So DFG got deleted because of lack of counterplay...
When building MR IS the counterplay. Meanwhile theres still an item with NO counterplay

DFG was removed because it enforced an assassin playstyle for some mages and lowered the limit of when you could 1 shot squishies instead of tanks as it was supposed to do.
There was literally no worries about counterplay when it came to dfg.
As a kat main that built it 24/7. It needed to be removed.
Actually, it is pretty heavily countered by traps and delayed CC (Swain, Soraka, Jinx).
It has counterplay: Position yourself for when their invincibility ends. They can't move or do anyhting during it.
Unlike DFG, baiting a Zhonya's doesn't usually result in your untimely demise.
Counterplay for
: Gather around them and form a small circle of death and prepare to sacrifice the user to Satan. In order to do this you need a
Shroom, a
Trap, a
trap, a
box or some other champion or thing that can absolutely ruin their entire day and then you wait for the sacrifice to be complete and watch 300g spawn from the pits of Tartarus in place of the writhing body of the user. Rip.
(wait 2 seconds)
lolpls us bronze players believe that we use mana so we should get op items!
DFG got removed because it was being used to burst squishies
