(Homeland) - Taric is currently experiencing a bug reminiscent of the previous season's issue with Lee Sin.
In the recent conclusion of Teamfight Tactics (TFT) seasons 8 and 8.5, Lee Sin emerged as one of the most formidable defensive champions despite his modest cost of 2 gold. In season 8, Lee Sin boasted affiliations with 3 classes: Fighter - Lover - Superhero, with his selected ability being Safeguard. This combination endowed Lee Sin with substantial health, the capacity to generate virtual armor upon spellcasting, and a reliable shield.
During that period, numerous players noticed that by positioning 2 Lee Sins adjacent to each other on the game board and equipping them with a full array of defensive items, the duo not only absorbed all incoming damage but also proved impervious to defeat. Even the most potent enemy skills failed to penetrate the virtual armor and health of Lee Sin.
This situation raised concerns, particularly due to the potential synergy with the Superhero lineup, which could drastically augment the team's power. With sufficient damage output, opponents could be vanquished without relying on subsequent skill usage. Consequently, Riot was compelled to swiftly address and acknowledge the severity of this bug, as it significantly impacted players.
However, this issue has resurfaced in the new TFT season, this time afflicting the champion Taric. In TFT season 9, Lee Sin has been omitted from the roster, replaced instead by Taric, who emerges as an exceptionally high-quality defensive champion. Taric in season 9 is affiliated with 3 classes: Targon, Battle Mage, and Supreme Sorcerer. All three affiliations provide healing capabilities and offer the creation of immensely potent shields.
Players have discovered that when placing 2 Tarics side by side on the board, equipped with full defensive items, these two champions completely negate any damage after activating their shields. Moreover, all allied champions also do not lose a single drop of health even when opponents use their normal skills.
Of course, after the armor and shield amount deplete, Taric returns to normal. However, as shown in the footage, opponents couldn't wait for Taric to be vulnerable to damage. With a bug capable of completely changing the course of the game like this, it's clearly an undesirable situation. Perhaps, Riot needs to consider making appropriate adjustments soon.
