New Taric seems like a strictly bluer version of Leona

Jokes aside, I think riot nailed it. He might not be perfectly balanced right now, but he brings a really cool playstyle to the table. As someone who plays a lot of Orianna, I'm probably going to pick him up as my tank support pick for matchups where Sona isn't good.

Assuming I ever get to queue as my main mid/support roles ever again. :(
