Taric has consistently underperformed in Runeterra Reforged, so we took some bold steps to ensure his viability-but we simply went too far in conjunction with the changes made to our gem knight’s Invoker friends. “From worst to first” is the story of the Taric Invoker comp. We’re reverting his previous AD ratio buff and nerfing his Mana as well, but his ability will remain uninterruptible. But our Runaan's/Deadeye interaction bugfix did a lot more for Akshan than we expected, resulting in an exceptionally high power ceiling from the extra Mana gained via Deadeye procs.
We initially thought Akshan needed compensation buffs in 13.14 due to nerfing the interaction between his ability and attack items like Guinsoo’s Rageblade, Runaan’s Hurricane, etc.
