#Taric

His passive is cool, though it is a melee version of Lucian's. His Q is basically a Teemo shroom, charge-related heal. His W is the only real, unique ability left on his kit. His E is Bard's binding mixed with Jhin's snare. And his R is Bard's ultimate. Not to mention his audio is complete and utter garbage and removes Taric's uniqueness as a gentle gem savior. He now looks like Fabio and sounds like the most average, basic man you could have grabbed out of a Calvin Klein catalogue.

It's almost as if Riot is plateauing at stale ideas, changing lore and concepts to change an identity entirely, and removing any aspect of the game that isn't childish (i.e. Grave's cigar, Cho'Gath's tobacco and alcohol, Akali's blood in the splash). On top of that, they've all tuned their ears to a different frequency than that of the very players who enjoy the game.

I wish writing on the boards didn't make me feel like it would go unseen and that all player opinions are largely ignored. If anyone has played this game for more than 4 minutes, you'll find out that this is the most hostile environment in a community game, yet alcohol and tobacco (which it is rated for) are being removed from champions which alters a keystone of their identity.
