"Just dodge the Q" is not counterplay

Well obviously, just standing still isn't working, now is it?

What counterplay does your referred mid-lane have in their kit that goes beyond dodging skillshots?

I mean nidalee is quite a bit different than Zoe. Zoe's one shot is almost guaranteed while Nidalee's projectile is quite easy to dodge.

Um.... I can't think of too many champs where "dodging" is not counterplay. That's kind of how adcs exist. They don't just orb to shorten animations. They orb so that skill shots are harder to land. That's why they can outperform AD junglers etc when they have less AD, etc. They dodge.

The only champ i can think of where Dodging doesn't mean anything?

How is that not counterplay? I can't dodge the late game adc critting me for half my HP and somehow a skillshot that does alot of damage is the issue?

It is though
