so one amazing thing i learned about Taric is that hsi Autos are enhanced with how much armour you have after using an ability. It's an "on hit" effect which is weird for him. It's still a great game to showcase how Niche Taric can be an di love him~
An inevitable day approaches, whereupon Zwag shall be forced to relinquish his preferred strategies and succumb to the dictates of this ignoramus. Alas, we are then destined to witness him struggle through an otiose configuration, one that evokes the whimsy of a randomized selection process.
the taric who's only damage item was a sheen, outdamaged everyone on his team. ur teammates shouldve gotten a thornmail, it'd increase their damage output
Day 420 of asking Zwag to play crit Rek'Sai Day 1 is on "JINX, BUT MY ROCKETS MULTIPLY AND DO TRIPLE AOE DAMAGE (IT LOOKS LIKE A GLITCH)" on TC channel
I remember the times before Taric is reworked. I used to play him on top lane, build full armor and 1v4 1v5 the enemy team if they were full AD. It was most fun only second to playing AP Tristana (before she is reworked too).
I discovered years ago, shortly after the Taric rework to his current state that he is, in-fact Darius' hardest counter in early lane. Also, you didn't do my build, although you did mention it, so at least there's that. The thing about going ER/Flicker which, you go ER first, then tanky, you get Flicker last or once you don't need to be tankier to survive. Anyway, next time try it out for realsies. Plus you even said: "I am playing a top lane tank, you know how it goes when I don't play the damage dealer." Well...you had the opportunity to be the damage dealer and you chose tank. That said, you were correct that it's a split pushing/dueling build and your mid got hardcore smurfed on, so this was indeed a bad game for it.
I ❤ me some Taric, one of my favorite champs. Weird as hell. Hard-ish to play in a team environment unless your teammates are familiar with how his abilities work. Easy to kite, but that's the tradeoff for being one of the best (if not the best) stand-and-tank 1v1 champs in the game. A few pointers: get 2 points in Q before one point in W, but then max your favored ability before putting more into Q. I don't put more than 4 in Q until late game because it is somewhat infrequent to actually use a 5-charge Q in the middle of a fight, and that extra point in E or W is usually more impactful. I usually build these same items, but almost always Merc Treads. He's just too easy to lock down. When we had mythic items, Gauntlet provided tenacity as well.
I could see taric with titanic and overlords bloodmail being an absolute chad. probably need something like stridebreaker also tho so you can stay in melee range
I know you had to go tank this game but seeing a Taric with Essence Reaver would be hilarious. Maybe a on-hit mana item would be good for extra mana padding plus the on-hit damage would be nice. In fact, I guess a full on-hit damage Taric would be fun to watch. Maybe BORK for first or second item. Possibly Phantom Dancer for movespeed so it's harder to be kited.
So glad you didn’t do navori and ER. Navori has had a bug forever where it breaks your heal and puts it on an even longer cooldown lol and with no on hit on ER you’d be doing a whole lot of no damage lol
A max mana ryze build would look like this: tear>ROA>CDR/Defensive Boots>Seraphine's>Ludens/Blackfire>Rabadons>Blackfire/Ludens then you could sell boots for either MPen, if you need armour can go zhonyas or even F.Heart, or if you really just want mana+ap then you have malignance though he cant use the damage part of it (but if you have a team that is actually making good use of your ult, you could build it last I guess so you can have it up more often, another great, possibly the best boot replacement, especially for ryze is cosmic drive :)
If you wanted insane healing you need to try Helia. With how Taric’s healing and autos work he can put out 300HP heals to an ally. That with wits end and bloodsong and I’ve out damaged my mid and jgl lol
Honestly I still think fimbulwinter would still be good on him, definitely should look at getting hullbreaker though, 5 AA's wont take long for taric haha
23:57 That viago player stayed in fountain for almost 30 seconds while you were fighting in top lane. This guy needs to be banned from that character and Jg role.
Taric seems weak lately. Last split he felt almost unstoppable. Probably item changes I guess. When I play him I usually go tear into a Sheen, boots then IceBorn, picking up swifties upgrade sometime in there where it feels right. Sometimes mercs are necessary, but swiftys help a lot to land the stun and be in their face more. Then straight into Spirit Visage building the tear into Fimbulwinter after that. He is, or at least was, stupid strong with Iceborn and Visage. I run all the same runes except movement speed instead of adaptive, and tenacity instead of health. Not sure if those tweaks would improve the feel a bit, but you looked slow as hell. The CD on lucidity is nice in lane sometimes but later is about useless. Rest of the items I use are situational. Thornmail probably after Fimblewinter on this one. Thought you played it great but it looked like your autos weren't doing squat even with sheen, which was really odd. IDK, weird game. Also in a 1v2 if you can attack the DPS first even if the other stuns a lot unless you can pop them quick. If you can squeak through it most of the time you can heal back up putting the beat down on the other guy after the dps is dead. Alternating shield with the heals more when possible helps a ton there too. GG though man, sorry bout the team. Hope you have a great weekend 🎉

Quick tip with taric. You put 2 points into q before maxing e so you get double the healing.
I learned that one from lightrocket2, great guy
You only put 2 points into Q then Max E and W
@@halvarianknight4477that's what he said

@@halvarianknight4477 I max w the last tho
Darius was not expecting the Taric to stand there and smack him. 😂
Win or lose, watching you beat Darius senseless was worth it.
It's a bad day when a taric top is MVP lmao
This game contained more wet noodles than a bowl of spaghett.

