Taric vs Yuumi Counter Pick

Yuumi has about as little durability as any bot lane target: 500 base health, rising to 1,673 at level 18, with 25 base armour and 25 magic resistance. Her answer is to latch onto an ally with You and Me!, which leaves her untargetable by everything except turrets. Taric won 57.2% of the 341 games logged on patch 16.13.1, rated Easy, and neither champion is heavily punished for sloppy mechanics, with ratings of 3 and 2 respectively.

Where the lane gets dangerous:

• Before she attaches, a Dazzle that connects followed by two Bravado-boosted attacks can nearly finish her off at those health values.
• Her damage is magic, and Taric’s base magic resistance of 28 is his weak point, so Prowling Projectile damage adds up across a long lane.
• Zoomies grants a shield and movement speed to whichever champion holds it, which is the tool that cancels out a slowed approach at 150 range.

Once attached she cannot be hit, but her host can, and Bastion’s passive armour together with Cosmic Radiance lets Taric’s side live through the burst window she opens. Feline Friendship heals her and the next ally she latches onto at intervals, so harassment that falls short of a kill is partly offset. Final Chapter sends out five waves that hurt enemies and heal her allies; the best response is to time invulnerability against it rather than trade damage. Her attachment mechanics are covered on the Yuumi champion page.
