The "How to counter my main" thread

[quote=MyRepublic][[Ezreal]] Out range him. Don't expect to deny him though as he will just run in kill the minion wave and shift out. CC works on all champs unless they run cleanse or QSS (trollface.jpg) Don't try to trade with him early on unless you have your support with you and his support is not there as his burst at level 3 brings a nasus down to quarter HP. Counters: AD ranged counters: cait (she's an annoying bitch with her range), ashe can if you don't try to trade with him as he will rip your head off if you do, kog can shut down Ez pretty easily, but still watch out for that burst, corki is ezreal with a different skin... but will usually lose to a good ezreal because of arcane shift dodging most of your burst, and finally [[vayne]]... be careful with her, she does not dominate ezreal, she simply can get the better of him in skilled hands. CAN. Supports: [[Taric]] his stun will shut him down if he ever tries to attack you and can even secure you a kill on him, although he has a built in flash so don't count on keeping him where you want him, Soraka more for you than him as he has amazing poke with his q and even with his w at early levels as he can shoot it through minions. Volibear can tear Ez up and his flip cancels ezreal's arcane shift if done simultaneously.[/quote]

[quote=Crows foot]I have to say I main Kata now, and I don't really see cc counter her hard at all. Not if she plays smart. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/hraufnir/pskata20.png Check that enemy cc... I can counter morgs ulti every time, a ward and shunpo and she is not working against me. I can shunpo more often than she can q. Only her ulti can cancel mine, and the hit plus channeltime of hers is longer than mine if she doesn't react instantly when I go in. Oh, and I just wait out Ali and Blitz CC and I'm fine. Somehow my champ just went on channeling my ulti during Blitz ulti.[/quote]

[quote=Decimater]Swain is my main. I play him in top lane or mid. Champions with good cc(silence and stun) and greater harass range make laning difficult with him. For example in mid, I usually have a rough time with Brand (if I want to land a torment for harass he can punish me with dmg and stun harder). High mobility also mmakes your life easier against swain. If I can't land my skill shot snare, I can't move in for a kill. I'm stuck harassing with my Torment. Kassadin is a good example of a champ that does this, to swain and many other ap mids. On top I find Swain much more effective against the average champions. Most melees don't have a chance. Something that works though are similar mid range bruisers, that have a stronger early game. Pre-6 Swain has no sustain, and I rely on scaring my oponent off with superior dmg. Very easy to do vs melee because they get snared on approach and melted from mid range. If you can survive my combo early game and trade, I can't sustain so I will be vulnerable. Additionally early in lane phase, if you can trade with swain or bait him to use his root often it really drags on his mana. Swain relies on last hits for mana, and it takes time to fill back up after aggressive trading. In team fights the best ways to counter are silences and stuns. If you get one of those on Swain before he gets his ultimate on, he's cooked. His tankyness relies on his ultimate, and thats how players build him. Against a cc heavy team it forces me to build quss or else die early everytime I am initiated on by a cc. Also, ignite him whenever you decide to focus him down. It greatly reduces the healing his ult does, although it can be removed by qss aswell.[/quote]
