Outrageous! How This TARIC JUNGLER Gets CHALLENGER In Korea | Season 12 Jungle Guide & Gem Build

[@virkayu]

PS: Okay.. PC inting me hard today, took too long to make main channel video. Will see you next week and if my schedule opens up - MONDAY! Thanks for watching :)

[@Chingawing]

Lightrocket2 has been a taric jungle 1 trick in NA for a while now. You might have mentioned him, but thought I'd say it again.

[@goofball1_134]

I've played against him a few times at first I got shit on but I've found ekko to be a good match up into taric as the passive ms and E make you really slippery to avoid his passive damage and stun

[@jeffchung4363]

Wow did not expect this. Love that u cover some picks that aren't always meta.

[@XirlioTLLXHR]

This pick has been meta for season 11. Quite a lot of people know about it , not sure how people missed it.

[@zerotakora8486]

@@XirlioTLLXHR 840 games in season 11, never saw a single taric

[@XirlioTLLXHR]

@@zerotakora8486 840 matches are nothing compared to the billions played every year, maybe more. Heck, I saw people on my smurfs being hardstuck gold with 1k+ matches. You have a rough estimate of 115,000,000 accounts logged in on a monthly basis, in 2021, if each account plays 10 matches a day, you do the math. And that's only the accounts logged in on a single month, there are players that are returning, you have smurfs that have 5+ accounts. What I'm saying that you not seeing it in 840 matches means literally nothing. You can't see all the picks because of the high number of champions this game has. The thing is, it's more of an exotic pick, so why he called it meta this season when it's got the same popularity as the last, but doesn't admit it was meta last season as well, is beyond my comprehension.

[@pirateplebxd1440]

@@zerotakora8486 not proud of it but same, Aatrox jgl was way more common(could be the rank)

[@vondoodle4325]

In a low elo game taric would be reported for trolling, the team mental would instantly be so low the chances of winning drop drastically

[@LlibertarianGalt]

10 seconds into the game everyone at once would type 'ff 15' and go afk at base

[@witherman7363]

I had a taric jungle in one of my gold games and like you said, I thought he was trolling until he 1v1d a camille at level 3. I'll never look at taric the same way again.

[@virkayugameplay]

Perfection.

[@ggpt9641]

The first mistake was melee-range invading Taric. His one weakness of being Melee was removed.

[@virkayugameplay]

wdym off meta jungler weak just run in at wolves what could go wrong

[@JohnSmith-qt3yw]

He showed on map too with 8 cs and after gank was less than 20% health. If he had smite up he should have invaded him. He just needed to kite better. It is a Korean Gm/challenger kindred right?

[@danielmacinnis8409]

Facepalmed when i saw this pop up on discord, but it is in fact legit.

[@virkayugameplay]

Exactly. I told you.

[@fred2727]

Your channnels should get so much more attention, man! Love your vids

I appreciate that!

[@tender0828]

Used to run AP Taric jungle when the rework came out. It's outrageous.

[@rasselgutierrez9334]

I guess I'm gonna try that taric jungle in my normal games before I play rank games.

good man

[@lubue5795]

YES! I knew this guy would eventually get a video.

[@virkayugameplay]

LOL

[@lowellunlimited]

Watching virkayu slowly lose his mind at the Taric never backing is hilarious. New 0 item taric jungle meta.

[@callmetwisted5742]

i lvoe that you took time to appreciate the leona's ult , als oty for the lovely video

[@ayamari8885]

Tried this a while a go, taric literally just smacks whoever he is facing at the early game 🤣

[@tammo.b]

I was waiting for this Video for so long.

[@Solowhale1]

Looking big bro, we all love league but proud to see you taking care of yourself ❤️

[@virkayugameplay]

Thank you! 112kg -> 103.5kg with minimal muscle loss over 8 months. It's been a journey. Now small bulk at 0.2kg a week. Metabolism went HUGE with reverse dieting. Really wanna make 3rd channel to talk about it.

[@alphators1076]

Aaah, the good old Taric jungle :) Great video, as always Do you happen de have some Sett jungle footage ? I'd like to play him well but I struggle a bit :/

[@thunderblade1883]

Dunno if someone already said it but there is an NA taric Grandmaster jungle player named Lightrocked2 he also does some streams where he explains his pick

[@DarthRadical]

I think he helped more with top lane because Taric can gank better with a melee champ. He needs the melee champ to close in order to link up with them and land his Dazzle. Even a melee support might hang back to protect the ADC, while the melee top will inherently close.

[@darkhawk574]

I'm almost positive I met this player, or more likely a fan, in a lower elo match earlier in preseason, the name seems familiar, and he was absolutely mental in the jungle.

[@jordanwait1078]

virkayu do you have another channel where u post your own gameplay? would love to see you running around on zyra jungle

[@virkayugameplay]

it's featured heavily all over my main channel :P was particularly so last week and at the end of the season. Have an older dedicated guide for that and Ornn + shows up all the time in regular guides

[@jordanwait1078]

@@virkayugameplay will make sure to watch it all, but definitely going to become a taric otp after this

[@briquesbts]

I kinda wanted to see a Voli gameplay using turbo chemtank. I haven't play a lot since the pre season hit so I don't know if it's good or a meme.

