Can we get a realistic yordle counter?

As it stands, the only way to counter yordles now is to start going wild early game and build around that. Most 6 piece builds mean you can't go yordle without getting a few FoNs to expand to 10 people which is incredibly rare. So if you don't plan on having wilds from the start, you probably will be screwed late game if a rival gets a 6 piece (or god forbid a 9 piece) yordle bonus). If Riot doesn't want a single item that will counter yordles (for that single unit using it), maybe at least make a combo weapon to turn a champ into a wild? So you can get wild bonuses with other sets, although that may end up overpowered in itself. Much more than having a single unit getting anti-dodge. Probably better to just return RFC's anti-dodge.

Yordles counter only noob meta sets.

Assassins and Demons can use Evelynn to carry (and Katarina), there is wild, sorcerer and glacial that shit on yordles. Who is crying about yorles? Only marksman/blademaster abusers.

if you can't land basic attacks, you get mana a lot more slowly (just from being hit). That counters a lot. Sorcs still have a decent chance unless the yordles burn them too fast (which can be done by making certain burners into yordles), and glacials are built around having to actually land AAs to freeze except Sej and ashe. Nobles are hard countered by yordles, as are shapeshifters, demons, gunslingers, brawlers, elementals, and as you mentioned blademasters and marksmen. Wild is the only hard counter to yordles (especially if they get their 9 piece bonus, which would make the 3 units with mittens have 100% dodge because item)

You still gain mana from misses. So no. This is why Sorcerers delete Yordles in 3 seconds. Also why Demons with Brand with a decent front line do too.
