Taric rework ladys and gents.

All i know is that its going to be big. Personally I think I have played Taric to much, because I know everything about the champ now whether its his passive which is a armor based sheen that gives him 1 sec cd reduction to his other abilitys when activated(really good for dmg), his q that heals him always, his w that gives a Huge armor aura, his e the auto lock stun that does more dmg the closer you are (which gives him a huge 1v1 strength), and lastly his ultimate which is a huge chunk of ap dmg that gives a ad and ap aura. Other than knowing him, I understand his flaw and his strengths inside of League such as...

  • First off, his model is gross. (looking at you bloodstone). All of his skins but bloodstone (which is his weakest skin) are just recolors (that fit mind you, because of GEMS GEMS GEMS) so they could use some particles for his w,e (stun), and his ult.

-Second, people find his lore boring ( I personally like it ), but I can understand why they would want to change it to make him more interesting than he currently is. (its just scary seeing this rework you know, because he could be completely different).

-Third, his artwork is outdated (except 5th age leg warmers).

-Fourth, his kit is bland. IT is, and the only way to make Taric good is read in between the lines. Most people see thats he is ap even though he gets all of his strength from armor thus making him very weak to ap which usually forces a Taric to ap res which weakens his dmg output and ad def, and that's how he is balanced.

-Fifth, Taric is the only supp that is a fighter,yet is tanky without hp (maybe the only if you don't include Tham). What I mean is that Taric deals fairly large amounts damage (especially if you get item 3025 and 40% cdr mixed with gemcraft passive) , and thats what makes him a weird tanky burst type of champ that can force a 1v1 or lockdown a target without dying like a assassin or mage would.

-Sixth, He is sadly taken for a joke pick most of the time (which is why they are reworking him), saying how theres Leona or Nautilus for better lockdown cc, or Soraka and Sona for heals. (then there's the Ezreal x Taric gay jokes)

REAL QUICK. This is my little wishlist that rito will keep on him. I hope that doesn't change is his joke, his w for the armor shred and aura, his calm style of speech, and how he is left handed with his weapon. They probly will change everything if its sion level, but a main could hope right.

Let us (very few) Taric mains hope for the best. I believe rito will do the best they can.

i think Taric's current kit is rather bland and uninteresting. he's also a champion that doesn't feel particularly strong right now, and it's kind of hard to mess up when it comes to improving a champion who's in such a bad state. overall, i feel his rework will make him feel more interesting, fun, and interactive at the very least.

Rep said that he would still be outrageous, that he would still be armour based (although W is probably going to be changed. Auras are inherently unreadable) and that he would still be reliable.

That is all I can remember.
