Cheat Sheet:

• I'm curious whether Magical Footwear is worth sacrificing your ability to get off better roams early game? If I were as much a numbers guy as our friendly Vapora is, I'd be stating that your second set of secondaries have a much higher pickrate and a higher winrate as well.
• Your runes in the cheat sheet do not match the runes in your guide.
• I'm curious what your thoughts are on Gargoyle Stoneplate, I know it's being rushed on tank supports that specialize in all-ins, but I guess Taric would be closer to Rakan than to all-n supports so he doesn't really need it. Just wanted to know your thoughts on this to be honest.
• Your cheat sheet can do a better job at helping guide readers with itemization, i.e. which early game option SHOULD I be getting? What should my build order look like?
• You could include Exhaust in the cheat sheet as well, considering it's in the guide.

Summoner Spells:

• I'm wondering if you would ever take Heal if your adc ends up taking Teleport or Cleanse.

Skill Sequence:

• "Note: If you are facing an AP-heavy team, max Starlight's Touch second instead since you will not get much usage out of Bastion's bonus armor." It's a good idea to include the second skill order in the cheat sheet as well with a note saying to take this skill order against heavy AP teams.

Ultimate Usage:

• This isn't feedback but I just wanted to say that seeing old Aatrox in here has made me slightly sad :{

Warding:

• The images is just a bit outdated, they have included a new bush at the start of season 10 which can be worth warding when contesting objectives

I would recommend to have some notes that explains your decision for the runes (and also summoner spells if you want to do them) as I’m sure there’s going to be people that won’t have enough time to check through the entire guide but wants to find some information about why they’re picking the runes that you recommend. Maybe they are preparing right for a game and is in need of information or they’re in a rush and won’t have time to scroll through it to find what they need.

I love the way you’ve structured your builds and how you’ve showcased your item choices, really well done. However, I feel like the “Early Options” / “Teamfight Power” and “Survival Options” lack some explanation for buying them, like for example what are they useful for, what can they bring to the table in comparison to other items. Why is Kindlegem an early option and why should you get it? Why specifically is Locket of the Iron Solari or Redemption teamfight power options and why wouldn’t an item like Adaptive Helm be in that category? I also think you could make your notes a bit more in-depth, not saying that they have to be insanely long, they are already simple and really good but maybe you can fit in something else too, who knows.

Maybe some quick notes for the ability sequence as well, just briefly explain why you would need to max Dazzle first or why Starlight's Touch would be your last max. Why do you get E first and not W, or even Q, like why does Dazzle become such an important starting ability & first maxing ability for Taric ?

I quite like your threats, though there are no descriptions for them. I get that they are only there to be in the tiers you’ve ordered, and that seems to be fine. Maybe there are more matchups that can fit into there, I would assume there are more adcs/supps than the 25 you’ve mentioned. What I don’t get is why you have a description on Ezreal that isn’t consistent with the others, but hey it makes sense if he’s the only major threat. As for the synergies, I would recommend either to make full descriptions of each adc or to remove it entirely. It’s not that useful for readers to scroll to those synergies and just see “See matchups for more info etc.” ‘cause again with people having a rush and everything. I also know that you have an incredibly detailed and great synergy section inside the guide, so this one becomes rather unnecessary to have.

I’ve been wondering, all of the images for the text used in the table of contents as well as the plus and minus images in the pros & cons, why is there a black background behind only those but the others are fine. Wouldn’t it look better visually to have those as the others to match with the blue background, instead of having that black one? To be fair, it’s not really that big of an issue and it still looks good with it but I feel like it would really enhance the visual display of those sections if the black background weren’t there. If the background was the old legacy black style then this would be completely fine, but now it’s the blue one so it doesn’t make much sense to me.

I could roughly say the same for the “Guardian” banner image, the black background there, isn’t too visible but you can clearly tell it’s there. If it isn’t possible to remove those then that’s understandable (I suck with images as well xd) but otherwise it’d really look nice if they were changeable in some way. Since your other visuals are exactly like that.

And also again with the gameplay information or objectives if not even teamfights and those sections, the table of contents and also the titles like “The First Two Minutes” also have that black background in them. These are the ones that you can really clearly see and kinda ruins some of the feeling a bit, if those were removed then it would look 10x better I’m completely sure.

