Taric need to Worked on.....again.
Let be honest here....by how they label him as fighter/support is really just false advertising. Hes no longer a fighter even trying to go AP tank, he deals lame damage. And as far as supporting goes. All the supports kick Taric butt. like allot.
By the resent design he is build centered to be a armor tank champ. With a not bad stun ability. Here's the problem Most of the time Taric would be he only tanky one in the team but as soon as one kind of magic damage hits him he yells out in pain and faint upon magic damage arrival. You can build resist, but then you start to realize your abilities are not scaling well anymore. So you decide to be ap but that also been configured and now his scaling is halved for all abilities. his heals understandable can become powerful at time but having "Dazzle" at 0.4 ap ratio at close range and having 0.2 ap ratio scaling at longer distant is a bit too low. You think that's bad let look at shatter. What once to be something you could depend on damaging enemies now turn into a thing you cast so you can prox your passive to get other skills up. let be honest the active on it is not effective at all, and most of that problem is having ap amplifiers taken out from that ability. His ult shouldn't be halved it's original original ratio. Maybe by little but not this much.
The biggest problem is being that this champ being worked around his passive which would have been great, if it wasn't screwed up. the cool down idea is great but i just don't like it having no base damage and on top of that having the thing only scaling on armor for damage. The ratio to that one scales 0.2 of your armor. which again when you look at all your other skill feel like this champ feels like a one trick pony and the only person he can face without dieing is against an adc but as soon as that person has magic damage for example, the passive of miss fortune impure shot, taric dies. and theirs a handful of adc having magic damage in the ad scale spells.
There's so many problem with taric but all involve 2 issue. AP scaling and armor scaling abilities. I get someone wanted to have design him to be armor based but this is also what killing taric. It's good idea in theory but in action not as effective.
please pay Taric some respect and give him kit that solve these problem.
