What's the counter to gunslinger/blademaster combo?
Title. It's gotten a lot easier to get this comp going and I'm seeing it a lot more. So what's the counter?

I don't play much, but Yordle sounds like a free win against that comp
yordle or glacial
if you can't get a 2 star veigar with bunch of 1star veigar ready then don't play yordle. not really worth the investment early game.
Imo Slingermaster is weak in the current (assassin) meta.
In theory: Guardians should be good, since it gives armor.
there's no real counter to it. its a super late game combo that requires several spatulas to reach. it has even stronger late game then noble 6 fully setup. the thing is usually blademaster + gunslingers are by the other meta comps like assassins,shapeshifters/wilds long before they start to wreak havoc.
its basically untankable and hyper super late game oriented but the problem is like i said before you'll get destroyed long before you even get all the core units. not to mention how desperately you need multiple spatulas for it to work. i say multiple not even single. its basically the equivialnt of exodia in TFT. you'll never see it happen properly except once every 100 games and when it does you lose the end.(assuming they knew how to build or position at all)
Against physical damage are good armor and HP: 6 knights + imperials or 6 nobles or 6 brawlers. Armor and more armor.
Sorcerers/assassins/shapeshifters they don't have time to activate their spells/transform.
yordle and knights(though if they have the right items knights don't work that well), and ofc assasins cause they kill everything anyway
Thornmail braum also can give them a hard time, so do assasins with FH or frontlines with IBG
Thornmail Braum Ice Gauntlet Shen Assassins Glacials
or my favorite... 6 Sorcerers, 2 imperials with Kat having all the mana items for instant ult at the start of the round. Watch her jump in and kill most units right off the bat.
