Taric: The Rising Support Champion in League of Legends
Recently, Taric has emerged as one of the strongest support picks in League of Legends. With an early win rate of over 55% at Platinum ranks and higher on Patch 13.11, Taric has been dominating the role, according to U.GG, the popular stats aggregator for League of Legends. In fact, Taric has consistently been among the top three supports in win rate over the last five updates.
His Unique Strengths and Limited Presence in Professional Play
Despite his fabulousness, Taric remains a niche pick in professional play with only a 1.3% pick rate in the last patch. However, his unique abilities have the potential to greatly benefit other powerful champions in the current meta. Taric’s toolkit includes healing, shielding, and a massive stun that can sway the outcome of engagements. Additionally, his ultimate ability, Cosmic Radiance, can prolong teamfights and grant invulnerability to his teammates for 2.5 seconds. This ability allows hyper-carry champions like Zeri, Jinx, and Lucian to excel in teamfights and recover from potentially dire situations.
His Hidden Potential and Future Prospects
Despite not receiving any major buffs or nerfs, Taric remains a hidden gem among support players. If Riot decides to give Taric more attention in future patch notes, we may witness this dazzling guardian rise in popularity and become a favored choice among players.
