Supports are well known as well supporting the Adc in whatever they can. Even dying for them if that is the case. Typically all supports have a different playstyle whether that be Healing and buffing or going in there and cc'ing the enemy team. All supports are built differently but have a common goal. To make sure that your adc is safe and the enemy adc is having a hard time. Taric is very well at enforcing both rules of play. He can cc the enemy adc and smack him around without taking much damage while also healing his own adc and buffing his armor. Because of this Taric is a great champion for the role of support. He is excellent at making the enemy adc go where HE wants them to go. Especially if they notice that you can destroy his support which in most cases you can definitely do so.

Taric may be able to take multiple bludgeons and volleys from enemy adc's but that does not mean he should. Taric excels at spamming and making the enemy adc feel insecure because he can look like he won every exhange. However his heal can only do this every now and then so because of this it isn't very smart during the first few minutes to go in and go toe to toe with thresh in fisticuffs because he will murder you and just laugh at your foolish attempt. No Taric is smart as he needs time to become powerful and typically this occurs at lvl 6. He gets his ultimate and it does a lot to buff not only his damage but his partner's as well. With this he can easily win exhanges but until then stick to solely stunning and then using his armor shred and running back to your adc safely. Sit back and come out when they least expect it and make sure you hover around the enemy adc like he's your property. Follow along in a crescent shape and you can easily manage yourself as the enemy support will have no idea where to position himself/herself.
