think that this is most viable in SERIOUS games. As AP or AD, I think that other champions are better. And as a player, who plays as tank very often, I'd say that Taric is a bad tank - he got only one CC.

Still, It's good that you tried all the possibilieties, but I think that you should pay most attention to support-Taric. +1 of course for your effort.

P.S. If you like tanky supports, try out Alistar - he is my favorite supporting champion. :)

I play alistar too :p
But well, I also mention that Taric tank, shouldnt be played and is not recommended by me.
Jungle Taric might not be the best either, since there are many better jungle picks.

And about AP Taric, it is viable and I play it in ranked, I only lost 1 game with it, but I never had a negative K/D/A in Ranked with AP Taric. (Not that I play it THAT Much :) )

Thank you for the vote.
-Taneren.

I understand you win ranks with AP Taric but think for a moment - will he nuke the enemy as good as Gragas or Brand? I don't think so. So I wouldn't count him as ap carry.

For me (if not support) he can be rather ap-offtank (something like mordekaiser).

True ;) But I like a challenge, and this is also a reason why I havent made a chapter, of how play ranked. Since only support should be picked in ranked.

an awsome guide gj mate here is every thing sum1 will ever need to play taric
