I guess you could say it is otherworldly

[@wraitsoth]

+JayOfLegend OOooOOH GEMS! GEEEEMS!

[@meganesenpai]

Yeah. I love what Riot did with the theme song. Anyway, Aurelion Sol isn't a good release, I barely see anyone play him. Hope the Taric rework will be better.

[@berdgar]

+JayOfLegend Its truly truly fabulous!!!

[@Spuzie]

Very nice improvement comparing to previous episodes! The cinematic touches was particularly outrageo... er... dazzling!

Then again Singed fucks up the environment with his concoctions (read Riven's lore) so I guess his punishment is having barely any hair. That is unless he tries to take some from Rengar...

I never played Taric before his rework, even as a Support Main. This spotlight interested the heck outta me so I bought him once the update was live. He's now the only champion I've earned Mastery 7 on.

the moment when i saw taric's entrance; i actually thought he's fabulous

[@Kimimoto]

So if you turn on the subtitles it says at 2:38 "after casting an erection American briefly move around before it's a fire" which is interesting I think.

Did you see the pink Taric splash art? You can see Ezreal at the bottom left of the splash art. And he's looking shy. And Taric's looking at him. GG. Hook up after that.

What about his wife, Ezreal?

[@maximilianrhinestone1024]

Ezreal is not Tarics wife. He's his butt buddy

[@Claudeee3]

Btw, why are people complaining about balance? His long delays, low mobility and high mana costs nake him pretty balanced

[@abowlofrice1245]

Aoe Kayla ult tho

[@rudolfspauders]

+A bowl of Rice ult is super predictible and u cab disengagge when he pops it

[@jodi106]

well, his stun hits more than one person, his heal effects more than one ally, and he can cast twice at the same time with an ally around...definitely gonna be OP when he goes live.

[@Accelos]

+D4RKM4NOLO Like I wouldn't be so bitchy about him, but it's not like he can get punished too hard. His E for instance would make sense if the bastion'd ally can move around but the fact that taric himself can move around and deliver a long ass stun leaves less to be punished. The Q at max sacks seems to heal almost as much as a raka heal. Then he has an aoe team kayle ult. sure you can still get cc'd and maybe you can pick one guy off before the invul procs but the fact that it's can turn a complete teamfight without much effort is pretty stupid. To cap all of that of, from watching the video it seems to not take up much of his mana to cast his spells, meaning this bull is going to happen for a while before he has to go back to repeat said process all over again.

But seriously this rework seems op af. I'll be real surprised if it doesn't become the top ban in LoL. The potential if you master this champ seems unreal but what do I know.
