Taric • counters

Taric has only one engage tool, which his is

. It takes a decent amount of time to go off but can be cast from other champions that he is bound with. Look out for him rebinding to the Jungler to stun targets from afar.

Taric has a weak laning presence and can easily be poked when his

is on cooldown. Abuse this knowledge by forcing a fight shortly after it goes on cooldown

Taric's Q, an AO

heal and

a rebinding shield have a high mana cost and low reward for using them early. This makes poke very strong against him early due to it taking more casts of his Q to heal back the damage dealt.

Be careful when skirmishing with Taric. His Passive makes him a good skirmisher by letting him reset his Q. He will also regenerate a lot of the missing health after a trade.

The longer the game goes on, the stronger Taric becomes in comparison to other Supports. Taric's abilities scale on armour and health which means as he gets tankier, his abilities get stronger. End as soon as you can.

Grievous wounds is your best friend when facing Taric. He is able to provide a lot of AO

healing during fights which keeps his teammates alive and dealing damage for longer.

Paired with a strong early game ADC like Draven. Taric's level 1 is very strong if he lands his stun

.

If Taric is playing with a lane dominant ADC, Taric spikes at level 2 as it allows him to bind to an ally and look to cast his

and stun you. Get level 2 at the same time to reduce the chances of Taric and his laner looking to all in.

At level 6, Taric's

. is the one of strongest in the game. A well timed Taric Ult will protect him and his ADC from taking damage. Try baiting out the Taric Ult by skirmishing often rather than all out war until it goes in cooldown. Once on cooldown you have 3 minutes (180 secs) to abuse the lane.
