I guess it's maybe my ELO, but I can't remember seeing anyone except myself actively using items to counter my lane.

Part of what made me feel hard counters don't exist, is also that I outlaned some champions that were supposed to counter me, I think. Like, I outlaned Teemo with Nasus (also happened the other way around, Nasus outlaned my Teemo), I outlaned Singed with Jax twice (don't see why that'd be a counter, but I heard it), I outlaned a Yorick with my sustainless Riven just today in blind pick (well, outlane is a big word, just farm and shield + health pot his harras until he was oom, then go in), I outlaned a Renekton with Riven (or am I wrong? thought he was meant to counter her...), and the list goes on. I can only think of two reasons that I have something like 75% of my lanes won. Either the items I buy, or that I take exhaust + ignite nearly every time. First sounds most likely to me.
