But wait, there's more!

Can we do something about this please? Right now picking Karthus is countering yourself.

######PS: Sorry if I forgot something, but the list is so big that it's actually sad.

EDIT: Wow, the ghost downvotes are real. At least leave a comment telling me where you disagree?

The problem with this list in particular is that it's specific to his counters, of which there are indeed many. However... it also has to be considered that his ultimate will a majority of the time be used in such a way that enemies don't have access to stopping it. It's a global nuke to every single enemy. That's pretty impactful, even if 2/5 of the people on the enemy team avoid it.

It should also be considered that not every champion is going to sit there pooling their defensive cooldown specifically for Karthus and his ultimate. If they are, they've likely lost the fight anyways since there's four other players on a team with Karthus or the people they are laning against.

And besides. He's more than just a walking ultimate. He pushes out some of the highest sustained area of effect damage in the game, provides great denial toward enemies grouping, shreds magic resistance and even focuses down less mobile champions pretty well. If you leave him unattended during a teamfight, he picks away at the backline with Q while sitting around the middle with his Defile. Between Seraph's Shield, Zhonya's, Rod of Ages and perhaps even Exhaust (I don't see many Karthus players taking Ignite), he's surprisingly durable and can sit around for awhile. And then he dies and sits around for even longer.

Why is Kat on there? Also put W for Ekko because of the shield.
