How to beat Taric as Senna: the early game

Level 1 is yours: Taric has no stun online yet, so your Q double-tap and mist autos poke him freely before he can answer. He's a low-econ, melee-range laner and you own the pure poke war until his kit ramps. He is slow and short-ranged, so collect souls freely and root him whenever the wind-up starts. Heal your carry through his poke, take the wraiths in every gap, and let the range you bank rather than an exchange be the thing that decides a lane he cannot reach you in.
