Err no, there still would. She would still lack counterplay. She would just also be worthless.

And no, she still doesnt have. By that logic Morgana is counterplay, right? Wrong. The idea of counterplay is you being able to do something about the enemy AFTER the game has started, and to be able to do it consistently. Perfect example: Zed. Zed has an exceptionally powerful ultimate. HOWEVER, it also has great counterplay. You can distance yourself from him and avoid some of his damage. You can CC him and prevent some of his damage. You can kite him and beat him while getting less damage than you usually would. And if all of that wasnt enough, you can use QSS and stop his ult damage. There is power, and there is counterplay. In case of Vi, its not so much. She ults you and bursts you down to 30%, or 45% if you have barrier/heal. Now you are slowed, have shredded armor, and she is hasted. Your options are: 1. Die, 2. Run away. After running away, your options are 1. Try fighting/kiting and die 95% of the time (unless Vi is bad) or 2. Keep running and dont come back to the fight in time. In other words, in a condensed version, unless Vi seriously screws up, your options are 1. Die, or 2. Dont die but be out of the fight and irrelevant. This is lack of counterplay.
