I swear to god, Riot will smoke weed, and make Taric top, because it's "healthy".

Who else bets this? I can imagine this.

Riot CertainlyT: Hello summoners, we have decided to change Taric in a extremely healthy way, that we see fit. We allow him to now outplay opponents extremely well with newfound mobility, while support his team. Our balance team is very proud of the product. We decided to change Taric's passive completely, into a quadruple auto attack stack, that reduces the opponent's armor by 5% each hit, and the final hit is 10%, so 25% in total, and the armor stolen is given to teammates nearby until the opponent's armor is back to normal.

We believe this is an extremely healthy change for Taric top, even though his teammates won't be near him, we decided that we wanted a duo top to change the meta. Also, we decided to put Yorick as a new jungle monster for diversity! HYPE TRAIN! So, you guys are probably excited about that.

We put Taric at top lane because we feel this is a very healthy change, and also fuck you, but, who cares, you'll get all the Taric skins anyway, because $. But anyways, we changed Taric's Q into a stun, skillshot, that applies his passive, and will reduce cooldown if hit, and will heal Taric for 30% damage dealt, with a 0.1:1, and 0.7:1 HP, and AD ratio. This is a very simple mechanic we added in in order to allow Taric to make plays.

Taric's W is Gem Sweep. Passive 1: Taric will kill any minion instantly if it is below 100, on a 6 second cooldown. Passive 2: The power of gems will give Taric a dash when he is lower then 35% of his MAX HP. Taric is ranged. This ability has no cooldown, as long as Taric still has gems. This is completely balanced, and is extremely healthy. ACTIVE: Taric's next basic attack will knock him back, knockup the enemy, apply two passive stacks, and will allow him to teleport to a nearby enemy 1000 units away. This ability is on a 25 second cooldown.

Taric's E is Gem Roar. Taric throws gems at a target, making the target feared, slowed, knocked up, stunned, polymorphed into a gem, invulnerable, all passive stacks applied, losing 5% current HP, knocked back, knocked up again, resets on kills and assists, resets on minion kill, costs no mana if resets, not a skillshot, and gives Taric 30% movement speed.

We decided that Taric's gems are too strong, so we didn't give Taric an ultimate, because well, fuck you. Taric is now extremely healthy, and we hope the feedback on the PBE is great like we expected! Also, if the feedback isn't good, we'll release him anyways. Also, we are never nerfing Vayne, please stop with the threads, she is extremely balanced.
