Use your ultimate as a peel tool, not just for engaging. Caging your own carry during a fight can save them from a bad dive. 'Zeke's Convergence' as a first item is an underrated choice.

Tip

Be careful not to stand in range of Taric’s Dazzle (E) while dealing damage with basic attacks. Dazzle’s (E) casting period makes it easy to dodge. Taric can use the invulnerability on Cosmic Radiance (R) to turn the tables, so try to freeze whoever received Cosmic Radiance (R).
