Just thought I'd list the counters for the per say OP champions.

Counters to Riven:

Volibear Olaf Quinn Pantheon Garen Maokai Jax Nasus Shen Malphite

Counters to Vayne:

Ashe Quinn Twitch Caitlyn Corki Sona

Counters to Darius:

Chogath Renekton Yorick Elise Kayle Lulu Gnar

Counters to Lux:

Talon Gragas MasterYi Swain Velkoz Zed

Counters to Heimerdinger:

Syndra Xerath Velkoz Ziggs Lux Orianna Zed Katarina

Counters to Katarina:

Chogath Lulu Sion Diana Fiora Lissandra

Counters to Yasuo:

Annie Tryndamere Vladimir Renekton Azir Khazix Swain

Counters to Kalista:

Leblanc Lucian Leona Quinn Taric MasterYi Nautilus

Counters to Master Yi:

Jax Rammus Tryndamere Teemo MonkeyKing Ekko Shen

Counters to Fiora:

Evelynn Pantheon Jax Shen Singed Malphite

So maybe this got a few less people to quit whining about "OP" champions having zero counterplay.

3/4s of the champion pool counters Kat in lane. Countering something and knowing how to play the champ you are using to counter x champ with are two completely different things. Many counters hinge on the small details of the match up and if you are not good enough with that champ you will end up feeding the champion you counter. When this happens your teams chat will become very ugly, and you will not be having fun.

The amount of times I have gotten fed off of Lulu Lissandra and to a lesser extent Diana is off the charts. Do not pick a champion because it counters a champion, unless you can play the champion at a decent level.

A Karthus player is 100% better off picking Karthus into Katarina than picking a supposed Katarina counter he is not good at. FACT ! The Karthus player knows the match up very well, he knows his win conditions and how to play passively enough to win his lane by outscaling.

I like Ezreal against Vayne. Lulu andGnar are probably the biggest counters to Darius. Zed and Katarina are pretty good against Heimerdinger. I would go on with some others but I'm tired and want to sleep.

Shen to Master Yi , Swain to Yasuo and Naut to Kalista, are also huge counters

Although I do not agree with all these supposed counters I like the idea of a list of champions that can counter other champions.

Malphite counters Riven as well imo.

How does Aatrox counter Darius? Every time I've seen them go toe to toe Darius puts out way to much dmg for Aatrox to sustain through

So how does Riven counter Riven? I assume we were talking about Ranked games, since you can't counter pick in Blind

Cho should be included in the list for Riven. Basically, anyone with a reliable silence that can stop her combo for a moment can trade and back off, leaving Riven losing the trade because 3/4 of her damage was blocked in that period. I've fought Riven with various matchups and setups, started with frustration then I realized she shares the weakness of every hit-and-run traders in top lane i.e. Renekton JaxJayce who win trades by unloading a quick burst that's followed by a cc and/or a gap creator.

This way of functioning essentially gives them no counterplay from the enemy laner because in the time they're cc'd, the Riven/Renek/Jayce would've created a distance between them to safety (and that's after they've unloaded their burst on the enemy laner). Of course this is skill dependent on both sides, but on an average play level, there is pretty much no counterplay as long as they can land some rather easy to land skillshots on the enemy laner.

How this playstyle is countered in terms of champions, is relying on the fact that these skills are unleashed in a quick combo, which is why silences REALLY screw them up. They unload part of their damage, but can't finish the combo (including the cc/disengage) and that allows for retaliation by the enemy laner.

Or, another way is a hard engager that can reengage right after being cc'd, like XinZhao and Darius, where after taking Riven's full combo, can reengage and pump out even more damage to her, all while her stuff is on cooldown. You back off after doing 1/4 of my hp? I'ma pull you back and do 100% of your HP.

I'd like to disagree on Kat being a Heimer counter. Cause I fucked 2 Kats in the pussy in a row already tonight with Heimer. Unless they were shit, then please tell me how she counters him so I don't get suddenly rekt by a good one and not know why.
