I don't like it because it's not as amazingly fun to play top lane taric.

I mean we still dominated because once you hit midgame you can sit in the middle of the enemy team and never die, but still

this is like my 8th game on this patch and the first time ive actually gotten a taric on my team and not had him banned

i cant wait to be super underwhelmed by him

When I die, I hope they say I made the eSports industry a better place than I made millions of dollars.
My initial impression of Taric was that he was insanely overpowered but my measured impression of him after 4-5 games is that his lane presence is not fantastic, his mana costs are oppressive even if you are running regen, and he's probably still more of a situational anti-AD pick than a generalist.

His team fighting is incredible and dazzles are much easier to land into piles of people but the combo casting off the shielded target is a lot more underwhelming than I expected. His new ult is most definitely superior for coordinated team fighting especially at the highest levels of play, but his old ult and kit basically guaranteed you a kill at six if your lane opponent made a single mistake, which made it easier to snowball.

He has so little offensive presence now that he can't really posture unless his dazzle is ready to go and a jungler or mid laner is there to help gank. His cool downs are long enough too and you can't reliably melee in laning phase without eating trade damage, so if you fish with a dazzle and miss you might as well pack it up for the next fifteen seconds because you are going to get beat on.

I still think he's really strong he just has a lot more downsides than I initially thought.

e. our support this game is hovering taric and asked "is taric even good?"

Jungle taric feels like its a little weak, like its good but could be better. Has brutal ganks for laners with gapclosers but i feel like his damage is too low and hes not tanky enough.

yeah there's no doubt it was absolutely broken in that state, and i'm kind of guessing it'll still be viable, you'd just have to be more careful about when/what you spawn your voidlings on and kiting

Without the ability to spawn 3+ in the jungle (and thus enable the attack speed boost) jungle Malzahar is pretty much dead in the water.

So because I wasn't playing when URF was introduced I've only heard about how hyped it is from my various friends who think it's the best thing ever.

Anyone care to share stupidly fun poo poo to do in it? I tried AA Bard and it was great.

Tank Malphite failed like a bitch and Dianna wasn't the infinite shields powerhouse I thought she would be because the CD starts after the shield expires and her Ult CD is still 5 seconds, so she gets burst to poo poo the moment you dive on someone.

W duration and cooldown up. Love Tap no longer extends W’s duration, but now reduces its cooldown.

Retuning Strut for higher potential uptime should bring Miss Fortune’s baseline a little closer to the expectations of her class, without hindering the unique bullet-hell style of teamfighting she’s known for.

W - Strut
ATTACK SPEED DURATION 3 seconds ⇒ 4 seconds
COOLDOWN 8 seconds ⇒ 12 seconds
REMOVEDTAP DANCING Applying Love Tap no longer extends the duration
NEWSTRUT YOUR STUFF Cooldown now begins on-cast instead of when the buff expires
NEWGUNS BLAZINGWhile Strut is on cooldown, applying Love Tap reduces its remaining cooldown by 2 seconds (scales down with cooldown reduction)

This is a really dumb patch note when the change actually lowers the potential uptime rather than increase it. It annoys me more than it should.

How does it decrease the uptime? If you get one love tap a second during your AS boost it's only ever on cooldown while active so it has 100% uptime, if you miss one you get 2 seconds of downtime instead of getting eight as soon as you drop your combo. CDR seems way more reliable than trying to keep up an infinite chain. Does strut passive only reactivate on cast? Because if so the uptime on that surely is going through the roof.

Zed is cancer and awful to play against, especially if its the spamming mastery emote kind.

Wukong is also cancer.


Just had a game vs AP Shaco, Zed, Morgana, Yorick. It was awful and not fun to play against in the least. My team didn't have any of the champs mentioned in your post.

I am sad because playing Bard is fun but when I'm constantly running into Wu/Zed/Morg it makes me fell like I should be playing one of the anti-fun champs just to win.

Tryndamere, Udyr, Vayne. Tryndamere is basically impossible to deal with without CC unless he's super behind, Udyr is such a fast jerk that he can gank through deep wards, and Vayne's stupid invisibility cancels Darius ult and her damage is impossible to itemize against.