Can't wait to try that and make sure their enemy top never starves.
Yo didnt expect to see you here. Love your music! I use it for DnD all the time!
@@niromanti5935 Ahaha thanks! I find my inspiration for war ambiences in the LoL chat.
those teammates were painful to watch
I just lost a game because of those teammates.. omg, it's so mental when my team is like inexperienced while enemies isn't
“Darius must be pinging him” Zwag’s game knowledge is insane. The ability to recognize what everyone else is doing while playing makes me sick
Darius was the perfect example with Zac of what we say in Mexico for the babysit "you can't do it without your girlfriend". Te quiero mucho Zwag.
Viego was getting demolished everywhere 😅
That first gank from Viego was the telling sign
So where the rest of his team 🤣
18:39 man's just booked it lmao
Ngl, the taric vids are my favorite
Id love to see Taric in Arena!
WOOOOOOOOAH YEAH BABY THAT'S WHAT I BEEN WAITING FOR
Hwei really though a Seraph's would save him from a zed..? 💀 i really don't understand how people can't comprehend simple concepts like armor and HP
3:20 holy moly you beat his ASS dude
A Taric game in the year of our Lord 2024 😮😮
Not even having finished the video, just by seeing the comments, I can already tell that zwag has been afflicted with the "tank top laner curse"
And that's why tanks like Ornn, Tahm and Mundo exist. No teammates to do dmg? Do the dmg yourself.
Didn't watch the video for a year or two. But now I just have a problem with sleep. Swags voice is the best medicine. Gg wp. Good night everybody
“Did Zwag Xerath get the first 6 CS?”
No, he missed 2 caster minions
Lose Streak: 4
day 523
of waiting for my dad to return
Well thanks for trying. BTW wits is pretty good MR item on taric. The tenacity is real nice.
Day 70 of asking for full attack speed Zoe 😊
I know this is just opinion and therefore isn't worth a whole lot but this idea doesnt sound very interesting to me. It just seems so boring
An inevitable day approaches, whereupon Zwag shall be forced to relinquish his preferred strategies and succumb to the dictates of this ignoramus. Alas, we are then destined to witness him struggle through an otiose configuration, one that evokes the whimsy of a randomized selection process.
No digas mamadas mary Jane
I'm intrigued, what would the benefits of attack speed Zoe be? I'm asking out of interest.
@@GenerationLex none benefits, only read it about are boring xD
Yes !!! Love taric. Used to be my main. Was funny when he could be a really good busier also.
Everyday is a good day when Taric is on the Rift.
The order of the bejeweled mace lives on.
Second skin of the day: Classic Taric.
the taric who's only damage item was a sheen, outdamaged everyone on his team.
ur teammates shouldve gotten a thornmail, it'd increase their damage output
I'm going to use that line from now on: "buy thornmail, you'll do more damage that way" XDD
Day 420 of asking Zwag to play crit Rek'Sai
Day 1 is on "JINX, BUT MY ROCKETS MULTIPLY AND DO TRIPLE AOE DAMAGE (IT LOOKS LIKE A GLITCH)" on TC channel
420 deserves. If he still wont just give up
I remember the times before Taric is reworked. I used to play him on top lane, build full armor and 1v4 1v5 the enemy team if they were full AD.
It was most fun only second to playing AP Tristana (before she is reworked too).
Interesting darius build xd well played swag
This is why Taric is a secret jungle pick and probably even more viable after 14.10.
I discovered years ago, shortly after the Taric rework to his current state that he is, in-fact Darius' hardest counter in early lane. Also, you didn't do my build, although you did mention it, so at least there's that.

not really, trundle is, taric just works because darius players don't usually know how strong Taric's lvl 1-2 is and go for a cheese
I ❤ me some Taric, one of my favorite champs. Weird as hell. Hard-ish to play in a team environment unless your teammates are familiar with how his abilities work. Easy to kite, but that's the tradeoff for being one of the best (if not the best) stand-and-tank 1v1 champs in the game.

