Who do you pick to "reverse counterpick" your opponents in Nemesis Draft?

Besides just selecting the underpowered Champions, who here actually does "reverse counterpicking" for Nemesis Draft?

What do I mean? Well, in my only ND game so far, I was given Alistar, so I forced the enemy to take Fiddlesticks. Headbutt/Pulverize > Crowstorm.

Or, for instance, your enemy forces you to take Gangplank. Reverse counter by giving them Veigar, and send Gangplank mid-lane. Veigar = SCREWED!

Or say you're the one who gets Veigar. Force the enemy to take Cassiopeia and vaporize that snake!

Show off your "reverse counterpicks".

Rammus + Taric give them Olaf + Garen and laugh as they try to kill you before your craploads of armor + thornmail puts them in the grave P:

I dunno, Garen is really good with Black Cleaver, and Olaf has true damage in his kit. Rammus and Taric are okay against them, definitely, but not what I'd call hard-counters.

Here's one, though: Get Rammus, give them Talon. He is completely and utterly fucked against Rammus.

Heh, you're not thinking big enough.

Give the enemy any combination of 5 ADCs/AD assassins with Rammus/Taric/Malphite and then laugh as they deal 0 damage to you even with LW.

5 ADC's/ AD assassins can split push against that all day. They still will take objectives way faster than your team will even if they wouldn't win a 5 on 5 fight

Both Taric and Rammus damage scales off their armor though So they are stacking armor to survive your damage and they will be fighting back pretty hard. Yes Olaf has a true damage nuke...that doesn't change the fact that most his damage is completely denied though.
