We don't know if he's keeping the armor aura. Likely not.

Removing Taric's armor scaling? But that's all that Taric really does. Do you know how boring the armor scaling club is going to be with only 2 members?

As a Taric player (Five mastery, mostly jungling):

Taric's Armor aura provides a TON of free resistances just for the sake of having points in W. It's also fairly low-key, considering it's just a bonus stat. If it sticks around, I can't imagine it staying in the current form. He might still have armor scaling but the massive bonus armor aura? Unlikely.

Taric shatter was the one ability I don't want touched. The armor aura and the armor shred were great to have and unique. I could do without the removing the armor bonus on casting shatter but to be honest its probably better off that way since it created balance.

Taric's passive of gemcraft needs higher numbers on damage or needs to slow targets or lower their resistances or something. It just felt weak to get a minorly empowered auto attack with only a 2 second cooldown reduction. Great for free farming but horrendous for team fighting. Imbue needs more oomph because without items like spirit visage or warmogs it lacked the impact of all other healers in the game as well as extra utility since all the other heals in the game grant utility through speed boosts, increased resistances, etc. It always seemed weak to me, although healing minions was a neat trick since he's the only one besides Kayle who can do that now. Dazzle has way too long a cool down, a super slow travel speed and low damage. And it only hits one target and lasts only 1 second. Dazzle is the ability I want changed the most. And radiance is a nice steroid but on a highly immobile champion it just doesn't mesh well since 5 seconds is way too short. It needs a shortened cooldown or something.

But I have a feeling that a majority of his kit is getting replaced. RiotRepertoir hinted that Taric's new kit will possess "arguably the strongest ability in the game in certain situations" so the hype is there. I think he may be overselling it but that's just me. And while I love the new look, the fact that Taric has lost most of his armor worries me that he may have been moved from being a tank to being a mage. Or at minimum an AP Bruiser. The one redeeming fact is that Taric's title is being changed from "The Gem Knight" to "The Shield of Valoran" and yet I see no shield. So its a curve ball they are throwing us right now. I still hope that his new kit has better, more reliable AOE CC (or atleast shorter cooldowns) and some form of mobility booster even if its only a 0.5 second speed boost just something to mediate his slow and immobile frame. And I hope that his in game model is a bit bigger to reflect his size.

Battlecast SonaApr 5, 20162 votes

The problem is that Shatter eats up a ton of Taric's power budget while not really feeling very impactful or interesting. Invisible stat auras are really, really bad from a game health perspective because (as Morello has talked about, especially before the Sona rework) there's a diffference between perceived strength and actual strength that is usually pretty distinct (something can seem really weak but be incredibly gold efficient from a statistical point of view... but flat stats do a really poor job of FEELING powerful, meaning it has to be overtuned to be impactful.) So while I think shatter was definitely iconic to Taric, I'd love to see it go in favor of a better kit.

I'm really excited for the prospect of an entirely new kit for Taric because I have hopes that he will become a support that has build options that aren't "stack 400 armor" - while still maintaining his melee bruiser/tank support status. And while his kit now definitely has some strong points, I'm glad to see the power budget shift in ways that might open up more interesting, thematically awesome abilities for Taric.

Celeste BenalApr 5, 20161 votes

I really don't care to see more AoE CC. We already have Nautilus for that. I also don't care to see more point-and-click CC. Point-and-click abilities with no counterplay suck ass to play against. I'd rather see him stay a huge tank with some sort of aura, or other ally buffs. We have too few champs that focus on assisting allies in ways other than healing or CC.

NaharaApr 5, 20162 votes

But without CC, he can't tank. Tanks are there to setup their allies, to be huge walls of health and resistances and crowd-control that enemies are forced to fight if they don't want to be CC'ed to death.

If Taric is unable to peel for him team or CC enemies to set them up for kills, what good is he compared to the likes of Nautilus, Leona, Braum, Thresh, and Blitzcrank?

Solidair3Apr 5, 20161 votes

He will likely still have armor scaling. Repertoir has said that Taric will still like to build armor so... he'll have scaling. Whether he'll have an aura or not... that remains to be seen.

spavinedApr 5, 20161 votes

leona still has her armor scaling :]

HayRossApr 5, 20162 votes

Simply having armor scaling doesn't let you into the club, you need to be able to build 5 or more armor items and still deal substantial damage from said armor. Leona doesn't get ANY bonus damage from armor, so she isn't part of the armor stacking club.

It's a strict rule, but they just can't let anyone with an armor scaling join

Celeste BenalApr 5, 20161 votes

Leona doesn't need more damage. She does a lot of damage for a tank.

HayRossApr 5, 20161 votes

It's not about her needing more damage, to get into the club, a champion needs to have armor scalings large enough to compare with or surpass building AD or AP. Rammus, Taric and Malphite currently being the only 3

Looks like it's actually stronger.

Scales up to 20% armor instead of only 12%.

I burst out laughing when I saw this. Sadly they might not do that, but that would be an awesome ultimate skin. Maybe the gem it would be based on is opal?(due to the many different types of colors they can be, all of them multicolored too ranging from white with light colors to black with vivid colors)
