Bravado (Passive):
Spellcasts empower Taric's next 2 basic attacks to deal [~15+ 5 per level] (+ 15% bonus armor) bonus magic damage, reduce his base spells' cooldowns by 1 second, and attack in quick succession

Starlight's Touch (Q):
60/80/100/120/140 Mana, 1-3 Charges
15 sec Recharge
Spends all charges to heal nearby allied champions for 20/30/40/50/60 (+ .2 AP) (+ 1.5 per 100 bonus Health) per charge, up to 60/90/120/150/180 (+x) (+x) at 3 charges.
Bravado-empowered attacks reduce this recharge time by 3 additional seconds.

Bastion (W):
60 Mana
14 sec Cooldown
Taric's spells will also cast from a nearby ally protected by Bastion.
Passive: Bastion increases Armor by X (10/12.5/15/17.5/20% of Taric's Armor).
Active: Blesses an ally with Bastion and shields them for 8/9/10/11/12% of their maximum Health for 2.5 seconds. Bastion lasts on the target until a new one is chosen.

Dazzle (E):
60 Mana
18/17/16/15/14 sec Cooldown
Readied a beam of starlight that, after 1 second, deals 60/105/150/195/240 (+ .5 AP) (+ 30% Bonus Armor) magic damage and stuns enemies for .75/1/1.25/1.5/1.75 second(s).

Cosmic Radiance (R):
100 Mana
140/115/90 sec Cooldown
After a 2.5 sec delay, pulses cosmic energy onto nearby allied champions, making them invulnerable for 2.5 seconds.

New Taric seems pretty neat. I like how simple of a mechanic Bastion's "cast from another ally" bit is, but it has a lot of potential for interesting plays with Starlight's Touch or Dazzle.

It's worth emphasizing that Taric's cast for stun has no movement impairing delay. It's cast like Lucien ult, and won't stop your movement at all. That makes it a lot better than I previously thought.

you said "drop kick" fyi
I wouldn't say they're awful, but they definitely lack consistency. Take the art from any five champions (sometimes even between the same champion's skins) and they could be from five different games. I rather liked the old PAX Sivir portrait, but the new one is pretty nice too.

EDIT: Can we all agree that the new Groovy Zilean and Commando Xin Zhao are awesome?

I don't know man everytime I go to the gym here there are like two huge dudes with raging high and tights snorting Nitro-tech off of each other's rock hard abs.
So edgy... I like some of them, but I just want League to keep taking the piss like they did with DravenDraven. We can look at WH40k and their constant lean towards the grimdark, edgelord, version of their world. Orkz Mario Kart was a real thing! I don't want their edgy bend to start taking the levity out of League like it's taking the fun out of their splashes. Even my favorite skin in the game, the Warwick Grandma got changed so that instead of him trying to look like an old lady, it's a super muscular, aggressive, Warwick in a night gown.

I have some annoying problems with playing Fiora, I have trouble getting all 4 hits on her ult and her Q doesn't seem to target vital points like the description says. Anyone got any solid tips for landing vital hits? I am experimenting with her builds, but I am having legit trouble with just basic mechanics on her ults. I always end up with an hourglass shape and no movement options left

basically every top laner is interesting to play. "i cant be hurt but i can contribute to you getting ganked" is great! but its the reason why the lane is so loving bad right now. gently caress poppy and gently caress her stupid rework

i feel like nautilus having a million different kinds of CC, enough damage to kill an adc before they get out of the CC, waveclear, and being tank as gently caress is maybe one too many things to be good at. with corrupting potion and grasp his trading in top is so good too. i dont really mind the free wins but i dont feel good about them.
