Taric's Japanese VO
Riot's released VO for all the current champ's including Taric's. While I do think they would do 2 sets of recordings (one for his current lines and another for his upcoming update) I don't think they'd use a different voice actor for both sets. They wouldn't want to present his character as one thing to only change it drastically soon(TM) after.
Okay I'm going to be one of those guys and try and ring out every of info I can get from this bit of info but the problem is that I don't know any Japanese and I'm not that versed in Japanese pop culture. From comparing tone of voice I can tell he lost his velvety tone but I'm not sure if he still sounds hammy in Japanese. My first impression is that they made him a bit more serious.
Anyone wanna help a guy out and provided what insight they can? If you wanna listen here's the VO:
