Well if you feel confidant you can get into it before 500, I just personally wouldn't o:

With Taric make sure to blow both your W and your R immediately, that needs to be the up front damage, then the buff/debuff will help your carry do even more. I'm not sure if you're doing this already, but you should be maxing W first, in case you've been maxing Q o:

Also, you can exhaust their carry, to stop him from hurting yours. If you have a bursty carry, like Graves, or Tristana, you should easily be able to 100 > 0 someone at level 6.

If you stun into exhaust they should die before the exhaust is even gone, unless they flash, or use a different escape, in which case they should still take heavy damage :P

I guess that was the main problem. I always maxed Q first. My ADC always got low hp so I thought maxing Q would benefit them more.

I never tried that before, but now when I think about it there were a lot of opportunities to use those that method and possible secure my ADC a kill. O.O
Well I learn something new everyday! Thanks :D.

Yeah, always max W. The armour it adds will protect your AD anyway and it allows you to burst like crazy. Basically what Acid said.

i'm pretty sure there are times when maxing heal instead of shatter is better.

If you want to play a passive heal lane pick Soraka. Taric is a hairy chested manly **********er who kills people for breakfast.

I got sucked in into doing ranked before but on a personal level, I gave myself until I have around 500 wins (I have 328 now). I'm playing my normal as if they were ranked, seriously, warding properly and communicating a lot. I'm not doing it because I'm afraid to be an embarrassment but because I'm competitive and I want to be ready to compete when I start. I was pro streams and I'm narrowing down a line up of champions for the 2 or 3 roles I want to be ready to fulfill.

IMO you should try playing rank now because it gets reset 2 days later.
If you fail during the time and fell into elo hell.
It's getting reset so you have nothing to worry about.

Besides learning about which champ you perform best in ranked..
You also get to experience all the raging and learn how to dwi...

Don't play cause Ranked is freakin dumb and frustrating...sorry but I have super bad luck in ranked and I always get dumbass trolls, afk-ers or people who focus on the chat instead of the game..I shouldn't be ruining your morale or whatever you call it..I guess you should go for it and see how it goes cause the season is ending anyways..so yeah go for it but only if you have the nerves for it lol
