Whoever does not have at least Mastery 4 on Taric have no rights to say his rework is bad

As I'm about to see a starting rise on the complains on Taric's new rework, the situation is getting similar to how people claimed they love Dominion, only the fact that they have less than 10 games in it.

And this is where my point comes in. People who are casual Taric players instead of mains does not have a say that his rework would "ruin" him. Like, at what grounds do you think your views matter when you literally have no gameplay experience with him.

Imo, the new Taric rework will most likely be able to shine upon his gracious gem once more. I'm putting my hopes on him a lot on the future patch where the Update comes in.

I didn't play much Taric. I hardly ever play top lane any more since the advent of dynamic queue. I can queue up as support practically every game now, so I don't need a bigger champion pool than Lux Lulu Morgana Sona Karma Lissandra Shen .

When I did play top lane, having Taric as a pocket pick into Riven mains who always ruined my fun was extremely useful. It meant that I didn't have to waste a ban on Riven. Without Taric in his current incarnation, I don't have that any more. It means I'll have to waste a ban on Riven if I want to top lane. I have one of these situations mid lane too -- my pick of Galio into Leblanc . Leblanc gives me fits every time I step into mid lane -- unless I'm on Galio. If I'm on Galio, I don't feed her, she doesn't snowball, I get farmed, and I get to build item 3174 item 3001 into her and ruin her day. Any other mid laner? I get wrecked, she gets fed, and I go on to lose when Leblanc can get a triple with just WR. If Galio is ever changed to where I can't pick him into Leblanc and win, I can't mid lane any more.

Same with Taric. The Taric change takes away the one thing I know I can pick into any RIven, regardless of her skill level, and not feed. I won't win lane and she'll get a good deal of farm and an advantage in lane, but I won't feed her. Now? I have no idea how Taric into Riven will play.

This is why the Taric rework makes me sad -- because I lose my deep pocket pick in the event I find myself top lane against a Riven. Taric in my champion pool is like my handgun -- I really don't want to have to shoot a home invader, but if there is a home invader, I can go for that gun and know it's going to be there, and I can know that I won't die that day because I have my handgun. I don't want to see Riven picked if I'm top lane. But if I do see that Riven pick, I know I have Taric that I can pick into her. Now, I don't have that any more. Riot stole my handgun.
