With a e.g. flash shurelya's garen you'll need your own team's shruelya's and some kind of CC. After that you can just turn on them since they've blown a bunch of shit and your carry is a-okay. I only see this strategy working in Normals/blind pick though. Janna/Gragas can counter the team pretty hard. | ||

Soul Shroud honestly doesn't provide a whole heck of a lot for your team, as by the time you get it, the MP regeneration doesn't really help, and I'd rather get the Stark's over the 10% cooldown reduction for the team. I do agree it's under-bought, but rightly so. It doesn't do much. Imo the concept of "Support should get auraitems" is a basic flaw in these types of arguments. Supports are starved enough already and dont benefit as much from Wota/Starks as a AP mid/AD carry would. I'd start building starks instead of Wits End and work from there. Aegis/Starks can be easily divided among bruiser top and jungler this way, wota goes to AP mid and Soul Shroud is left to the support. Profit! | ||

Doublelift talking about how Caitlyn is superior to Tristana even in teamfights on the other hand there are several games where Chaox carries hard with Tristina. Similar difference in opion on Graves during release as Chaox was calling him the best AD and still does after nerfs. CLG currently arguing this on stream against Doublelift of the merits of Tristina vs Caitlyn. | ||

Aegis/Starks can be easily divided among bruiser top and jungler this way, wota goes to AP mid and Soul Shroud is left to the support. Profit! Well I think the fact that supports are gold starved can be (and is) used to argue that they should go for items with high cost-effectiveness, such as aura items and gp/10, since they will only completing a few. Taric, Sona and Soraka also have innate auras, so presumably they'd want to adjust their strategy/tactics to fill that role. I do agree that Stark's is way underrated and probably better on another champ, since the components aren't as useful for support during the lane phase as other items. I really hate playing support but I keep winning with them, especially Taric, who is a solo queue monster. His kit is pretty balanced, and his auras pull together teamfights (in terms of gold value his W+ult are massive). Also, the slow travel time on dazzle is great for pubs, it tells your teammates "that guy is gonna be stunned soon" without needing ventrilo or even a common language. | ||

Haha, before this whole conversation I would have never thought of building starks on Taric. After reading it however, I decided to get it in my last game. Our team had Yi+Twitch+Irellia, and they all loved me for buying it. We ended up outlasting Vayne thanks to all the lifesteal, and won pretty convincingly. Neither team's Mage carry was doing much, so the starks was an obvious choice for aura item. Some people may say we won because the opponent ryze built deathcap, but then I could just argue back our anivia did nothing but bitch and complain and take kills he/she didnt deserve. Basically a 4v4 | ||

Ok, maybe the person did deserve kills, but these are the kills where your team chases them through the jungle for a min, and then right before your team kills the guy, you lay down your ult for 1 tic of damage and get the kill. | ||

In lane the only thing I'm doing is trying to last hit and zone them with q + auto attacks. And in team fights I just mash all my skills and do tons of damage. I think a crazy idea that just might work would be hybrid magic pen + armour pen reds on him for maximum zone damage in early game. Actually I think hybrid reds would be good on a lot of ap mids with ranged autos. | ||

If Skarner starts his ulti animation, and Janna ults, the Skarner ult target gets pulled through with him. Janna could flash+ult skarner back into her team while she pushes skarner's team away | ||

Chaox outright has a better understanding of the game and imo is a much better player in general. | ||
