Taric's New Kit Should Include True...

ARMOR. Let his ultimate give him and his allies True Armor for a duration, or implement it elsewhere in his kit. I mean he IS supposed to be the armor guy right? This would be a unique mechanic that wouldn't be necessarily toxic unlike %HP true damage, and if anything can be tied to a meaningful cooldown or mechanic so that it doesn't feel overbearing.

True Armor: Taric empowers his allies with Outrageous Onyx, granting them True Armor for X seconds. True Armor effectively negates all Armor Penetration and reduction effects, and thus allies cannot have their armor reduced by any means for the duration. True damage is also negated and will only do physical damage for the duration that the effect is active, effectively countering "problem" champions such as .

Thoughts? I feel like this could be an interesting addition.

Sounds outrageously strong. Like bruisers solo diving double turrets and winning the game without having to deal with champions strong.

This would be too strong an ability. True Damage shouldn't be capable of being negated/blocked at all due to the nature it holds. The prevention of armor-shredding/piercing is fine, but the alteration/negation of true damage would be too much.

Plus, until we completely see the changes of the marksmen update, this could potentially make AD-based characters completely useless for the entire match.

i feel like it could work but riot would have to be careful how they do it, because it could make taric too strong to the point that his existance makes champs like vayne dar and fio completely unviable. but its an interesting idea that i hope they include

i would be good i thought it would be good i though of true armor some time ago too but i dont really think taric 'needs' a rework his w needs to effect a larger range everyone else as been getting increased range and increased damage and he fell so far behind if any think they can just make his w larger put his e on his w give him a new e i was thinking an aura that steals % of stats from enemies and you can toggle which stats you steal and maybe give a reduce amount to give to allies but im not big on that part.

People are acting like this TRUE ARMOR lasts forever but in reality it could have a very short duration like 3/5/7 seconds.

Why negate armor pen? I get why people hate true damage, but why armor pen?
