I really hope that the axe found in Chile is just a way of saying Taric gets a different weapon..

For now the axe that was found there seems so off. A metal axe in noxus style with a gem on top of it... First of, no gems except a little gem that looks like some plastic decoration. Second, it just lacks identity (as of now). The axe looks so much like a standard noxian axe... Wasn't it said new Taric is still some sort of paladin? Because that looks nothing like a weapon a paladin uses. If this really is Tarics final weapon i think we can expect a rework beyond Sion levels (atleast visually wise). I mean Sion and Poppy atleast kept their weapons in some way (Poppy Hammer, Sion Axe). And i really don't want another axe champion. Tarics combo of hammer and shield seems pretty unique in my opinion and i don't like in what direction the weapon change is heading.

I know we can't really say anything now because we just know stuff about his gameplay. Hopefully the full product seems fitting for him... we just can hope.
