If you feel so strongly that taric is the reason for my climb then why dont you spam him in ranked and see if you get the same result?
I like to play champions that don't cause me to fall asleep

I also hate playing any champions that are OP

the second Kha hit competitive play, I stopped maining him. I thought I was just good with him, but no, he was OP. I don't like taking advantage.

No, I'm not saying you're a bad player, I have no doubt you're a good player, most likely much better than me.

But I mean.... Taric. You can't really brag if you main Taric.

Why cant I? By that same logic you cant brag about playing any champion in this game, I mean they all only use 4 buttons, whats up with that. Basically what I meant with my post to you is do not come in to a thread being a negative nancy.

I'm rising rapidly, and if I am in a good mood, I win 5-6 games in a row, so I hope I can get to at least Silver 5 by this week. I was promoted to Bronze 1 today and played another game with another win streak, getting 23 LP! :P
Good for you, and something that helped me was when I was watching pro's stream, I would think why are they doing what they are doing? are they building tanky because they are the main tank? are they counter building their lane opponent?, where to they keep their champ positioned in team fights? where are they warding? stuff like that really helps you get better.

and I know that feeling i just got promoted to gold 5, and already up for my promotion to gold 4

How do you find yourself playing the lane in most cases?

What do you usually max?

What do you build in what order?

Congrats on the promotion and recognizing the main advantage to watching streams. Not just watching and emulating, but asking why the streamer does what he does.

It's a personal vendetta I have aganist all Taric players

that champion is just blatantly OP, but since he's a support, noone would admit it

took Riot freaking long enough to nerf him (when it finally goes live)

Taric was freelo, and he's the easiest damn champion to use in the game.

Thanks I'm currently on a 14-4 streak from silver 1 working my way up, and im really excited, but my question for you is while you were going up how did you handle it mentally? I keep worrying that at some point im going to go on a big losing streak or something, and that has kept me to only play a game or 2 a day

Assuming we are following the threads taric feel.

I like to consider myself an extremely passive player, I do not like being aggresive for the sake of being so. Everyone sees a skewed image of themselves and how they play, but i like to think I highly passive-aggresive player, I try to capitalize on enemy mistakes more then anything. Lvl 2 and Lvl 6 are big levels for my taric plays.

I always Max W afterwards Q, unless my lane is taking a unusually high amount of harass i will put 1 or 2 points in to Q before finishing W because taric's level 1 heal is such literal ****.

I dont have any set in stone build order but I always try to get Bulwark after a sightstone and then just pile on more wards

Often time I will buy parts of my philo stone every back while trying to build the sightstone.
