Taric's good against poke lanes because he sustains himself and his lane partner simultaneously. With the introduction of Targon's, sustaining should be easier for Taric than ever before. Gonna poke him and his lane partner? Enjoy trying that, he really won't care. As Taric I much more fear getting engaged on without E ready than the enemies trying to whittle me and my carry down.

In my opinion, though, the most notable buff is the armor shred on his W having a scaling now. That. is. huge. Pick up a Frozen Heart? That's pretty much a Brutaliser's worth of armor reduction for your team. Which you can keep up on a single target inevitably for as long as you can stick to them. Now that you can afford to go tanky, even within the support role, Taric can actually quite happily tango with the enemy front line, and say he gets to 200 armor (not really difficult to do either)... 50 armor shred for your AD carry or other AD characters to rip through the enemy frontline quickly.

I'm genuinely really impressed with what they did with him though.
