Mana Bruiser Taric Inc.

[quote=OTGBionicArm][quote=Nighthawk] Poppy doesn't have a reliable stun, poppy has no heal, poppy has no sustain in lane, poppy doesn't provide an aura, etc etc etc. They're completely different champions, there's literally nothing to compare them with. Also Taric can probably effectively dive Nasus under tower repeatedly if he really wanted to. Or just harass with dazzle if he wants to last hit, or just ignore Nasus and go roam and set up the entire game for his team, or just kill the jungler/disrupt his farm or just ignore nasus completely and when lategame comes roll over him anyways because of his tankiness and aura buffs and peel and just being more useful then a Nasus ever will be. also otg if you take credit from me for saying taric is a good solo top before anyone else and being a hipster i'll kill you, i did it long before this thread >:C [/quote] So did I. Why does it matter? I made the prediction that he would become commonplace outside support. Everyone already knew he's a strong solo laner, he just lacks power after early game, currently.[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex]just came to mind the new passive will make lasthitting very easy? :P also, [[Poppy]] is an assassin with a troll passive. who will dive better? no idea, but i have no idea why poppy is in this thread, since the playstyle and "power curves" are completely different.[/quote]

[quote=DKitten]He's already viable as an AP-AoE Burst mage. I've taken over mid, as Taric, when the mid disconnected. You can easily get a lot of damage. I don't have access to the PBE, so I can't experiment with it. But changing the damage to armor discourages mid-Taric b/c only Talon and maybe Fizz use AD at all in mid.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]What about mid panth, zed or kha'zix? D:[/quote]

[/quote] because I've thought he was a good counterpick that no one played solo top, and now my baby is coming to fruition. Just think about how you would be if people started theorycrafting Viktor and going 'yeah he's going to be really good, i was the first person to play him' blablbla :P (although i don't play taric as much as you play viktor hue)[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]my predictions of laning [[taric]] and the eventual [[Viktor]] overtake of mid lane are my gifts to the LoL community. Heed my words people![/quote]

[/quote] Yeah, me too. Nasus and Poppy has power curves moar strong, the two are Hyper-Carriers. But, the question about Taric in TOP and Jungle, I agree with it all. Taric actually can counters the most of Bruisers, with this patch, the power of Taric will be discovered at all. I have to read the recent patch notes, because this is too wonderful to be true.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]Well, they change the base AD of [[taric]] every day.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Because they want him to be about the same if he builds 0 mana items. <_< If he builds tanky mana items, he'll be stronger.[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]Doubt his role is going to be any different. He doesn't provide what champs need as a bruiser. Relies on autoattacks and has no gapclosers to follow up which is a failure. Technically all autoattacker bruisers suck anyways. Maybe AP mid but I highly doubt it as well. He's still an aura bot lol[/quote]
