Matchups

Every matchup
How to read this

Taric’s win rate against each champion picked into it in the lane opposite: its hardest matchups, then its easiest. The small number is the matchup’s own effect on Taric, the part not explained by either champion’s strength.

Lane leads and team bans

What Taric’s team bans

Champions a team bans more often when it has Taric than the other team does in the same games (66,449 games). The other team banned before Taric was picked, so the gap is the ban spent because Taric was coming — a sign players see these as counters. Riot does not say which player cast a ban, so this is the team’s choice.

These numbers describe, they do not prove. Each rate is Taric’s record when its player chose that option, pulled toward Taric’s own rate by 100 games of prior so a small sample cannot look like a discovery. An uncommon page often wins more because experts run it, and they would win on any page, so only a choice taken in at least 10% of games can be recommended, and spells and keystones are ranked by how the SAME players do with them against the usual choice, not by the raw rate; rarer ones are listed with their numbers and labeled. The build line (opening buy, the two key items in the order they are finished, boots or the support upgrade) is advice in the same sense: how Taric does when built that way.

Dots are the six mastery bands, placed at their mastery points. The line is the best-fitting curve that rises and levels off.

This is not a promise about your next game. Players do not reach a mastery band in a random order, and a champion someone loses on tends to get dropped before it reaches the high bands — so the right-hand side of every curve is partly survivors, not only practice.
