If Riot overhauls Taric's voice acting
They had better include unique dialogue between Taric and Ezreal. Multiple dialogue options... I expect nothing less.

What about 
& 
?
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.
I hope he keeps the line Truly Truly Truly Outrageous
/? 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.
