Hidden power is exactly what you should aim to avoid, not focus on. It's also the reason why Taric isn't allowed to be strong right now: his armor and AD/AP auras are hard to see and appreciate, but are massively powerful, especially in teamfights. If anything, you should by trying to find ways to remove that hidden power and make Taric's strength highly visible. Right now your version of Taric is, as PrimusMobileVzla said, a walking aura bot, and one that has five inbuilt auras at once. Your Taric brings a massive amount of power without gameplay, and would have to have so much power diluted through his hard-to-see, buff-everything aura, that he'd feel insanely weak, despite having massive team-wide stat abuse potential. This is the exact opposite of the direction you should be taking for a Taric rework, or any rework for that matter.
