I went Taric Top recently as well after not playing Taric at Top for like slightly over a season. I went AP variant against a Rengar first game. I just played to my pace against Rengar by gettin Lucky Pick and Philo Stone first. I literally just made him waste efforts and made him engage me. As soon as he comes to attack me, I stunned him and Shattered on him and hit him once or twice. My God the damage was ridiculous.

But when I went against a Riven and a Shen respectively after the first game, I lost both lanes cos of their Shield Skills. I would say now after the nerfs to his kit, Taric is now a situational Counter Pick for Top, against Champs that don't have Shield Skills and a hard CC skill. You can't go all out on ur lane opponent until ur performance is stabilised with a gear or 2 as well since unlike Jungle or Support Taric, Top Taric has a mediocre Early Game from my recent experience. Just poke and harrass and get back to farming. Get kills pre lvl 6 only when the opponent makes a mistake. Until then, try to not seek a kill till ur geared and ur lvl 6+.

Top Taric now takes some skill to play thoroughly. :l
