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
It is, however it's impossible to get that comp done until around level 4-1 at which point you'll be pretty low on life and a few bad games can put you away, the best bet is a combo or yordle/elemental, because they can't speed kill you if they're frozen.
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.

this is totally wrong. blademaster gunslinger is the highest possible single sustained dps combo in all of TFT. not even noble 6 fully setup can tank them and neither can yordles or anyone for that matter. the problem is its even more of a late game setup then noble 6. you need multiple hard to get units like draven yasuo jinx miss fortune not to mention multple spatulas. if you do end up reaching its full potential there is no other combo or theme that can beat you but by that time you'd most likely have been kicked out of the match by any random comp.
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.
