Read from Taric's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Blitzcrank.
This is Taric's own plan; across 1,458 pooled games the lane is Taric-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Blitzcrank | Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab threatens a lane-ending pick your kit can't dodge for. |
| Level 2 | Blitzcrank | Level 2 one hook still equals a kill, keeping all pressure on him. |
| Level 3 | Blitzcrank | At level 3 his combo damage on a caught target outweighs your setup. |
| Levels 4-5 | Blitzcrank | Through level 4 the constant hook threat continues to dictate the lane. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 5 is even - your growing sustain balances his single-tool hook threat. |
| First item | Taric | First item your armor and heal make hooks survivable and let you punish cooldowns. |
| Two+ items | Taric | Two-plus items you rule the hook-downtime with superior sustain and peel. |
Levels 1-4 are Blitzcrank's: a single Rocket Grab plus Power Fist and R silence deletes a target, and your dashless kit can't dodge for your ADC, so hug minions, walk with the wall between you and him, and refuse to face-check. Link your carry so a landed grab is survivable, and stand in the hook line yourself where possible. Hold the stun for the moment his chain has already missed, and let the empowered autos rather than the heal charges be what punishes the cooldown window.
