the truth of the matter is that taric will always be a niche support. I mainly go him on someone like a kogmaw and caitlyn that just needs some baby sitting until they reach level 8 and can start melting people. That's his best pick potential. If he's going up against more ap heavy teams, its much wiser to go for braum or someone else that has more ap protection.

These changes needed to happen tho, it basically boiled taric down to a point and click stun and a armor decreaser while your Q is a budget nami heal that would take up to 4 heals at level 3 to heal from half health even with windspeaker. Then in preseason 6 we got taric tops as a awnser to the mordes and darius' that spawned because of the juggernaut update.

It went like this: Darius did his full combo of spells and taric would be only at a quarter of health to which taric healed back, stunned him hit the W, and ulted with ignite to kill him and put that dumbass 8 year old on tilt. (rengars were running amuck too back then so that led to a fed taric whose only weakness was the midlaner if he was ap, and the support if he was ap.)

but yeah manamune and iceborn guantlet (with a rod of ages) is just a given, if you go taric and not have Tear on first back your gonna regret it. The damage is nice but not totally broken unless your top.
