Annie WAS nerfed. Several times. Range on the ult shortened. Stun duration shortened. And ontop of that she's a very short ranged mage and has to lengthy setup with obvious visuals when her stun is up so that's already sorted.

She was never reworked either. Sona was reworked for the similar problems that Taric currently has.

I compared it to old Sion for a reason.

You don't want it to change because you like that. It's never stopped any of the other changes.

The CDR on Taric's gemcraft is great. Assuming you don't run out of mana which you certainly will until you can afford not just one but a couple flat mana items.

You know how Ryze's build reworks his spell spamming with natural CDR and lets him scale from the mana he has to build? Taric USED to have that but then it got changed for a armor shred build which USED to be great until it got nerfed and now it's just okay but he still needs mana, he still needs armor, and he still wants CDR. And he needs all of it.

This makes his build inflexible because that's his only max usage. He can't build AP for damage which happens to be his not armor shredding ratios (and ontop of that he has magic output so the lack of scaling always hurts to some level), he has to build armor for damage even if the enemy is dealing magic resistance and his passive triggers after a spell cast which isn't effective because of how high the costs are and how unlikely you will face someone will just sit there and let you toggle spells between auto attacks.

I suppose accomdating people who can't aim should be acknowledged but personally I'd just rather have my gem knight back who can do damage again. I can land a skillshot. I can do a lot of things but It's much harder to do it with my hands tied around my back.
