On the second comment: I don't believe counter picking should be a main drive. And not everyone CAN play every position. Example: I can play all but ADC. My support, I am amazing. I have most the champions, but if you stick me in the ADC position, I WILL fail. I try, but I fail. Every other position, I have at least 3. Should I suffer and lose for the team cause of my inability to play one role, and no one else wanted it? No. And do I need to be able to ADC to play support well? No. I UNDERSTAND the role perfectly, just under your requirements, I need to be able to play the role.

On counter picking specifically: As I said, I own most the champs. I don't play them all, obviously. Should I be forced to play, lets say Ryze, just cause he's a good counter to their mid, when... I'm more comfortable with about 5 others? I think not... In fact, I've been stuck with people who drive champ select with counterpick nonsense, not paying any attention to what is already picked, and what others said they can do. Don't focus counterpick, focus comp and comfort.
