Where's the visual love for Taric?
So Mordekaiser is getting a quick TU for for the new rift, what about everyone's favorite gem knight? Will we be seeing His full VU soon enough so it isn't necessary or what?

Working on it. Collected a shit-ton of info from the community.
He's really complex. You have no idea how many different opinions on him exist since there's literally nothing tangible for people to latch onto in his base form and it all becomes what psychological manifestations individuals project upon him. That's an interesting place to be.
We're still in early ideation for him but have probably two decent directions. I've taken a lot of notes from the community and continue to have some really in-depth discussions with people internally. My hope is to get a concept locked down in the early months of 2015, but we'll see.
Just leaving this here, one of the few inspirations
The thing that scares me about moving away from the "flamboyant" theme is that I don't wanna see Taric become a Male Leona, or a Garen, or any other kind of generic "weapon, heavy armour and shield" knight. Taric is the gem knight. Things are "Outrageous" and "Brilliant". He shines, dazzles and just brings a unique view of a male character for this game. Plus, how well will Armour of the 5th Age fit in with a Manly Paladin Taric?
He will get a VU just like everyone else. They started working on his VU a long time ago when I heard rumours and saw screenshots of new pajamas, but I'm not sure if they've kept up with it or not. All VUs take time though, especially a drastic one for Taric, which will probably be as drastic as Sivir's VU.
There's definitely one in the works for him. IronStylus has made a few threads asking people for ideas over the past month or so.
omg not wow armour :P max blech plssss
