Whether you like it or not, CC does, in fact, counter every melee champion not named Olaf

You can get upset about this as much as you’d like because that yasuo or Zed outplayed your crowd control, but the fact of the matter is that CC directly counters melee champions. It does this because a melee champion is burdened with getting into range to attack, meaning you can always reactively apply CC and if it is done properly, there is no counterplay to it for the melee champion. Now, a melee champion can outplay certain CC spells or bait them out but again, if done properly by the applicator of the crowd control, the melee has zero answer for it. Anything before that is simple gameplay that has an interaction between attempting to outplay CC and applying CC.
