I do wish to point out, a hard engage isn't a form of counterplay of a poke. Counterplay is more as, what they do at this moment, what options exist that I can do to either lessen the blow, negate the affect, or counter attack. A hard engage doesn't fall under it.

Also, it just happens that most poke champions aren't great at direct confrontation. But the strategy of pokes isn't actually a direct result of not being able to fight back hard engages.
