Taric vs Yuumi Counter Pick

Yuumi is about as fragile as a bot lane opponent gets — 500 base health, 1,673 at level 18, with 25 base armour and 25 magic resistance — and she answers that by attaching with You and Me!, becoming untargetable by everything except turrets. Taric wins 57.2% of the 341 games recorded on patch 16.13.1, difficulty Easy, and neither champion is punished much for execution at ratings of 3 and 2 respectively.

The pressure points:

• Before she attaches, a landed Dazzle plus two Bravado-empowered attacks is close to lethal at those health totals.
• Her damage is magic and Taric’s 28 base magic resistance is his weak stat, so Prowling Projectile chip accumulates over a long lane.
• Zoomies shields and speeds up whichever of the pair holds it, which is the ability that undoes a slow walk-up at 150 range.

Attached she is untouchable, but her host is not, and Bastion’s passive armour plus Cosmic Radiance mean Taric’s side survives the burst window she is enabling. Feline Friendship periodically restores health to her and to the next ally she attaches to, so poke that stops short of a kill is partly refunded. Final Chapter channels five waves that damage enemies while healing her allies, and it is the ultimate worth answering with invulnerability timing rather than with damage. Her attachment rules are on the Yuumi champion page.
