How to beat Taric as Yuumi: the early game

Levels 1-5 are Taric's: his empowered autos and Q heal out-value your poke, and his E stun threatens your ADC anytime you drift into his range. Don't contest trades — attach, hold max range, and keep your carry topped with W. Respect Dazzle's cooldown and only step up when it's down. He is slow and short-ranged, so aim the missile at him on every approach and stay attached throughout. Keep the heal-speed for the moment his stun starts charging, and let your carry hold the wave near your side where he never reaches either of you.