Super fun game to watch Zwag! We're here for you not wins or losses!
OH THANK YOU ZWAG. i really wanted to see you play my main champ tysm 💖💖💖💖
Zwag can you do some full crit/lethality Gangplank?
I could see taric with titanic and overlords bloodmail being an absolute chad. probably need something like stridebreaker also tho so you can stay in melee range
Thanks for the great vid Zwag!
*I bested the Mountain. Now it's your turn* Murd3r M.J: Huh ??
Finally a Taric vid! Thank youuu
I haven’t seen Taric in so long that i forgot he existed
I know you had to go tank this game but seeing a Taric with Essence Reaver would be hilarious. Maybe a on-hit mana item would be good for extra mana padding plus the on-hit damage would be nice.

Great vid zwag, give me feel like playing taric too
back when i was taric one trick i did play taric top and my first time doing it i was against a darius. His passive hidden damage and surprises many
5:18 HERE’S ZACHARY
I really want to try counting missed cannons and I think Zwag missed 2 cannons but I could be wrong
"I turned Taric into a walking bot that can't reach the enemy team." 🐍🐍🐍
I honestly want to see this again when your team isn't straight trash
Don't really like taric games, but pressed the damn like button anyway
this build should be part of an LCS finals, if not already the case xD
This viego is the wild rift equivalent lmao
So glad you didn’t do navori and ER. Navori has had a bug forever where it breaks your heal and puts it on an even longer cooldown lol and with no on hit on ER you’d be doing a whole lot of no damage lol
If you like building mana, how about a maximum mana Ryze game? Blackfire torch + RoA + tear + as many other AP mana items as you can fit
A max mana ryze build would look like this: tear>ROA>CDR/Defensive Boots>Seraphine's>Ludens/Blackfire>Rabadons>Blackfire/Ludens then you could sell boots for either MPen, if you need armour can go zhonyas or even F.Heart, or if you really just want mana+ap then you have malignance though he cant use the damage part of it (but if you have a team that is actually making good use of your ult, you could build it last I guess so you can have it up more often, another great, possibly the best boot replacement, especially for ryze is cosmic drive :)
18:34 yup you see that herald used your 1% gone😅
If you wanted insane healing you need to try Helia. With how Taric’s healing and autos work he can put out 300HP heals to an ally. That with wits end and bloodsong and I’ve out damaged my mid and jgl lol
I forgot he was even a champion😅
I was hoping you'd go for full atk spd Taric
the taric main in me is happy
this Taric build was fun :D but as this video shows: if the champ needs a team, its not worth to dream
try next time with catalyst ( later upgrade into rode of course) into heartsteel +rift and other items situatiw tank
8:20 you backstep and it gets you on the very edge of his range. That one step killed you.
Darius got ran over in lane despite getting ganks and then talks smack at the end. Lmao.
Not gonna lie. I forgot Taric existed. Haven't seen him in YEARS!
best video made just because Darius got beaten up early game and got bullied by a Tarric
i'm not a GM ou main
but when i play taric, i like to up Q, for more healing stacks and more beating.
Finally used Taric.
I wanna see Urgot Jungler
Zwag, did you know that actually denying armor or magic resistance does bonus damage, not true damage?
Now we gotta see a bruiser Taric with triforce and manamune
Honestly I still think fimbulwinter would still be good on him, definitely should look at getting hullbreaker though, 5 AA's wont take long for taric haha
at least it was satisfying to see Taric bonk Darius
Yo do Heartsteel illaoi with overlords, iceborn, sundered sky etc.
finally! a taric video
Top lane experience in a nutshell
Yay! My boy!
Next time do crit taric with new « Essence Reaver »… Should be fun
Day 40 of asking for full crit zed 😊
Whining zwag is best zwag
It almost looks like you're playing Diablo 2 with Taric
If you add BoTRK into this specific build, then Taric becomes an absolute nuisance to the enemy team
why not try rod of age on Taric?
Taric is one of the champions that make me miss playing league
Day 34 of asking for Lucian Double Tap Nuke, pew pew!! Could pair well Taric Support
Taric is love; Taric is life
Truly, truly outrageous
You can use w in someone and they cast every spell you cast too
LETS FUCKING GOOOOO TARIC IS MY BOYYY... But you kinda just get these games and taric doesn't have carry potential unless stars align
23:57 That viago player stayed in fountain for almost 30 seconds while you were fighting in top lane. This guy needs to be banned from that character and Jg role.
That Zac skin is the win
Please play some Vladimir. And I’ll dance at your wedding.
Bit late. He's already married lol
Make an Ashe video with wildarrows

As you've been making videos of unpopular champions lately, how about a Milio video next?
My boy taric yessss
i will give out my secret taric build now since you cannot do it anymore.
divine sunderer and lethal tempo
unkillable
divine sunderer? that item doesn't exist anymore bro
Darius is a scary match up, that one is just bad. 😂
I always thought it was pronouced TAR ic, never heard tay ric
