Big damage early. Have to change your playstyle to be more passive unless he drops his axes.
Lucian
Very difficult lane to fight (near impossible with an enemy Nami support). Dash makes it hard to also stick onto him and land stun. Your only way to win is to fight Lvl 1 and pray he didn't take E or flash your stun Lvl 1.
Jinx
Just fight early before she gets her Trap.
Caitlyn
Not so much a threat but hard to kill. Your only shot is Lvl 1. Once she gets Traps and her E it becomes very hard to stun her.
Ezreal
It gets hard to kill past Lvl 2 but you can easily kill Lvl 1.
Senna
You'll get out poked and it's hard to engage if she runs Fleet Footwork. Plus her W makes it hard to run in. Your only shot to win lane hard is Lvl 1.
Ashe
She can easily kite you and her W makes it hard to approach with stun. Fighting Lvl 1 and killing then or killing Lvl 2 after she's burned Flash Lvl 1 are your only options. The good thing is she doesn't scale.
Renata Glasc
She's not really a problem but you only really have a chance to kill Lvl 1-2. Lvl 3 onwards she can disengage pretty easily with her Q.
Janna
You can only go in when her Tornado is down. It's a really annoying lane but if they don't save their Tornado you'll have small windows to look to kill.
Alistar
You just never get to engage against him except for Lvl 1.
Yuumi
Just wait for the Yuumi to detach and Flash stun her.
What you do is pretend to be a little bitch. Stay back to avoid poke; but always be ready to Flash stun her the INSTANT she detaches.
All Yuumi's will not respect your Flash Stun Level 1/2.
Leona
Just run Guardian and you'll out-trade her if she decides to engage. Level 6 onwards though she can just roam around for picks with her ultimate. If she's paired with an aggressive ADC like Lucian/Draven it becomes more even though.
Kai'Sa
She's pretty easy to lane against. Just make sure you don't take an isolated Kaisa Q when you fight.
Karma
The poke is annoying and it's hard to stick onto her because of her movespeed buff but you shouldn't lose lane. It's pretty even.
Lulu
Good Lulu's will know how to kite well but their poke isn't as bad as Karma's. Relatively even laning phase overall.
Seraphine
You win hard Level 1/2 but the problem is post Lvl 3 and mid to late game. She just perma wave clears with empowered Q and has good CC for team fights. Plus if she runs Guardian it just becomes a farm lane bot after Lvl 3.
Karthus
Your ult makes his kinda useless. Early game is rough because even though you can easily kill him Lvl 1-3: his semi-revive passive makes it hard to get out cleanly.
Nilah
She has dashes so it makes it hard to stick onto her/stun. Plus her Jubilant Veil makes it impossible to get auto-attack resets while they're up.
Zeri
You can kill Lvl 1 but after she gets her dash it's tough. The problem is later you're completely reliant on your team to lock her down for you. It also doesn't help that she can steal your shields so going Locket of the Iron Solari feels bad against her.
Kalista
Laning phase is really hard since she is so mobile with her dashes and has good damage. Mid to Late you should be fine. Just don't feed her and maybe take Guardian if you feel like you can't stun her.
Morgana
You won't lose lane. She's just annoying with the Spellshield and snares. Usually you wanna bait out her spellshield and then auto-attack reset your Stun so that it's off cooldown before her Spellshield so you can engage on her or the enemy ADC.
Pyke
It's tough to lane against a good Pyke. Before Level 6, it's relatively even/skill-based. Level 6 onwards it becomes tricky to time your ultimate to deny his. He'll also always be able to outroam you and deny vision with Umbral Glaive. I recommend taking Guardian against him.
Sivir
Your only chance to kill her is Lvl 2. You'll have to stun her Lvl 1 and fake an all-in hoping she burns Flash and then Flash stunning her Lvl 2. If she's playing too safe then you'll just need to kill/focus their support instead. Spellshield makes it hard to stun and the movespeed from her Ultimate makes it hard to get auto-attack resets.
Cassiopeia
Worked ground and her ultimate makes it super easy to kite Taric and wait out his ultimate mid-fight.
Varus
Laning phase is pretty easy. Level 6 onwards and mid-game onwards makes it hard to get onto him with his ultimate and slows.
Trundle
His pillar basically makes it impossible to get auto-attack resets and he can force you to ult early and just walk away.
