League Of Legends

What other support has more utility then Taric? Explain it to me. He has the second best single target stun in the game, next to Sion's. The stun no longer is distanced based to duration, how it use to be. It has a low cooldown, and low mana cost.

Melee close by, but not last hitting, minions to reduce the cooldown on your heal, which scales great into mid and late game.

Let's not forget Shatter is by far one of the best early game buffs you can give to your AD Carry, as long as YOU DON'T USE IT UNLESS YOU'RE BURSTING DOWN AN ENEMY CHAMPION. I can't stand it when players spam Shatter when they're suppose to keep it up to help reduce the harass your carry takes.

Granted, Sona's ULT is still better for initiation, Taric's ULT used with Shurelya's Reverie, can completely shutdown a heavy carry in a team fight, and in general. Shurelya's Reverie, ULT, Dazzle, then use Shatter if needed, will give your team so much mobility and burst damage it's not even funny.

If you want to play AP with Taric, more power to you. He has no problems farming, so I don't know what the hell you're talking about. I've even had great success in jungling with him back before his change and the jungle change. It's all in knowing how to Rune and setup your Masteries for the roll, and champion.

Don't knock Taric because he's not as brainless to play as Sona, or another support champion.

"Look at me guys! All I have to do is mash QWE. I'm so good at playing Sona!"

"Oh, I'm Alistar, I don't know how to Headbutt+Pulv, so I'll just keep pushing the enemy champ to safety, ok guys?"

Tell me what champion you like to play a lot so I can tell other players he sucks because I don't know anything about him.

I'm not knocking down taric, he has his utility. It's just that every other support minus Karma is MORE useful

Single target stun - it's cool but reduced by tenacity and its single target.

Heal - His heal is lackluster compared to Soraka and overtime Alistar/Sona heal more

Shatter - The armor is cool, the - armor is also cool (But you lose armor bonus)

Ult - It's nice but for an ult it lacks in utility.


Soraka - Strong heal, Global Heal, Heal gives a crapton armor, can give mana back and lowcool down silence targeted silence, passive gives MR.

Alistar - AoE heal, AoE knockairborn (Not reduced by tenacity), single target knock back (Not reduced by tenacity), Ult makes him a perfect initiator/disruptor

Sona - AoE heal, AoE buffs, AoE fairly strong damage, AoE Stun

Janna - AoE knockairborn, Mega single target slow, +50 AD + Shield buff, AoE heal/knockback/slow, +MS global passive

Blitz - Grab, Knockairborn, AoE silence, does a fair amount of damage, passive makes him tankier



So yes, Taric is lackluster as a support while not being horrible. he is better than Karma and karma can still do fairly well.

I found my new favorite jungler

Hi I'm Ahri.
I'm a support in this team :/

Your fail is support... GET TARIC

I'm going to correct some of your misinformation about some of these champions and how they work.

Points on Soraka, as she is STILL the best support in the game. Her only real weakness is her survivability and her main heal suffers from a heafty cooldown. That can be improved with the right items.

Alistar suffers from severe mana issues. His heal doesn't scale well, and it will destroy, again, your mana pool quickly. He is only there for utility, much like Blitzcrank, who also suffers from mana issues. The issues with Blitz can be remedied with a Tear of the Goddess, which helps his passive. Alistar, not much you can but save Headbutt Pulv for real times where you'll need it. Alistar has the power of initiation with his ultimate. That's a huge pro.

All of your information on Sona is incorrect. Her abilities are not AoE, her passive auras are, however. Her Q and W only effect two targets, and E gives a small speed increase. Her ultimate is also not AoE, it's conal. Sona suffers from no real drawbacks other then if she gets caught out of place, she's dead.

Information on Janna is wrong as well. Her tornado is, also, not AoE, it's directional. Her slow is effected by tenacity, which you failed to mention, and her ultimate does not slow, just a knockback and AoE heal to allied champions. (This was just nerfed fyi).

should pick the support that compliments the range carry you're support on bot

Right, I forgot about Janna's ult nerf, it's the only place where I made a mistake. Her slow is affected by tenacity, but its a 4 seconds slow.

Alistar has no mana issues unless you spam your skill like a madman for some reason, you have runes/masteries that can help if thats the case, same thing for blitz also they should both start with meki which gives mana regen. Tear is not a support item.
Soraka isn't the best support, Janna is.

AoE is area of effect, it can hit multiple targets so yes, Janna's q and Sona's skills are AoE.

I think I made him mad.

So, Blitz and Alistar should both start with a Meki Pendant, but NOT build Tear of the Goddess......

What are you gonna build it into? You're gonna waste the gold and sell it back instead of starting with Faerie Charm and Wards? Then building the Faerie Charm into your first Gold/10, a Philosopher's Stone?

If you say Chalice of Harmony, you should probably stop talking about support champions here.

I'm not trying to sound like a complete ***, but you have no idea what you're talking about.

They nerfed the heal on Janna's ult? I always felt it was rather lackluster to begin with.

Wicked Lulu so hot <3

kittiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiies

I meant Faerie charm not meki. I don't know what I'm talking about but I'm ranked gold playing 90% of the time ranged AD or Support

it's 1am I'm going to bed soon and no I'm not mad at all O.o

a good placement of the knockback though can win a teamfight

No, I know. A love a good Janna. The heal was negligible though. You rarely rarely rarely used it to heal. Only to push enemy champs away.
