Some visibility to a very nice concept for Taric's rework
I already posted this concept here (http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/a7ulBkBM-so-what-do-you-guys-wanna-do-with-taric-part-ii-pics-or-it-didnt-happen?comment=0121 ), though that thread is quite old and does not get much visibility.
I stumbled upon this concept for Taric, and i really really like it, i think it gets very close to where I'd like Taric to go with his rework: his armor is imponing and heavy, without being bulky or "heavy". It makes him look powerful while still being attractive and delicate. It reminds me of Leona's armor, more than Garen's or Darius'. I also like the design of the shield a lot (less the hammer). In his topic, Ironstylus mentioned marvelverse-Thor as a good example for armor that looks "modern", and I think this one hits the spot.
I'm not very fond of the asymmetric Tiara, though I think he would look cool with a tiara (some users prefered a tiara-less version).
I hope the rework of our beloved gem knight goes into this direction, it's a very good balance between powerful, protective, fabulous, modern and cool, while still retaining all his distinctive traits (gems, hammer/shield, long hair, handsome, armored).
