Earlier formats

• Soraka, Nami and Taric had strong early games and could scale with healing augments if their partner could deal damage.¹² 8x2 duos
• Taric's gameplay involved spamming abilities, aiming E and autoattacking; control mages and teams with hard crowd control countered him, while he was dominant as a tank or bruiser.¹³¹⁴ 8x2 duos
• Taric had a good game with Bandlepipes alongside Ardent.¹⁵ 8x2 duos
• With Infernal Conduit, hitting an enemy with E and then using Q puts Q's cooldown at 15 seconds instead of the usual 3 seconds.¹⁶ 8x2 duos
• With Protein Shake, a healing augment and Circle of Death, Taric could reset Q on minions and stay hard to kill while damaging nearby opponents.¹⁷ 8x2 duos

Taric's Q base healing changed from 20 to 25 and his R duration from 1.75 to 2 seconds in patch 25.14.¹¹ 8x2 duos

• Taric's W sometimes did not need to be recast before a fight, even when its tooltip remained visible.¹⁸ 8x2 duos
