Taric late game is outstanding but he never reachs it since his early is vladimir tier and his mid is meh
He needs 40% cooldown and maxed out abilitys to use them to there full effectiveness With his passive his abilitys are almost always up if you are using it correctly its sort of like rivens passive e>r>w>aa>q>aa Then repeat e>aa>w>aa>q>aa until you die or they die
KidKaiser2 votesplay him top. get a competent damage jungler. rush tiamat. and open a new fken rift in top lane.
EndlessSorcerer1 votesNever tried Hydra. I'd typically get Iceborn Gauntlet first, followed by Sunfire Cape, Locket of the Iron Solari, Randuin's Omen, and Thornmail in whatever order I desired.
Too Ton1 votesI thought he falls off even despite his armor buff to teammates. One stun falls off compared to braum or leona aoe. Even thresh or blitz outscale.

His strength was that all of his basic abilitys had low cooldowns if you used your passive correctly a heal a stun and a armor debuff every 2~5 seconds

Doesn't help at all that they CRATERED that ability. It used to scale off of AP, and was absolutely broken as hell, then they changed it to armor and it's kinda bad.
EndlessSorcerer1 votesI think part of the issue is that people are accustomed to support champions having strong peel, CC, or poke and expect the same when playing Taric. Personally, I find that once Taric gets a couple items into his build (i.e. Iceborn Gauntlet) he can play as a bruiser reasonably well while providing buffs to his team, but he's not as strong as other supports at initiating or peeling. Instead of providing CC to help his team, he acts as a beefy wall whose damage cannot be ignored for a prolonged period of time. After you get some CDR, you can pretty much indefinitely keep an ability off cooldown and cast it as long as you have mana.
And his early game isn't horribly weak. He isn't really great at setting up early plays against the enemy bot lane, but he's pretty good at punishing/discouraging aggression and sustaining himself and his ally. It can be a bit troublesome against poke comps, but it's not bad against champions who need to engage on you or your ADC.
As a support, I typically get:
