Riot's new game mode is being experienced by many gamers, and this champion currently has the highest win rate.
Alongside exciting new mechanics and updates for League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics, in the latter half of 2023, Riot introduced a completely new game mode called the Arena. This is a combined mode, with a format of 2v2v2v2 and the presence of Technology Cores from TFT. Additionally, this mode also serves to promote the Spirit Blossom skins. Among them, Samira is the latest champion to join the group of champions with the Supreme skins.
Despite being a mode created for entertainment and to promote skins, the Arena has garnered a lot of attention from gamers as well as famous KOLs and pro players. Even Faker, during his recovery time, played quite a few matches of this mode. It can be said that the Arena mode has brought a breath of fresh air to the League of Legends gaming community, who still follow domestic league matches while TFT has not yet had a mid-season update.
Even though it's for entertainment, players also want guides to win in this new mode. Especially, some champions are showing outstanding strength in the Arena and are highly favored. According to Blitz.gg's statistics, after many days since its release, Taric is the only champion currently with an average win rate of over 40% and also the highest win rate in Riot's new game mode.
The strength of the Protector lies in being a reliable partner for many champions, from mid-lane assassins with high damage to beefy Fighters or Marksmen needing fast movement speed. Taric can also provide crowd control, allowing damage-oriented champions (like Jax or Vayne) to comfortably dive into the enemy team and deal damage.
Taric also serves as a tanky champion with shielding abilities, healing for allies, and providing damage immunity with Cosmic Radiance. In summary, Taric is considered the top-tier Support champion in the current Arena mode due to the overwhelming benefits he provides. Of course, because of this, Taric is also one of the top 3 most banned champions in the Arena mode currently, alongside two other formidable choices, Shaco and Heimerdinger.
