Gem Knight No Longer ?

Hey all ! So I'm pretty freakin excited for that rework. I've always liked those community stories and jokes. So the whole thing with Taric/Ez ship, and gems being outrageous and all, I am a big fan. When I saw the rework, I was really excited, I found it great. The armor of the fifth age splash and skin is SO FABULOUUUUS. But reading the champion update and the new lore something struck me: There are little or no mention of the gems, Taric is no onger called the gem knight etc. I love the rework, but I'm a bit afraid we're losing the Gem part, that I think is pretty iconic of the character.

Love all, Gems are outrageous, now and forever.

While his gems have lost some importance,he still uses them in his kit and are frequently mentioned in his VO.

I'd say its likely that taric simply used gems already before he became an aspect(hence why he lost his jewelry on his way to the top of the mountain) and now he still uses them to channel the power of the stars.

Hmmm I see that's a pretty cool way of seeing it. Like Pre-Targon Taric would be pre-update Taric and now he's more than a gem knight. That's pretty neat, I still wish there was more alusions to his gem power in the new lore.
