Assassin rework and Camille

I'm gonna start by saying I stopped playing before the assassin rework, and I just came back two days ago.

I thought the assassin rework was going to take place because of the lack of counter play. That by itself seems like a valid reason, but I just experienced Camille's ult, and it seems to go against this design philosophy. There aren't any counter play options for Camille's ult unless it's built into the champion's kit (tristana R).

To clarify, what I'm confused about is: Riot's philosiphy of "We don't like situations where counter play doesn't exist" and Camille's ult where counter play doesn't exist.

Am I missing something or did Riot flip flop a bit?