Amumu
You can still win the 2 v 2 Bot lane assuming your ADC's are equal. It's just hard to finish off kills because he usually grabs Glacial Augment or Aftershock making him hard to chase or too tanky. The problem is mid-game. You will have a very hard time to get auto-attack resets and it's hard to time your ultimate for his engages. Additionally, he can just use his ultimate and run away if you guys try to engage with Taric's ultimate.
Rell
In a vacuum you just straight up lose. Her all-in speed, amount of CC, ability to break your shields, and tankiness make her a hard match-up. However, during the laning phase; you just need to Flash her W/engage when she goes in AND make sure that you Flash Stun into the enemy ADC.
Mid-Late game you have to read her engages ahead of time/secure vision because your ultimate will be too slow if you use it immediately when she engages rather than right before she engages. Otherwise, you have to start fights first which is a lot harder for Taric than Rell.
Lux
A good Lux will make it hard for you to engage while poking you down. Thankfully, she's immobile and we can kill her and/or her ADC easily. What I recommend is pretending to be a little bitch in the back trying to avoid poke. Your goal is to bait her into using her Q and the INSTANT she throws out Q you should Flash stun her and kill with your ADC.
Nami
It really depends on the ADC. If it's with Lucian she's like a big threat. If it's with another ADC? probably about even or in your favor.
Without Lucian, she's just another squishy target that you can kill pre-6. After she gets her Ultimate it becomes a lot harder to stun her but you shouldn't lose lane.
Samira
Mid-game the synergy is really good. She can dash to set up your stun and your ult guarantees she gets to ult for free. The only issue is she has an abysmal Lvl 1/2.
Lucian
Really strong early. Dash can set up your stun. Plus your ultimate makes his short range not as much of a liability.
Jinx
Her Lvl 1/2 isn't great but she's a hyper-carry and her snare can be chained with your stun.
Draven
His "Stand Aside" can help set-up a stun. But I like supporting Dravens because I fight really early Lvl 1/2 and he's got good early damage.
Caitlyn
Her Lvl 1 isn't amazing unless she takes Trap and chains it with your stun. But with Glacial Augment you can set up easy Traps for her assuming she's good enough to Trap a stunned/slowed target. Low Elo Caitlyns are awful but higher Elo Caitlyns will work fine.
Veigar
Early game/laning phase is miserable. Mid-Late game is amazing.
Ziggs
You can burst pretty fast with Ziggs Lvl 2/3 but his Lvl 1 is bad.
Tristana
Good early game damage. W allows for some nasty stun set-ups.
Olaf
Any champion that functions while low on health works pretty well with Taric as he can help sustain them through a fight such as Aatrox, Irelia, etc.
Sejuani
Your attackspeed boost from your passive really helps Sejuani. Plus, chain cc'ing makes it so that your enemies can't move lol
Lee Sin
Any champions with dashes can set-up your stun pretty easily as long as you are bonded with them through your W.
Kalista
Insane synergy. She makes it very easy to snowball. Plus you can tower dive freely by alternating your ult and her ult.
Ezreal
I hate supporting Ezreals. They just sit back and poke. Good ones will E in to set-up your stun but other Bot laners can do that better.
Sivir
Champions that just farm bot and don't like fighting early are awful to lane with. This includes stuff like Karthus Bot. However, her ultimate during the mid-late game makes it really easy to stick to targets/reset your CD's with auto-attacks from your passive.
Nilah
Mid-game the synergy is really good. She can dash to set up your stun and your ult guarantees she gets to ult for free. Laning is interesting as her passive allows you to get experience leads but her Level 1/2 are still semi-weak.
Seraphine
You guys can chain CC and have a good amount of healing/shielding. But it's not great during laning phase. Mid to Late game it's pretty good but laning will be just a farm snooze fest.
Vayne
Her dash can set up your stun and you guys can chain CC. Plus the slow from Glacial Augment makes it easy to proc her passive. She just kind of sucks during the laning phase. She's super good with Taric late game though.
Twitch
Any champions with invisibilty (like Evelynn/Shaco) work really well with Taric as you can set up some invisible stuns. Twitch isn't great during laning phase but he's great during the late game.
Kai'Sa
Similar to Draven: the only real synergy with Taric is high burst damage early on. A stun with isolated Kaisa Q and/or Kaisa passive proc usually means death for the enemy ADC or Support.
Ashe
Her slows make it super easy to land your stun/burn the enemy Summoner Spells. She also has decent early game damage so you can fight early during laning phase and win most trades/all-ins.
Kindred
She's got a dash to set-up your stun but more importantly you can chain your Ultimate so that it activates right after hers ends guaranteeing you guys win most team fights. You just gotta stick close to her.
