What's the counterplay to %maxhp true dmg? What's the counterplay to your target becoming untargetable every few seconds? Why does Riot add concepts harder to play against thus to balance when they've been failing at balancing since the game launched? Also, why is every new kit whether it's a new champ or rework purposely made overpowered or broken? I know the answer for this one: $.
As far as I know the counterplay to knockups is birth control
What's the counterplay to knockups?
Not being hit by the knockup, or being hit at a time when the enemy can't follow up. The exact method for this is dependent on the specific ability in question.
Counterbuilding is not counterplay. Counterplay requires actions (hence the word play). Something that passively makes you more resistant to a certain effect is not counterplay.
Some things are specifically designed to have little or no counterplay... If that wasn't their intention then they would have given the champion something else.
knockups are generally a very healthy mechanic but when they first were introduced, they were all a reward for hitting "hard to hit"-spells like chogath rupture so it was kinda fair.
now rito strives to make it even fairer by making knockups more or less undodgeable and have no cooldowns so its more fun to use them because missing a rupture certainlyT wasnt fun.
Usually said mechanics are attached to skills who have thier own counters. Now I can't list them all and I'm sure some are easier said than done but it isn't a one way win most of the times.
Some mechanics are allowed to have no counterplay,but actually have outplay,that's why they are healthy. Except Tristana Vayne and Alistar
