Riot·Apr 19, 2016·3 votes·39,973 views

Taric’s just finished buffing his armor, warming up his voice and conditioning his award-winning hair, meaning his update is all set for life in the live lane! We’ve updated the former gem knight with an entirely new kit, look, and story—check out the links for the full story behind his moves and update, or scroll down for a glimpse at his updated model in action!

We’re bundling Taric with all of his skins and ~~forming an awesome boyband~~ reducing the price to celebrate his update! His Outrageous bundle runs up at 1796 RP (20% off) - or 2264 RP if you need the champ himself - lasts through April 25 and includes the following:

Taric
Emerald Taric
Armor of the Fifth Age Taric
Bloodstone Taric

Hello, Ezreals', look at your support, now back to me, now back at your support, now back to me. Sadly, they isn’t me, but if they stopped using unmanly supports and switched to The Shield of Valoran, they could decimate like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a lane with the man your support could decimate like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an gem with the heals you love. Look again,the enemies are now dazzled. Anything is possible when your support decimates like The Shield of Valoran and not unmanly supports. I’m on the ban list item 3070 (hey.. ay.. ay.. yay.. hey)

Hello Braums', how are you? Fantastic! Do Braums' look like me? No! Can he decimate like me? Yes! Should they choose The Shield of Valoran? I don’t know! Do you like the screen of victory? Do you want the kit that can decimate like he can make the enemies surrender in the dream victory he built for you with his own fabulous hands? Of course you do! Tower Dive – into the best lane of your life. So Braums' should you decimate like an The Shield of Valoran? You tell me! (hey.. ay.. ay.. yay.. hey) item 3010

Even though my favorite color is green, and I got Emerald out of a Hextech reroll, I can't help but feel compelled to play Hot Pink Fuzzy Leg Warmers Taric.

I got emrald Taric because he looks like legolas.

My friend was playing against AotFA Taric and said "Hey Taric, were you born with it or was it Gaybelline?" I died.

6.8 may be the Taric rework, but 6.9 will be the TRULY outrageous update.

Taric is my main, the FIRST champ I attained Mastery 5 with, so I'm so ready that ready doesn't even describe it.

Today is my birthday as well, but I don't know how that's ironic unless you're Taric's child or something? Or would that still just be a coincidence? I don't know.

Goes to play the new Taric - remembers I have a hextech chest to open - opens it - gets Armor of the Fifth Age Taric - "THIS IS MY DESTINY!!!"

I really think that his ult should have been some sort of revive. Like, the whole animation you have currently over a corpse on the rift. Could have the % health restored scale with his levels too. You have plenty of "invulnerable" ults. Would have been something unique, and essentially return an old summoner spell.

Dig the update though. Nicely done.

FlashFighter212Apr 20, 20162 votes

you know how broken that would be, I mean, zilean's "revive" has him cast it over a champ thats about to die, giving an instant revive to someone while they are on their death cooldown would be..... hm..... that would actually be cool.
