Taric vs Senna Counter Pick

Across 611 games on patch 16.13.1, Taric holds a 49.3% win rate against Senna, which is an Even matchup. Neither champion counters the other. Senna is far more demanding to pilot, rated 7 out of 10 to Taric’s 3, and much of what she does never shows up in a straight fight.

The gaps:

• Range: 600 versus 150. Piercing Darkness restores allies and hurts enemies through a target, so she can work without ever stepping into Dazzle’s radius.
• Durability: 530 base health, 2,043 at level 18, and 93 armour, compared with 645, 2,328 and 113.1 for Taric. If she gets caught in a landed engage, she won’t survive it.
• Scaling: Absolution collects souls from nearby units that die, a resource built outside of combat that Taric has no counterpart to.

Last Embrace is her committal ability. It roots the first target and anything around it after a short delay, and that’s when Bastion’s shield and armour are most useful. Dawning Shadow has global reach, so Cosmic Radiance provides defence far beyond the bot lane. Curse of the Black Mist transforms her into a wraith and allows allies to enter the zone with her, which undermines any plan that depends on isolating her at 150 range. Taric’s mixed damage from Bravado runs into her 25 base armour and 30 magic resistance, and both are low. Her soul mechanic is covered on the Senna champion page.
