**OUTRAGEOUS **

Looks a little more space-y and tech-y then I expected.

If you have spotted my hammer, that only means one thing

You're excited for the premiere of my rework

How rude...

Lucky for you, I've been aching to show it off for a long time

As a reward, I will make your last living moments...

Taric ...ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS. Taric

If they made a Mettaton-based skin for Taric, I'd die a happy man.

Soma VermillionMar 15, 20161 votes

OH! Are you promoting my brand?

Jeddy017Mar 15, 20161 votes

More like this is the beginning of the end of a long journey.A long & truly,truly outrageous journey.

Captain AishiMar 15, 20165 votes

Taric rumored to be an aspect of Targon... so i'm guessing he's the aspect of time.... Hammertime! Thus the need for a new hammer!

WarlordTimMar 15, 20161 votes

Can't touch dis.

ZedexMar 15, 20162 votes

Taric's rework was turned into Yasuo's bro, Yaric. He's a wanderer too, confirmed.

You should probably just spill the beans now, we know.

Would you say that it's, magical?

RiotReav3Mar 16, 20164 votes

I would say its.....Outrageous!

Just to be clear, this is his current hammer!

Hammer time?

Solidair3Mar 15, 201619 votes

I think that's his old hammer, maybe updated slightly as a way of honoring old Taric.

Though I guess it could look just like his new one.

NaharaMar 15, 20162 votes

It is indeed the look of his current, at the time of this writing, hammer. Just with an updated model and textures.

I kinda hope it stays in the shop. Maybe make Taric's Hammer a new icon for the item 3022 .

SukishooMar 15, 20168 votes

Yeah, that's the CURRENT hammer.

NeameanMar 15, 20163 votes

Riot be like

We hear you want something along the line of Traditional skin to retain and help remember the champ before being reworked so we decided to rework and update Taric's hammer and added to the shopkeeper's shop. Oh and just to be clear he won't be having a Traditional skin thank you for reading.

Sincerely Rito

Well... The current Taric IS from the space... so, it makes sense to the "tech-y"

But this easter makes me wonder in the current Taric will be canon in the new lore or what.

Gotta remember new Taric is an Aspect so hey who knows?

The new Taric WILL BE an Aspect*. But the hammer that we see on the picture is from the Current Taric.

Stars ShaperMar 15, 20162 votes

I KNEW IT!

Taric is going to be a Real Targonian (might be a regal one too :3).

Also that death voiceover...

AlbuquerqueMar 15, 20162 votes

That's Taric's current hammer.

It's in the store barrel as a way of symbolizing that he (and Riot) is getting rid of it, and replacing it with a new weapon, most likely with a very different design direction that's less cartoon-y.

Actually, he might not have a hammer at all in his rework. With Poppy they majorly down-played her shield and instead put emphasis on her hammer, so changing a champions weapon themes isn't beyond what they're willing to do. I'm not sure how they would go about changing his weapon dynamics, but it's definitely possible.

Can we replace frozen mallet with tarics hammer?

CosmicWatersMar 15, 20161 votes

when are the shopkeepers getting vo's?

AkwaMar 15, 20161 votes

I think i was the only one who truly enjoyed playing taric, even played him in rank. I will miss him, but i hopd they keep his "gems are truly outrageous"

MasterkerfuffleMar 15, 20161 votes

I will never forgive Riot if they nerf Gems.

DuelpowerMar 15, 20161 votes

I hope the new taric is orange like the sun and from targon.

MrWasjigMar 15, 20161 votes

It's exactly the same.

Not to say the hype isn't real. But it's the same hammer he's always had, take a second look [slayer-jinx-wink]

AdonnaMar 15, 20161 votes

idk I have little faith in VUs and reworks at this point. I think the only decent one was gp, maybe fiora (kit-wise): morde, sion, mf (lol that's a joke fyi), all meh. Can't wait to see how they trash poor triangle-feet Taric. :(

The DeckownerMar 15, 20161 votes

most of the items in the ship is removed.

jdizzle367Mar 15, 20161 votes

Thats his old hammer... its just visually updated a bit.

Samflash3Mar 16, 20161 votes

Taric no longer uses a hammer

ABlueQuakerMar 16, 20161 votes

That is literally just his hammer as it is now. My theory is that his new one will look vastly different and this addition to the shop is just there as a memento.

TalllMar 16, 20161 votes

lmao that's his old one man, they dedicate old items that have been retired usually to be decorated at the shop keepers. Kinda like when you use /joke on tahm kench he barfs up the old "Heart of Gold" item that was removed, then eats it up again really fast

CoffeeDaveMar 17, 20161 votes

It looks like they're retiring another weapon. When Graves lost his gun in the Bildgewater event, he got a brand new gun (and kit) soon after. Could be the same thing here with Taric.