Other than that the presentation is great. I don’t have to be a newbie of the site or a long-standing veteran/author to say that this is by far, one if not the best guide of the site. The visuals are something just clearly amazing and it must have taken time to establish it. I absolutely love the bubble images that are used throughout the entire guide to be able to refer back to the amazing Pool Party skin that Taric has in his possession, beautiful job on that and especially the summoner spell images, those are the best. Even images like the clocks you used for “Too Early” / “Too Late” is just something completely simple but makes the visual appearance so much better. Not to mention the fact that you have some amazing content and it kinda makes me a bit jealous because I want to improve my own guides content to be like this one, so great job on that part L3gis.

Runes

I have one main concern with the runes. You mention that Inspiration secondary is Taric’s “most reliable secondary tree”. If it’s now the most reliable tree to use, why would Precision be a secondary option. If you can (or maybe should) pick precision into some matchups or like you mentioned “favorable” matchups, then inspiration would never be a reliable secondary tree then because you’re not going for that in a favorable matchup. Maybe saying that inspiration will be your most used secondary tree or a tree to pick in hard/difficult matchups would make more sense since you already have favorable ones for the precision one. Do get what I’m trying to get here?
Otherwise the runes are pretty good, you break up each rune really well and explain exactly what it can do for you and also why you’ll need to pick it. The stat shard options are also good, showing the most viable option at the first with an explanation of why, while also having the three extra options if the first one doesn’t cut it.


Summoner Spells

You say in your Ignite description that the spell “renders the enemy adc’s heal is nigh useless”, which doesn’t make sense. Shouldn’t it be “renders the enemy adc’s heal useless (or nigh useless), don’t understand why the “Is” is in there to be honest.

You mention and really describes when and why exhaust is a good pick, however the spell is not in mentioned or explained in your cheat sheet, how come? You say that it’s a great tool for preventing burst, if that’s the case then it should be an option in the cheat sheet just like the ignite right? (with a note maybe for it too, to make it more clear maybe)

Apart from that, the spell section is great, neatly formatted and visuals are on point.

Items

Not really going to go much into items as Psi already covered the problematic ones in his review and the others are already fine. This is an astonishing section btw, I had to just say that.


Abilities / Sequence

Maybe it’s good to mention in the Bravado description that the heal can be used on all allies, meaning that you can heal more targets than just one. Also fitting in some kind of reason as to why knowing this would help you in games would also be pretty beneficial (or mention it in the already existing description you have where you say that the heal gets better with each rank).

You already briefly covered that in your W explanation were a linking partner can also get better heals to cover more area, which again refers back to my previous comment. :p

I bet you could make more gifs to use for the Dazzle description and also even make some that would fit for the other descriptions like for example when they can be used to their fullest potential. Though that would take time and games to get the perfect one, I’m sure it could happen.

The rest is fine, neat descriptions and the sequence is also good enough for people to know why you’re maxing the abilities that is recommended.


General Gameplay & The Last Chapters

I feel like as Psi said in his review, the “Example Abilities you can counter” has some amazing use of tables in it and it doesn’t feel like it should be in a spoiler. Maybe taking them out of it and putting in a center tag to make them align with the rest could make it look way better than what it is. Though the video can probably stay in the spoiler, it’s pretty debatable whether it’s worth to take it out. Psi also mentioned one of the videos being broken, it’s the one in the middle in the spoiler so that should either be fixed or get removed.

Same goes with the “Revives and invincibility to combo with”, take it out of the spoiler, it’s such a neat invention with tables that it feels so bad to have it hidden inside of a spoiler rather than showing it in all its glory. Most people won’t even check spoilers, which makes it worse as well.

I don’t need to go into much depth for the synergies, they are so good and there’s not much to say about it. I adore the Jhin poem though, really cute addition.

As for matchups, there are 47 known support matchups to my knowledge (including niche picks) and I’m sure that you may be able to find some more to put into there and talk about, since you’ve already covered most known supports already. Maybe there is even some niche picks (or picks you’ve forgotten to mention) that isn’t in there that could be worth to talk about. I bring this up since you mention Sion as a support pick so there may be more.

