They had better include unique dialogue between Taric and Ezreal. Multiple dialogue options... I expect nothing less.

If? Taric is getting a Sion/Poppy level overhaul. I'd be upset if they didn't overhaul his voice acting. He will be fine, and everyone will love it. What matters is whether or not they opt to play into his gay undercurrent that's been in his lore for years; If they do (and I hope they do, I'm pining for an openly gay Champ), I can almost assume we'll see some Ezreal lines.

But my original voice is like velvet where I can caress my Ezreal erotically whispering sweet nothings in his ear. I just hope that the new update sounds the same but has a wider dialogue than what it currently has. And I am Taric the Gay. It is confirmed that I be gay.

Pantheon / Taric ? My curiosity has been piqued.

Well, I think he will be announced next week after the next patch, so we will know for sure in another 1-3 weeks tops.

I'm torn.

Like a Rioter and Mark Hamill once said, not fleshing out every little personal detail about characters helps them be fantasy characters. Having the champs not have defined sexualities makes it easier for people to imagine whatever they want to imagine.

HOWEVER..... two things

Multiple champs have flirts built in, and at least one that i know of (Illaoi) has very explicit straight flirting. She is canon not a lesbian. If they can make an exception and define her sexuality somewhat, they can do it for another champ.
Having an openly gay champ would be pretty rad, not gonna lie. It would be nice to see. There isnt any explicit gay or bi representation in this game yet, and a lot of us play this game, more than people probably realize.

So although im not hoping for explicit lines or lore saying he's gay or bi, i would not mind it in the least bit. As long as he's not straight, i'll be happy.

Actually, one more thing: i dont get the Taric & Ezreal shipping. Is it because Ezreal is a good ADC partner to Taric? I know its a fan favorite, but i just dont see how they'll work that in. Granted, this is a Sion-level rework, and his original backstory wasnt the best, and it seems they might be placing him at Mount Targon now, so maybe they could work it out. Iunno, whatever they do end up doing with the lore and interactions i just want it to be tasteful and well-written.

Its pretty clear that Ezreal is a hyper-effeminate bottom while Taric is clearly a power top. Ezreal is openly gay in league cannon (or at least bi) as indicated by the red side shop keeper's (who is Ezreals uncle) quote to Ezreal when he inquires about Ezreals relationship/infatuation with the "Crownguard" i.e. Garen. So since Ezreal is unofficially-officially gay and Taric is... truely truely outrageous it makes sense that they would be in a relationship.

Dude the crowngaurd is in reference to lux mate. You know, cause we thought they were the same person at first...

Nope its defiantly Garen, otherwise it would mean Ezreal is strait which is clearly false.

It's funny, you say this, yet the Ezreal/Lux relationship is actually repeatedly mentioned throughout league history, but never an Ezreal/Taric one.

plus here is the actual quote... "Is it true what I've heard about you and Miss Crownguard... hmm?"

jdizzle367Apr 1, 20162 votes

Oh so just because Garen doesn't identify by with his "biological" gender and the uncle is sensitive to that, Ezreal has to be strait and in a relationship with lux. We are approaching an age of sexual enlightenment and people like you are holding us back, in 40 years the history books will meantion people like you and the children won't be able to comprehend your ignorance. Let Garen be the beautiful star guardian princess she was meant to be.

The Ezreal/Taric relationship began way back in season 1 when Taric + Ezreal was a common bot lane combo. Then Taric's Armor of the Fifth Age skin got released. Pretty boy Ezreal and Tough Guy pink Taric were frequently the skins of choice and that led people to believe that they were in fact a couple. Ezreal has been smitten with me ever since. And I am not a fan of making Taric a Mt. Targon champion simply because Ezreal is in Demacia and Taric is currently in Demacia so it is fitting that for the relationship to work they be in the same area code. Long distance relationships suck. Not looking forward to that part of the change.

I'm pretty sure at one point Iron Stylus (as word of god) said that Diana was a Lesbian. He did her art, not her lore, but has spoken about how her story is one of being told you are one thing and finding out you are another. At the very least he has been supportive of this view.
