The game can never be truly balanced, and thus nerfs and buffs are all simply means to make the game more "stabalizing", but not really putting it on a state of equilibrium.

Anyway, the best way to counter champions is to study the skills and effects of their skills and passive, and buy items aginst their strengths accordingly. The enemy has skillshots? Buy Boots instead of a Doran's. (And walk a lot.) The enemy has lots of CC? Upgrade boots to Mercury's Treads or get Quicksilver Sash. The enemy is stacking armor? Buy Liandry's/Black Cleaver depending on your champion. Against a hypercarry? Grab Thornmail. (If you're a tank/bruiser, that is.) Annoying mage always sniping you down? Wards. Well, actaully, you should buy wards no matter who you're playing as. Makes for good games.

Anyway, I'm probably no better than the guy next to me, but I guess this will be of some advice.

Some.
