Alistar into Taricmedium

Overview

Control bot lane brush to threaten your + engage and deny Taric's linked stun angles.
Use your engage windows to set up burst trades with ADC follow-up before Taric's sustain kicks in.
Prioritize short, sharp all-ins over extended fights where Taric's and healing excel.

Trading pattern

Engage from brush with + only if your ADC can immediately follow and burst.
Punish Taric's or cooldowns by forcing quick trades before he shields or stuns.
Avoid engaging when Taric's invulnerability is active or your ADC is too far back to capitalize.

Danger windows

Respect Taric's linked stun angles near his ADC and his protective shield.
Avoid engaging when Taric's invulnerability is available, as it negates your burst.
Losing brush control makes your engages predictable and easier for Taric to counter with his linked stuns.

Early game

Win the level 2 race to unlock your + combo and pressure Taric's ADC.
Hold brush control to create surprise engage angles and punish Taric's attempts to position safely.
Avoid using before confirming ADC follow-up or needing to peel from Taric's stun threat.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your full + engage combo, enabling strong all-in windows with ADC.
Level 3 adds your stun, increasing peel and trade threat around brush control.
Level 6 lets you ignore burst and secure tower dives; coordinate with ADC and jungler.

Win conditions

Use brush control and + engages timed with ADC follow-up to deny Taric ADC access.
Leverage your level 6 to enable tower dives or peel your ADC through Taric's extended fights.
Punish Taric's positioning by forcing trades and denying extended fights outside his shield range.
