How to beat Taric as Braum: the early game

You win Levels 1-3. Taric's only CC is Dazzle (E), a telegraphed stun with a wind-up you can juke or body-block, while your Q slow into passive stun lets you all-in a Taric who has no escape. Punish him before his Bastion shields and Starlight's Touch healing stack up — early he's just a slow melee with a slow stun. His stun has a wind-up you can body-block or walk out of, so hold position and let it miss. Mark him afterwards and let your ADC complete the stack. Shield the approach rather than the poke, and keep the wave near your side so the exchange happens on your ground.
