has plenty of hard crowd control as Mega Gnar, has a blind, which is hard CC, and  is melee, and so shouldn't even factor in this discussion. All of these champions have far more damage than my version of Cassiopeia in lane, far more resilience (even Teemo is tougher than her) and often far stronger and easier poke. You seem to be under the impression that point-and-click abilities carry no counterplay, but that's not how counterplay works.
