Playing against Taric
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
His R has a visible 2.5s delay: burst the targets BEFORE the invulnerability triggers.
2
R's invulnerability is centered on Taric: if allies move away from him, they aren't protected.
3
His E stun is slow and predictable — side-step or dash to avoid it.
4
Taric is weak against poke: harass him from range since he can only heal with Q (limited mana) and needs to be in melee.
