I think you should focus more on the 1452 Physical damage rather than the true.

It's a Camille. Melee carry/splitpusher. The best counterplay to her is stay grouped, and dogpile on her when she engages. Unless you're playing another melee carry like Fiora, Yi, Riven etc. you shouldn't be able to counter her in 1 vs 1 in other way than buy time.

Buy health/health regen, kill the enemy quicker, evade the source of the damage, or end the game before you let Camille reach almost full build.

Almost every champion that does true damage is DPS-based.

DPS loses to burst. Ergo, burst them.

I don't know if you are trolling or if the image above is not enough to give you information just by looking at the build.

Number 1. The camille went full armor, she even dared to go for a sustain item that is not THAT good right now.

Number 2. Wich means, that the Thread author, was using an AD based champ. Which means, he tried to fight that camille in a 1v1 situation by the looks of it.

Number 3. I also considered that it was a AD comp. Which explains the camille facerolling.

Number 4. You just simply cannot burst a camille with sterak, she prob had conq too. And fed, at this point it seems.

Number 5. She has auto resets and that's what probably ended up killing our dear victim here.

Ergo, he cannot burst that camille. That's not a counterplay problem nor an itemization problem. The only solution for the Author is to tell him to pick a Brusier or fighter, if hes a top laner, that camille sure would try to 1v1 across the map.

So here are his options:

Jax Tryndamere Fiora Renekton

Nasus This one might work, but try the others first. Or wait for the so called Q buff that he is going to get.

You're wrong on #2, the OP was playing Malzahar.

Based on the screenshot and the match history, the OP's build was item 1056 item 3020 item 3116 item 3027 item 3151 item 1058 .

I suspect that the OP's ult was on cooldown from killing Camille about a minute before, but it was nearly up again. Staying with teammates until he could lock her down again (she was the only serious threat on the enemy team) would have saved the OP his life and possibly the game.

Ok, i didn't check his match history, ill give you that.

The rest that you said is correct.

Al least i nailed that she was facerolling, fed, and had presence all over the map.

"Camille went full armor" Camille has Ninja tabis and Chain west... and that's all for armor items [sg-miss-fortune]

SaevumJan 2, 20192 votes

Actually, yes, that's all you need as Camille.

It's more profitable to go Health due to passive.

Health into shield. remember that is by %. Steraks fills in perfectly as an all-around to go as Camille along with its own passive. Camille also had the option of going Deadman's. She decided to go GA.

it's interesting overall.

KioshekJan 2, 20192 votes

Well I am not saying it is bad build or w/e. Just that you said she went full armor... why she had 2 armor items (one not even finished) is quite funny.

SaevumJan 2, 20191 votes

Oh ok. I even had to double check camille passive due to your comment.

DuskDaUmbreonJan 2, 20191 votes

"Full armor" Bitch she had tabis and a chain vest. That's not even a full armor item.
Or it means she got armor. It's not a 1v1. OP could well have been AP (as was said below, he was Malzahar)
We have no way of knowing this...
If she's fed you kinda already fucked up. But you don't have to lethally burst her. Just get her too low to actually go back in. If you drop her to 80% health with your combo, and have allies nearby (as you should if they have someone strong in 1v1s), she really can't do anything. At that point she has to escape or die.

Not so sure that´s applicable when Camille's Sheen empowered Q2 deals 700+ true damage.

Stop giving riot money is the strongest counter.

wolf jadeJan 2, 20191 votes

her q does 950 true damage or something its not the item (late game)

GetrektsayggwpJan 2, 20193 votes

so i avoid late game by quitting?

Daddy AntsJan 2, 20191 votes

Health.

Against % true damage like Vayne and Fiora, it's attack speed slows and thornmail.

CppLJan 2, 20191 votes

if it just true dmg then by HP.If its %hp true dmg ,well then not much you can do.

Vision. Control Wards and your trinket.

Everyone's saying health, but honestly? If that's her Q damage, we haven't even factored in E damage, W damage or the follow up hits while you're stunned or slowed. Health also assumes this is late game Camille, not fed Camille.

If you know where Camille is, or you don't but you know Camille isn't close enough to hookshot onto you, she can't hit you for 1000 damage. This works BOTH late game or when she's fed. Be where Camille isn't, and if you can't do that, hide behind your teammates. I don't see QSS or Scimiar here. Let her ult one of them, then giver her the space AIDS, pop out some voidlings, and barf on her. If she isn't dead (how?) you at least cancelled her ult and saved someone.
