In my opinion, Taric doesn't only need a visual update, (Pizza Feet OP), but he also needs a bit of a rework or at least another skin, Taric is one of the older forgotten champs and i believe bringing some light to him will cause him to be played a bit more. I'm one of the 3 Taric mains in league im sure, so can we make this happen?
Why even bother making a post like this? In the last week IronStylus has given us an update on the progress of Taric's update. They are working on him, in fact they are in the progress of his rework.
Status: Still in pre-production.
We've been meeting with our Narrative bros and they've got some neat ideas for him. Some deeper and more out-there thoughts that might really create some new fertile ground for him while still keeping him familiar. It's an interesting place to be.
I restarted his concept ideation to reflect some of those ideas and come up with some options that span the requirements of the game, what players' expectations of Taric are and also pad for the opportunity for more stories to be told about him in the future. We're experimenting with some new directions but so far they've yielded some very interesting results. So much so that I and another artist are spinning in a direction that's a little tangential from what has been thought of and discussed early on. The basic challenge is how to make Taric not just a dude in fancy armor, but a special sorta paladin for League. That's where we're at now.
His kit remains in production, my hope is that we'll figure out a solid visual direction for him early in the year that will compliment the new kit. THOUGH ANYTHING COULD CHANGE, YA KNOW.

You're pretty much beating on a dead horse here. Why are you making a poll for a rework when Riot is already giving you what you want? Please before spamming taric headshots actually take some time to look and see if anybody else has posted about him. It was on Surrender @ 20 and on the boards. Don't "Rito why u no update Taric yet' the boards when Riot has already told you exactly why his update hasn't gone through yet. They're updating us, be patient.
Relax yourself brotha im just putting my voice out there, but thanks for stomping on my post Buzz Killington
