Taric

Now I for one, am not going to complain about Taric's current artwork for his default Champion skin, I personally like it and I haven't seen much in the way of complaint elsewhere. But after seeing the recent updates to base champion skins I'm a little disappointed. I for one love and own all of Taric's skins. Emerald Taric, understandable, it's Legacy. But you can currently purchase Armor of the 5th Age.

For those of you who haven't seen it, attachment included. (I mean who even sees a Taric anymore much less his skin? Amirite?) now you have to agree with me. Isn't it.... just wrong? I mean... agh. Is Taric's skin even that tan? And what is with that background? Even I do more detail than that in my artwork. I'm not critiquing the art itself, I am just putting it on par and comparing to skin splash art that are currently coming out, for the same price. I would suggest just changing it to the Chinese skin splash, but his hair is dirty blonde. What? Both splashes aren't even accurate. And it's not just 5th age that really needs it. I understand that. But 5th age came out in in 2010.

August 2010. It's been over 4 years. Riot, you haven't even released a skin for Taric since before Ahri came out, who is getting a splash update. Like... seriously. I'm not saying to stop just doing default skins, I just want you to keep the people who actually pay and support your company in mind.

I know a majority of you are thinking why am I not discussing the need for a Taric gameplay rework, but it's early, and really, I just want to bring up that my husbando looks like this still.

He'd be right at home in a pride parade.

Always has, Always will.

Right there with Ezreal at his side.

He really could use a Debonair skin himself, it seems like it might suit him.

I wouldn't mind that, he is pretty suave, but what would they do for his hammer and shield? I sort of like the gem thing they have going on with him for his skins. I found them really unique till they pulled Skarner out of some dark place. But at least he has a mount now.

Arcade Hecarim would make a lovely mount too.

I believe that he is in qeue for rework. when that happnes he will get update of his art work.

As he is now I see no reason for him to get updated splash if he is barely played.

But I love 5th Age taric and I used to play him, when he was playable.

He still is very playable. If anything he just needs some minor tweaks, much like they did with his passive a few years ago. Though I saw it as more of a hindrance. He's situational but a heavy AD team on either end and he's a pretty solid pick. He just lacks major utility like Leona, Braum, and Nami.

He's also a pretty humorous top laner against something like Riven or Fiora.
