Thank you Riot, for DESTROYING my favourite top laner...

Old Taric was actually fun to play in top lane because he meant that you did not have to play an all in damage based AD Carry. He could go even with pretty much everyone and was a great pick against high AD damage bruisers like Irelia and Fiora. However the rework has TOTALLY destroyed his solo lane performance.

His kit is just so lackluster now and feels like a totally different champion. What happened to "Radiance", that ult was a great, unique buff that game everyone additional resistances and Riot just destroyed that and replaced it with a timed invulnerability that is only useful in certain situations due to the timed nature of it. Its just so... BORING. A few champions already have invulnerability and he would never need it as a toplaner.

I bet you would never removed Jax's R, would you and replace it with something so lackluster. Taric is an alright support but just isn't that rewarding or fun anymore. His targeted stun made him a unique champion that was good in various different situations and it seems like Riot removed that in order to make it easier for ADC's to just pick him off.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of my favourite top-laner and anti-assassin pick against mobility-damage spammers like Zed. I am going to refund him because he just is not worth the effort of learning in his present state and his heal is actually more pathetic then his original one. He could heal himself for double the amount and protect his ADC for longer. Now he just feels... well generic and boring.

I doubt he's popular enough to get another rework like Ryze did. I think its digusting that this games balance is dictated by what makes Riot the most money and its making League less fun to play. I don't play Soraka anymore either because of boring (more dependent on others) kit since her rework. Even Zilean feels less impactful and less fun since his rework.

If they rework Karma, I think I will just drop league completely. Its not worth it.

People need to shut up about Karma. Shes fine, your q has the potential to deal more dmg then Final Spark.

Some champions are meant to be good in one role. Taric is an amazing support, and hes meant to be a support, so of course hes not good top anymore.

well I'd say you're in like the 0.0002% of the community who thinks old Taric was more fun/impactful than new Taric. I mean that old ult was the DEFINITION of boring. I really don't get what makes a champ feel unique to you. Taric has abilities like no other support at the moment. You must just really like point and click zero interaction abilities like old Zil bombs and old Taric stun. You're perfectly entitled to your opinions of course, but I'm just saying Taric and Zilean reworks are considered a success by most so they definitely aren't in line for any changes anytime soon.

Old Top Taric was stupid fun what are you talking about. When Fiora was broke af I'd pick Taric and a full armor rune page, walk into lane with like 80 armor at level 1 and just cs while spamming /laugh while she all ins me. Pop a Q and a pot and im back to healthy XD
