In reworking Taric, consider this

Meserion··5 votes·619 views

Taric is basically a direct reference to World of Warcraft Paladins from the Burning Crusade expansion. Don't believe me? His skin "Armor of the 5th Age" is referring to the teir 5 armor set for paladins, guess what it's name is? Crystalforge. Proof? here we go: Paladin Teir 5 wiki If you checked that link and are still not sure, I'll say his kit is also in reference to paladins too.

Paladin's heal and his Q heals, paladins used to give an armor aura called "Devotion Aura" Taric's W gives and armor aura, the active effect is unique. Paladins have a targeted stun called "Hammer of Justice", Taric has a point click stun on his E; his ult is actually fairly unique. His passive is in direct reference to Paladin seal from that expansion where they would empower melee attacks, which is exactly what it does, its called Gemcraft which is basically warcraft minus the war part :P.

Basically his kit and design is a walking reference to paladins, yes even the so-called girly man meme is in refence to how blizzard felt about paladins back in the day, their class color was pink!


With all that in mind, if and when you rework Taric, I'd ask you to preserve these iconic features and references that ![Taric](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.20.1/img/champion/Taric.png)  has. The memories he sparks and nostalgia of a clunky but fun playstyle has me playing him time and again, and I'd really appreciate if you guys, Riot thats you :). could preserve his kit design in some fashion. Yes he is not the greatest in the current meta, but he is by no means broken, he still a blast to play just takes practice. I would rather he not be hyper mobile because that would be weird.

He doesn't fit in this meta? Have you met my level 5 mastery item 3401 item 3110 item 3075 item 3222 item 3026 Taric? Just play ranked and when you see the enemy pick an add other than Sivir, Tristana, Lucian, or. Caitlyn, play Taric, especially into Vayne. He counters Vayne harder than Maokai.

he has his moment to be sure, but Riot has said that a rework for Taric is in the works, I wanted to make PSA and a plea to Riot to preserve the historical significance of his kit and design.

As long as his recommended Build path is;

Essential Items: item 1027 item 1028 item 3067 Offensive Items: item 3056 item 3751 Defensive Items: item 3110 item 3512

Offtopic: Vayne was added slightly before Diablo 3 relase and was made to resemble hunter/bow class. (I've played D3 very shortly so I don't remember that class name exactly..)

I remember how everyone was scared "D3 will steal all players from all games, Lol will go bancrupt, yadda yadda"

Fun times :D
