Well really, it's not like slow is not counterable. There's tenacity from masteries, items and consumables which can cut the duration down to ~41% (~1s slow duration). And there's swiftness from masteries, items and consumables which can cut the potency down to ~57%.

With proper preparation and build choices that 7.5 seconds continuous 99% slows becomes a mere one-second 60% slow that can't be recast before 2 seconds pass.

I do realize that not every champ can go deep in the defense tree. Elixir of Iron and mercury's treads or Zephyr is something that every champion can do though. So I doubt you should fear the 99% slow that much.
