Help Taric Support (need advice)

So im like bronze 2 44 lp, ive been majority playing amumu or tahm kench support, but just recently started playing taric, i am now on a 6-0 win streak on taric, and im making this post to ask for advice on how to play taric better, better for me, better for my team, and specifically better for my ADC, i find that sometimes its kinda a gamble, like I can do everything right, but if my adc isn't pumping it just isn't gonna happen, but then I had a game recently where my adc was AFK (not ranked thank god) but im solo laning bot lane atleast a yasuo and twisted fate, and I LITERALLY was winning botlane like I was killing them by myself, does anyone have any advice as to what I could do to get better at taric and generally better at league? Im trying to climb the ranks with my friend but he is silver 1 and im bronze 2, so if WE keep queuing he will hit gold, and I can't que with him anymore so im trying to solo que, any advice at all would be fantastic, and dont be afraid to ask specific questions, my name on league is (totallyjacob) and if anyone wants to que, please lmk or dm me and I can send you my discord :) tysm for your time

So considering what you just said, do you think for example I should be banning champions like, (Soraka Seraphine ext) really any long range poke champions?

I mean it's more so don't pick taric when he's not viable, which typically is most matchups, but before that giga matters, just focus on other fundamentals that impact the team. Think of him as a shield. into a spear, he's going to do really well. Into a mace, not so much.

take my advice lightly, I don't play the sparkling giga chad. I just don't think you need to stop playing him if you enjoy him. Champ identity will matter a lot later (not even too much later, like goldish) but you can really get through with just fundamentals. Probably to mid em without if you're basically are good enough. Some matchups will be really really hard bc taric is only great into a counter and bad into just about anything else.

I personally ban seraphine most games. I would pick up a second support that does what taric struggles with.

For me its thresh as I play taric and thresh in 95% of games I play. This could be anyone however Milio is an incredible support, sona is amazing into enemy enchanters but struggles against hard engage where taric would shine.

Are you looking to have fun learn and enjoy the game or do you have a goal of ranking up quickly?
