What Taric's Rework Needs

You've seen how, despite being the star dragon, Aurelion Sol throws literally the most shade out of any champion?

We need this with Taric, but even more so.

We need this man to be fabulous.

We need this man to tell any gaudy champ skins that they have no fashion sense.

We need him to tell Lux "Ezreal sends his regards" when she dies.

We need this man to have the first "taunt comeback" in the game and refute Aurelion's taunt to him. Sol: "You're an Aspect? Let me guess, tackiness." "That would have stung a bit if star dragons actaully knew how to dress."

He needs Cosmic sass He needs to be able to play Top Mid Support Anywhere And he needs to be so fabulous He can impregnate any Leonas in the botlane Just by peacefully farming top Any Ezreals too Hell, he should be able to impregnate Sol just by auraing him We need the Jack Harkness of the League, Riot

There's a reason he's king of the official Husbando chart, and he should stay that way: http://i.imgur.com/koRVXSv.jpg

I really don't want him to be stereotypically flamboyant and gay. He should have remarks about gems and such and have a soothing voice, but to make him a caricature of fashion and gay culture would not be appropriate I think. The joke with Ezrael is a bit old at this point I think as well. Other than gay jokes (and that kickass animation with Taric and Ezrael against Ashe and Thresh) there's really no reason to put them together. If he is gay or bi or pan or whatever other orientation there is in Runeterra, that's just fine. If he likes having immaculate armor, that's peachy too. I just don't want him to be a stereotype for the sake of 'Gays are funny!'

Not sure at all about sass. I rather think he should just be this beautiful knight full of dignity.

I like the idea of him being witty or charming, but not being flamboyant at the expense of who his character originally was. There's also a dignity, pride, and chivalrous aspect to the character that I think makes him compelling, and allows him to be more easily identified with (his original motive was protecting people, not doing it for recognition/fame; I liked that a lot because, as a support player, those are the things I enjoy doing).

While making the character more dynamic would be cool, I'd rather not see his personality do an 180, or for him to become some sort of Mettaton-esque caricature of what he was before either.

He can be fabulous without being homosexual, and even if he were, it's possible to go about said orientation and humor without being stereotypical at the core. (The Ezreal joke could also be gone about as a 4th-wall poke at the community, rather than Taric's interests.)

Again, I believe humor can be gone about in a way that doesn't overly detriment the core personality, as one of the smaller Aspects of Taric's personality.

Fabulousness? Flamboyancy? Yes. Gay? No.

He still needs to dazzle Ezreal in bot lane.

While shocking Sion in top lane.

And Shaco still needs to be surprised by his style when he comes out from the jungle.

Taric + Speedo (with teemos face prints on it) + counter taunts = ultimate champion.

I always think of Taric Taric as the Knight of the game, him and Garen Garen are the 2 noble knights I don't think he should be a fancy taunting idiot which is why I despise how his alternate costume looks, it looks so stupid they should give him better costumes

that'd be great, but I bet it's already done being recorded... we can dream, though.
