Taric vs Milio Counter Pick

The matchup is close to dead even. Across 503 games on patch 16.13.1, Taric wins 49.3% of the time against Milio, which puts it in the Even bracket rather than a counter for either side. Both champions are built to keep an ally alive, but they get there in different ways.

Reach is the first thing that splits them. Milio casts from 525 range while Taric works from 150, so Milio never has to stand inside Dazzle’s reach, and Cozy Campfire also boosts the attack range of allies standing within it. Milio’s damage is magic, and he aims it at a target with only 28 base magic resistance. Still, his 48 base attack damage and 560 health leave him fragile, reaching 2,056 at level 18 compared with Taric’s 2,328, so any engage that gets to him decides the fight.

Breath of Life is what keeps Milio at this level. It heals allies in range and clears their crowd control, which cancels out the payoff of a Dazzle stun the moment it lands. Cosmic Radiance answers that, since its invulnerability can’t be healed through or cleansed, and Bastion’s passive armour stays active as long as Taric keeps it. Starlight’s Touch charges only build from Bravado-empowered attacks, so Taric has to step into range to charge it, which is the ongoing trade-off of playing a 150-range enchanter.
