Riot, about the Pool Party Taric Chromas....
So with the new Pool Party skins on the PBE, you're releasing new Chromas for the older skins. I just saw 4 of the Taric ones. I main Taric, and he's got a special place in my heart, so I always want him to look good. The first two: https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8GcdTI5iwEQ/W05RmWfdtqI/AAAAAAABDPo/c-3gTRizPXgyu1x3qJ0cTQwQ3vzT7MsSwCLcBGAs/s1600/44005.png https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gC1cf0-I4EQ/W05RmdZNGCI/AAAAAAABDPs/vB6mI5IkvTMfceXshJrR9uyqlpNLug8yACLcBGAs/s1600/44006.png These look fantastic. They follow a bright, vivid color scheme, something we'd expect from the man who loves gems and jewels, as these jewel tones pop and add flair.
Then there's the other two. https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UiKbawM8SUE/W05Rmg7c-iI/AAAAAAABDPw/kJHLEEyvuloZSZRWTno8x-HU3b9LCp02ACLcBGAs/s1600/44008.png This white, it's ok. I like the coat, but the monochrome shorts and flip flops combo, both being a stale gray, is just bad. It doesn't fit Taric's color schemes at all, and it comes across and dull and unexciting. The reds/whites/golds screams "I work for a yacht!" which is super fun - the gray just screams in agony. Make the shorts gold or red, or make some sort of pattern on them to give them style, just anything to break away from the boringness of the gray. And the platinum blue hair, it also is horrible. For starters, it clashes horribly with the reds and golds. I'd rather he either be a ginger or go back to blonde with this chroma, because that hair color just clashes so badly with the coat, and that's definitely not something Taric would be caught dead doing. Even his tacky outfit, Fifth Age, still has class and refinement - and while it's over the top and campy, it still matches and has a fashionable touch.

The jacket kinda works, in an aviator jacket kinda way, but that particular avocado green, with that tomato red, with that baby sky blue just looks atrocious all together. Coupled with the overall uber darkness of the outfit, and the horrible long gray hair, this Chroma is just by all counts the worst. Taric should NEVER have gray hair. It makes him look incredibly old. If you must go with a black rock like Obsidian for a guy who values gems and jewels, give him pitch black hair, and then rethink that color scheme. It's much too dark, and very off the path on what Taric should be wearing. He's a bright, vivid kind of guy, and even when he goes dark, like in Bloodstone, he's still fashionable and offsets the darkness with sharp reds and bright jewel tones that compliment each other. This Chroma is just awful, and needs to go back and get it's colors fixed. If you insist on keeping the gray jacket, give him green or blue shorts. I'd say replace the red in the megaphone hammer and his float with black, or something else entirely, because that horrible red color is just holding the entire outfit hostage. Please change this Chroma. Taric deserves to be fashionable, and just because he works on the beach doesn't mean he should be a shipwreck.
