Levels 1 through 5 are Taric's, and the sub-48% win rate shows it — he simply out-bullies you. His Q (Starlight's Touch) heals off stacked charges so he sustains through your poke, his Bravado empowered autos hurt, and his E (Dazzle) is a stun that sets up an all-in through the minion wave. Play safe, dodge the Dazzle line, farm from range, and don't try to win an early poke war against a champion who heals and stuns better than you trade.
