That's right; practically speaking, hard counters do not exist. However, there are specific skillsets that champions are designed with so they can fit nicely into a given situation. Such champions with specific items often prove to be a counter to that specific situation, and not a given enemy champion. Therefore, you can counter a champion's setup (that is, skill choice and items), but not the champion itself. In other words, yes, this is true - at least in my opinion.
