@RiotRepertoir No special interactions between Taric and Ezreal?

Come on, I'm a little disappointing you missed this riot, we have most of the jokes involved within characters as a part of their core identity, such as Soraka with the banana and the like. It would be really nice if Taric at least had some interaction with Ezreal, just to keep on with the nice jokes, no? Hell it doesn't even have to be direct flirting, Ezreal is pretty dashing on his own, I'm certain Taric would recognize beauty naturally, right? :)

Just a simple joke, nothing harmful!

The jokes they had were probably in bad taste.

By what Riot said about VO lines in the past, it's not that they didn't THINK of a few. It's whether or not the lines work well overall.

THey could have came up with 3-5 lines for a Taric and Ez taunt or joke, but they probably all missed the bar in the end.

Remember, Jhin has interactions with Garen, Zed, and Sona, but none for Vi.

It wasn't because Vi was just skipped, it's because they didn't have good jokes with her in mind. We can't ALL be like Tahm Kench, right?

That's actually something I hadn't thought of, I am surprised they couldn't come up for an Ezreal quote still (I do agree the missing interaction between Vi and Jhin was pretty strange, but the argument you gave me is rather accurate) I'm surprised they could come up with one for Varus or Tahm though...and not Ezreal, I mean if there's one handsome man in league (Other than Jayce who is surprisingly missing an interaction with Taric as well) is Ezreal, we know Taric boy's all about looks too!

If you listen to the Diana, Ashe and Jinx lines Taric sounds to be flirting with them. I think Riot steered Taric away from being gay at all. I think he is heterosexual. Personally I find most of his special interactions to be very narcissistic. For someone who admires the beauty of the universe he seems to care more about his appearance then anything. His willowy-wispy voice is actually very lame. I was really hoping he would feel more masculine. Man in heavy gem encrusted armor, wielding a mace. Instead it is a metrosexual, campy heterosexual. I guess if anything it is more of an insult to homosexuality. It feels like a straight mans idea of what camp is. It certainly doesn't put effeminate men in a good light. It makes them seem vain and self absorbed... the exact opposite of his new bio.

most jokes with taric and ez are homo jokes. actually ALL jokes regarding taric and ezreal are homo jokes... to have a special interaction between the two it would also most likely be a homo joke and riot isnt willing to cross that line yet.
