How Taric plays
Editorial Reading of the kit above, not a sourced claim - the numbers inside it were checked against the client before publishing.
Taric buffs his team while chipping away at anyone who gets close to him. Dazzle stuns and deals more damage the closer he is to the target when it lands, which rewards positioning aggressively rather than poking from max range. Imbue is a strong heal that's even bigger cast on himself, and every auto attack he lands shaves time off its cooldown, so staying in the fight and hitting things actually keeps his sustain flowing. Shatter's passive quietly boosts his own armor and shares a portion with nearby allies, and its active shreds enemy armor while dealing solid damage, a genuine two-way swing in a fight. Gemcraft adds a small burst of bonus magic damage to every attack, doubled against champions specifically. Radiance is the payoff for building around him: an area burst followed by a shared attack damage and ability power buff for his whole team, turning an even fight into a lopsided one. He's tanky and melee range, so he wants to be in the middle of things rather than hanging back.

Plays well with
Dazzle plus the armor aura wins AD-versus-AD lanes; ranged sustain and disengage supports beat him because he has no reach.
"In lane" means both champions are played in the same role in Classic; "across the map" represents cross-lane dynamics (e.g. jungler ganks, roaming supports). All matchups evaluated strictly within the 63 Classic launch champions.
