I started my response with what is the best way to play taric imo, you responded by saying that you're only interested in "tanky" taric. Fine, whatever floats your boat (it was in that sense).

I'll just say this, the reason I used riven as an example of great synergy, is that in 2 games where I had riven and I played taric, in both of these games I lost lane and the rivens lost their lanes. However, we managed to win eventually because with 2 of the cheapest  and most altruistic  items in the game (redemption and solari), we were able to make a comeback because the rivens could fight senseless, at first ending up with a sliver of health, but still alive and rolling. I wonder if in the same scenarios, I would have been to help the rivens the same way I did without the huge heal redemption provides, without the bonus it provides to my heals and shields, and the fact that I'm already starved in gold.
