Please keep 'stars' away from Taric

And rename/reword the abilities that mention them to focus more about his affinity for the gems he's got floating around him.

He's a gem knight, not a star knight. It's a cosmetic change but it's important to his character.

it's kind of a slap in the face that the guy who's all about gems now has gems that are mostly irrelevant to him. if stars are all he needs to have his powers, why does he have floating rocks? why does he talk about stars if he's a gem guy?

it's an unnecessary split in character and feels like it's pushing him away from gems

He isn't called The Gem Knight anymore. He is now The Shield of Valoran

His shield is his rock hard abs and glorious mane.

You know, jokes aside that's actually a valid point.

He's still a gem knight.

He uses gems and gem-based visuals for everything.

It seems more like the gems are the physical manifestation of whatever celestial thing gave him power.

He WAS a Gem Knight, not he IS a Star Knight.

Just like Trundle WAS a cursed Troll and now he IS an Ice troll.

He has gems hovering around him.

Not stars. Gems.

Gem knight.

Not stars. Gems.

Gem knight.

But the stars are the ones that gave him powers, not the gems.

The gems are sort of the manifestation of that power seemingly.

Big LincolnApr 5, 20163 votes

then the gems are completely inconsequential and are there for nothing

Still the worst lore change imo

What if we combined stars and gems. STARGEMS!!! Taric item 3010 item 1028 item 1027 item 3110

Is Taric too outrageous for the crystal gems?

Probably yes. The Crystal gems are tooooo fab <3.

I have mixed feelings about it. It could use more gems, but I also kind of has an 80sish cosimix theme too it, which is kind of cool

Big LincolnApr 6, 20161 votes

i just feel like it's an odd and unnecessary split in thematics. gems don't have any relation to stars, and I'd much rather he be focused around gems with no mention of stars

much like I'd rather Poppy not have her entire personality focused around "the hero." Taric thankfully isn't nearly as extreme, but I'm very iffy when it comes to his new lore and theme.
