Blocking auto attacks

Why do Blinding Dart, Counter Strike, and to a lesser degree Wind Wall exist in the game? Unless you are a mage these abilities might as well be invulnerability. From what I understand dodge was removed from the game for completely negating some champions, don't these abilities do the same thing? Wind wall is the only one that has counter-play given that it's stationary. While these abilities are core to their champions it is a very unfun and frustrating thing to go against.

Dodge negates champions on a permanent basis. Status effects have a short duration that has counterplay (Merc Treads, tenacity mastery)/peeling off for a moment is no different from silences, stuns, and bind. Each apply different effects and all of them can be played around. None of them completely invalidate a champion.

Having to step back for 1-2 seconds is not the same as literally never being able to hit a champion, or at least having a very low chance of your damage happening. Blinds and the like are also consistent, while dodge chance was random unless you hit 100% on old Jax.

Implying wind wall can block melee attacks

And dodge was removed because it could dodge fountain turrets I think
