@Riot Taric's great, but can this be the last death-prevention ult?

tl;dr With new Taric we now have 8 champs with death prevention in their kit now (Allows player to survive for an extended portion of time to do more in a teamfight or just get away). Taric's rework is otherwise fabulous, but after him Riot should stop making these types of ults for awhile, since they're getting pretty old. (Especially since Tahm, Ekko, new Taric, and Kindred are all recent so it feels even more repetitive)

And yes, I did include Yorick. We will never forget you

Edit: Without Aniv Zac and Aatrox we're up to 10, may add Vlad too.

I don't know, I actually think Taric shouldn't have it either. Invulnerability without restriction is not a healthy gameplay mechanic. It has no counterplay and allows you to too easily negate others' attempts to make plays without them being able to do anything about it. It might feel great for the person using the invincibility or undyingness, but it feels awful for the enemy who is literally incapable of doing anything other than trying to run away. Other forms of protection can be worked around - shields overcome, heals undone, stasis at least allows others to reposition around it - but there's nothing you can do against invulnerability except wait for it to expire and hope the invulnerable person doesn't kill you before then.

It seems like invulnerability is something Riot should be trying to take out of kits and out of the game, rather than adding more of it.

I was really hoping they were going to keep the damage area buff on his ult. I'm not sure why, but I absolutely loved it that way.
