Besides Graves, Vi and Diana since Riot listed those 3 in the chaminion update page. I brain stormed and found a few I think would benefit greatly from Taric being their teammate but want some feed back from all of you in case I overlooked someone.

nobody can die in the ult, and after, nobody on your team can die. Perfect set up for Taric Ult.

Yes, the ultimates do work well with one another. Theye are still susceptible to CC though, but if used under an enemy tower can be really difficult to deal with.
Kindred is also nimble so Taric can springboard his dazzle casts off Kindred to get some unique angles on his dazzle. Or use Kindred to reach far away low how allies and heal from afar since Taric is immobile. And the small shield on bastion helps out Kindred soak up some harassment.

Taric the Gay1 votesKind of. I think Taric benefits more from this pairing since the shield on Mordekaiser gives Taric a speed boost and a damaging aura. Mordekaiser does use his health bar to cast abilities so a heal is doubly effective on him. The invulnerability would help Mordekaiser get off his 3rd empowered auto attack but as a Taric player that seems like a major misuse of my ultimate. That's the extent I see for the synergy.
Illâoi Evê Siôn1 votesTaric's heal combined with Morde's heal give the two a lot of sustain in lane.
Taric's W gives Morde a shield (sometimes) and increased Armor, allowing Mordekaiser to buy damage items easier early on.
Taric's E stuns enemies and makes it easier for Morde to hit his 2nd and 3rd Q on enemies in the early game (before he has Rylai's).
Taric's R makes Morde invulnerable long enough for him to heal back up and fill his shield. It also gives him enough time for his abilities to be back up (like Zhonia's).
I think they will be awesome together.

This will work come late game but I think that as a duo bot lane their lack of range will be a major deficit that they may not be able to overcome. Duo top may work out but I really think they don't have enough early game synergy since both Taric and Mordekaiser are item dependent champions.
TheSlogs1 votesHim, himself, and he! (I hate bot lane)
But seriously I think his strongest synergy is going to come from Kalista. If you have a friend that plays a good Kalista, it will be really fun.
Late game is going to have a lot of decisions to make for Taric.Do you want to attach yourself to someone in the back line so that you can protect them, or do you want to go with someone else in the front line to make them tankier and have more AoE stun?

Taric and Kalista, while double bonded, is actually not the best combination. Kalista has to be super nimble and is constantly bouncing around, which means your set ups for the ult and Dazzle will be tricky to do, since she relies heavily on constantly being in motion.
Big Lincoln1 votesDiving fighters, engage tanks and juggernauts
Taric will work best with high HP teammates since he massively boosts their EHP with Bastion shield and armor
Gives juggernauts that and the value of having CC on them, makes for great synergy in comps that favor lots of brawling

JayHog19921 votesLet's put it this way, at least the new Taric has play potentials. The old one, the flashiest of plays you'd ever get is actually use the Flash summoner's spell. XD

The flashiest play I ever did was flash over a wall into contested Baron pit, Ult, stun the enemy jungler, smite steal the Baron then 1v3 the enemy Skarner, Ashe and Janna. I killed Ashe and Janna but Skarner killed me before my team killed him. We won that game :)
JayHog19921 votesGuess that was quite something. :P
Taric the Gay1 votesGuess that was quite something. :P
People underestimate Taric. That is probably my favorite thing I enjoy about him is that he is so deceptively powerful but it is not common knowledge of how powerful he is. I will miss that most in the transition from old to new Taric.
JayHog19921 votesReminds me an aram match I had yesterday as Taric, my team completely died, our nexus exposed and I have a Master Yi chasing me... I just went...
"Wait a minute! I'm TARIC!"
So I turned around, slowly destroyed Yi and then nearly killed Ziggs before his team finished the nexus...
Sometimes I forget that Taric isn't THAT weak.

You're right, he is not. He is a very strong late game scaling champion. But he needs his items to do so properly, which as a support he will always be behind in gold. So it is counter productive to be an item dependent support since they are generally the poorest player on their team. Taric won't hit a power spike until he buys sheen and won't start showing a noticeable presence until Iceborn Gauntlet. That's one sucks thing about being Taric, you are slow and immobile and you have no sticking power until you complete your 1st or 2nd item.
In ARAM though you are a very reliable initiator for your team since your dazzle is undodgeable. So he is great at picking off anyone who strays too far granted your teammates follow up. Control of the relics is what I end up doing in the early stages of ARAM. Come late game I just Stonewall the enemy and chain link cc and focus on peeling for my back liners.
JayHog19921 votesGlad you replied, just a few minutes had another game of aram and I was wrecking their shits, only downside was them having an AP mage which was cho'gath, but everyone else was AD. Even the enemy Ezreal, to which I happily "secured him" as a kill. XD
And with lots of cdr, I could almost 1v5 them while I had thornmail and iceborn.
Funniest thing about that match is that I stepped on the enemy caitlyn's trap on purpose while having thornmail to see if she'd take the bait. I had thornmail and she was low...
I nearly died laughing when she did it and gave me the kill. XD

Once you get the items Taric starts to snowball :)
JayHog19921 votesPretty much, my mistake was taking windspeaker's blessing instead of grasp of the undying, otherwise I would had been unstopable.

Yeah, you gotta be selfish with those keystones. Uncharacteristic of Taric's personality but if Taric dies then he cannot heal his ally anyway so that's the mentality I have with it. It helps trades better too.
JayHog19921 votesYep, besides sometime I see more damage from the keystone itself than from the burst. Since it steals a percentage of enemy's HP based on the percentage of your HP.

Their kits work really well together.
MunchCrunchLunch1 votessivir. becuase combo of both ults is somewhat gonna be dangerous if timed efficiently.
kog maw. well because that 2.5 seconds is enough to kill the team with kogles. shields and heals while having peel is just wet dreams for kog maw players. i dont play kog but i'd imagine
also ezreal but thats not because of ingame things

Maybe if he is my jungler. Until he hits 6 Malphite is pretty bland to play with. So the enemy bot lane would have the upper hand until you hit 6.
3TWarrior1 votesactually, with 2 forms of harrass and double face of the mountain line items, getting to level 6 is quite easy for a dual-bruiser lane
heck, taric could evev keep them alive indefinitely and malphite has a free anti-poke every 10 seconds
probably the only laner that would have a chance of shutting them down is blitzcrank, but then again, that is helping malphite or taric to engage against an AD squishy and burst reliant champion setup, where if it's the wrong target, taric can stun them to interrupt blitz's combo and if it's taric....you're not going ot kill taric...ever

I think any high mobile champ can work well due to how the stun works.
