You answered your question, it's lethality that doesn't make it work. Technically it should work otherwise. has sustain and long distance poking power. It's just that lethality and makes his sustain feel very miniscule given that he shreds right through it all. actually performs worse because he has no sustain at all.

Champions who can beat him have a ridiculous amount of control with an ability they do have. is an example of this given that literally even see her to even shoot at her. is also quite difficult to deal with given that it allows her to slap him freely every time she jumps in. Main thing that makes better than someone like  is that she actually has sustain.

Otherwise, counterpicks are fairly scarce. Even though there are champions that can greatly reduce his overall performance, still manages to perform well enough to make the matchup even. Overall, having a team with a very large amount of control, regardless if it's crowd control, invincibility, etc., will be imperative for taking him down.

In that regard, the standard mega tanks,, , and , would be good for mid game. Of course given the nature of lethality alongside, the early game can be rough--which sways this either way depending on how well these champions survive. is an extremely good investment for these champions.