Same goes with the adcs, maybe you could find some dangerous adcs to keep on the lookout, maybe ones like the new Aphelios. If that isn’t the case then that section is all fine.

There’s not much more to say, the rest of the content is perfect and the formatting is already on another level, well done. :)

I don’t have to be a genius to know that you’ve definitely deserved all of the contest wins that you have in your collection. This is just such a beautiful guide that I’m almost lost for words.

I'm sure that there is a few other things that you can look to improve with your guide, but where you stand as of right now, you've got a really solid guide. I'm going to let you digest my input, and maybe make some changes. If you want me to revisit your guide at some later point in time, then it'd be my pleasure. Just reply if you feel like it or post on the Guide Review Application Thread.

1. I'm a big fan of the Presence of Mind page and I think it could have a place as a secondary rune page in your cheatsheet. You don't have a ton of options in the guide, so fitting in one alternative rune page in the cheatsheet seems easy enough.
   
   
2. You strike a nice balance of comprehensiveness and conciseness when it comes to your suggested items. Very clean cheatsheet. :)
   
   
3. Do you not run out of mana without PoM or Tear? I haven't played too much Taric, but he's a bit of a mana hog and I'm surprised Glacial Shroud is enough mana on its own.

1. Don't really know what to say here other than basically every section is super good. You have a strong grasp of how to break up topics and use colors and subheaders to make any part of the guide feel easily readable no matter how long it is.
   
   
2. Small touches like the matching colored icons for Pros/Cons, the colored border around your rune page screenshot, and custom graphics for subheaders and summoner icons make the guide feel really unique, and a step above just "functional".
   
   
3. The "Secondary Paths" and "Rune Shards" subheaders are shockingly bland. They almost seem like placeholders. In most other guides I'd say they work fine, but in your guide everything else looks so much better that I really think you should replace them with something more visually appealing, so they don't stand out for the wrong reasons.
   
   
4. "Standard Setup," "Vs. Mixed Damage," "Magic Begone!" and "Don't Worry, We Scale" are less of an issue but could maybe use something to make them a little more interesting. Maybe just finding a nice color for them would be enough.
   
   
5. Your matchups chapter has decent formatting, but it's a bit basic compared to other parts of your guides. If you're looking for an area to work on, this has a lot of potential for improvement beyond "functional" to "functional and stylish" ;)
   
   
6. The Full Gameplay video under your Gameplay chapter could be moved from here to the top of your guide. You can embed the video at the top where your stream is, and it'll show there whenever your stream is offline.
   
   
7. This chapter would also greatly benefit from images or gifs that demonstrate some of the gameplay stuff you're talking about. You do have some YouTube videos in spoilers, but they don't work as well as stuff like the gifs in your Abilities section or the Warding images you have in the following chapter.
   
   
8. Team Fights is another chapter that would greatly benefit from some gif examples. Again, you have some YouTube videos here but a lot of people won't click them.

1. Adaptive Helm's description could use a mention for damage-over-time mages like Teemo and Brand, who are also hard-countered by the item. Liandry's Torment is another effect to watch out for, since it's much less effective against Adaptive.
   
   
2. Very nice Abilities section. I like the gameplay gifs that show the abilities in action. I'd love to see more of those if possible. The Ability Rotation gif is very helpful as well.
   
   
3. For what it's worth, E>Q>W seems more popular at the moment. I think Presence of Mind's buff to your mana pool helps you gain enough mana to spam Q more liberally. Maybe try that skill order & rune combination if you haven't yet.
   
   
4. Broken video under the Video Demonstrations spoiler in your Ultimate Usage chapter.
   
   
5. The tables in your "Examples: Abilities You Can Counter" spoiler are super cool and seems like useful information. It's kind of shame to hide that content in a spoiler in my opinion. Same with some of the later spoilers. I get the urge to hide YT videos since they can look a little tacky in a guide but I feel like these tables aren't big enough to require them to be hidden by default.
   
   
6. I say it basically every time I talk about this guide, but the synergies section is really great and I love the Jhin poem.
