@Riot Taric's Visual/Gameplay Update Questions

Hello!

Let me start by saying I know you guys get a lot of negativity on these boards regarding patches and changes and I just want to say I love this game. I think you guys are doing a great job. Bard looks like an awesome champion and I can't wait to play him.

All of that aside, I was hoping to maybe get a peek at what's going on with our favorite OUTRAGEOUS gem knight. I know you guys can't release too much information on Visual/Kit Updates, but I just had a few quick questions that I wanted to ask.

The direction you're taking with Taric, I'm sure he will still maintain the outrageous, fabulous Gem Knight/Tank fantasy that he currently has, but do you think you're going to keep him as the aura/bursty champion he currently is? Or do you have a different approach for him? I feel like currently he shines in giving his allies lots of armor, and some bonus AD/AP and some really good healing. He can also do some good burst damage for a support tank with his R and W, especially when he follows up with his AAs afterward. (I find building a makes his auto attacks amazing and gives them more utility with the slow)

Thematically I think he's perfect, but his stature leaves more to be desired. I played a game last night as Taric with a Ezreal as my lane partner and I found Ezreal's model was bulkier and actually taller than Taric. Taric's pretty small when compared to a lot of other champions. Will this be changed in his visual update? He's not very threatening when he's not much bigger than Teemo! LOL I feel like he should be similar to Garen or Darius in terms of size and bulk, but still look outrageous.

Thanks for taking the time to read this!
