User blog:ObsidianLazarus/Who counters the counter...men.

Everyone has a counter, mostly. For example, Kassadin is one of the best counters to almost all mids. Very few AP caster mids can deal with him after level 6. Talon is a great counter to Kassadin as he won't proc his passive, and is basically an AD Kass.

Who counters the most people?

I believe Udry has the most counters. While other melee champs suffer this problem, I see him as the most easily kited during combat. Any champion with any kind of ranged attack can kite him, hell, even Shen's short range poke can kite.

I think that Vlad has the least amount of counters. He has almost unlimited lane sustain, gets hp from ap and vice versa, and has a move that makes him untargetable. Champions with high damaging ults that are nukes, such as Lux, Karthus and Ziggs, will miss if he pools. Champions that can't poke him down early game will find a lane that, once he gets Hextech Revolver, will literally never leave unless ganked.

As I stated before, I believe Kassadin counters the most people. His ability to rift in, silence, slow, and back away with little to no rebuttal from the lane. Just about everyone who's an AP caster will have problems if they don't lane him before level 6. And when he does hit level 6, you better believe he's rift walking away from any chase you may have. If you can't burst, you're not going to get him.

These are obviously mostly general. A good Udyr will deal with kiting and use the bush to his advantage, a good Lux/Ziggs will bait Vlad into using his pool earlier, and a good mid will get an advantage over Kass so he won't have enough gold to be a threat.