[@Kizokukun]

i always wanted to try to master kled jg. Is harder that it look, because once you losee scarl, you can't gain courage with the camps. I's a strong champ, great ganks post 6, and great dives in al strages of the games. Also had a kit to stay on the enemy champion. The problem i had is that even if i made 3 camps gank, i still stay behind, but that maybe is because i'm bad. I will be happy to see a kled jungle if you find one (?

[@JorgeGonzalez-dy7uk]

Try farming in an open lane to get skarrl back when somebody backs up.

[@gyerchak6872]

theres small Streamer and Singed one Trick whos really fast jumped from Master to Challanger using Chemtank in Jungle, hes named Socialist Singed, on last Video Jankos mentioned him even when he played Singed Jungle once

[@gyerchak6872]

His ingame nick is Socialist Slnged on euw

this is pretty dope hoping for more of these off meta jgs that we haven't seen before.

Hmmm I go to plat this week I might int with this taric in rank for sure

[@lelokeksyt1215]

just played that... i just completely babysat my adc so he had 2 support... we stomped them so fucking hard

[@Ian-rz6dm]

I played this a lot last season, probably better with the new tear item now as well.

[@thealover]

I've been watching since the midst of season 10 when you were uploading coaching VODs. Could it be worth it to go back and watch those again or has things changed too much?

[@virkayugameplay]

lots of translatable principles tbh... just adjust item/rune/clear talk but most fundamentals hold true. That was no sustainable for me though given the work load + streaming. All those coaching vods are on patreon now like Veigar V2 does because it helps keep this channel, main channel, patreon all separate but working together... plus I don't get burnt out as much lol

[@craqueboule]

How do I play Taric Jungle ? 10:56 > Base ARAM's way.

[@DylanWarcraft]

At 6:10 the ward doesn't give vision because the control ward denies it

[@seppedeman6457]

wrong btw. Hitting a ward thats cancelled out by a pink reveals the area for a bit. thats why you shouldnt hit a ward on drakepit when ure doing drake and have a pink

[@sadifn7943]

He runs Manaflow Band and Transcendence secondary.

[@jorgeandrespalma2134]

Is chemotank overall better than the new item that provides + damage to enemies that you've cc'd?

[@virkayugameplay]

yes

[@Za_Phantom]

10:02 this moment was so sad he had to say it in a different language LOL

[@mlk4life]

taric has been able to jungle since before his remake. he was actually stronger before the remake with old items.

[@auronit927]

I LOVE THIS

[@simplexusgames174]

Did Taric Jungle in Season 11 already with Press the Attack...but hes very mana hungry

Hey ! Would it be possible to say the spell order ?

[@jdodge80]

love the off meta vids.

[@rgnoc]

This just reminds me of Old Mordekaiser jungle rip

[@TheIshShow1]

Old Taric used to be able to do this easily too

[@paftaq526]

i love pta, conq or new lethal tempo ad taric jg

[@AkshayCShetty]

Been trying this for almost a month now. The problem is that you are too reliant on your team for damage & in Gold / Silver you always get trash teams.

[@jorgeandrespalma2134]

You also tend to get only teammates that go full damage champions, so you being the tank/support helps them to be more consistent on that

[@XirlioTLLXHR]

This pick has been meta for season 11, not sure how people missed it and why you're saying this was not rewarded in season 11.

[@virkayugameplay]

because I don't think you know what META is... it was literally never meta. I literally also said in the video you could play it in Season 11 with PTA and gave reference to it lol

[@XirlioTLLXHR]

@@virkayugameplay It was being played mostly with glacial augment, chemtank, frozen heart. I should know, I played it myself when I found out how busted it is. People were sleeping on it back then and they are still sleeping on the pick now. Can't really say it's meta if you don't recognize it was meta last season as well since the same people that played the pick last season play it now as well ... Heck, there was a whole reddit section on Taric jungle and I'm pretty sure it's still going.

[@XirlioTLLXHR]

@@virkayugameplay As a side note, it was also heavily used by duo picks Taric/Yi and Taric/Tryndamere both jungle and mid for funnel strats.

[@prometeusz5016]

So my beloved Panth jg can be a nice pick as gank machine?

[@virkayugameplay]

Not really. Taric scales better and farms faster at this point lol

Honestly I don’t quite know why you don’t do late invade blue against taric jungle. Especially when this is a master/challenger gameplay. Kindred should know better. And should have dodged that E in level 3 fight.

[@patrickpasson7247]

Don't try this on low level solo Q no one will understand your kit 5 matches in all matches no one aimed shielded stuns or just run away, you ulti and your team refuses to fight, you stun your top lane backs off leaving you to die, Augment proc your team only looks stupid without reacting :D Just some examples Unless you play with a friend or on higher elo Taric will not function not because of the champ not because of you but not a lot of ppl know his kit !!!!

[@virkayugameplay]

yes after this game had a huge sad streak but his top is nasty

[@seanboglio3605]

Taric has been jungling for many seasons... bad take on "season 12 allowed this". Also taric can go for drakes at lvl 4 and solo them with a cloth armor os anything you have no idea what you are saying. Taric soloes most champions if he has the resources problem is he is easily kited. Tric wins Yasuo, Lee sin, Viego, sejuani... actually kindred and graves are the worst matchups around. This entire enemy team is ranged/dashy... that's why he is "avoiding" stuff. But again... you didn't study the subject very well. Check out Lightrocket2 I'm suprised you didn't mention him in the beggining.
