Taric is fun to use in the "Legend of the Poro King" game mode. I've played most games in this game with him, and he can be quite the powerhouse. It's especially great once you start tanking the 2 last turrets with such ease, then heal it off with Imbue, so your team can focus on other things such as taking said turrets or getting kills safely. In fact, last game I unintentionally carried the game with the score of 12/5/23 (the Talon in my team had the same kill score, but died much more often).

I start with Glacial Shroud, Boots and 2 health Potions. I prioritize getting IBG as soon as possible, while building towards Randuin's Omen and Ninja Tabi. Afterwards, I build according to the enemy team, but I usually get Locket of Iron Solari to benefit the rest of my team (Taric may be tanky as heck, but his role as a support still stands !). In this mode / ARAM, the runes are the same I use for mages in general (I have no specific runes for Taric himself), and I use the masteries I got for Garen (9/21/0).
