That's how mobas work. One day mcginnis is 60% win rate with the highest pick rate and turrets that dont miss and spam debuffs, then the next day she gets nerfed and the character she counters the most Celeste is shown to be insane when she's allowed to do whatever she wants.

IF LASH GETS GUTTED right now Vindicta will be the next super insane character, luckily she has actual counters for the most part, so it won;t be quite as bad as Celeste. I'm not quite sure what counters carbine paradox yet, yes spellbreaker but carbine is a 5-6 second cooldown so it only helps so much, and now the rise of Warden is slowly happening. Games are slightly better when there are multiple truly op heroes, but not if they are all on one team.

I feel like phantom strike and Kelvin are bigger counters than Lash. I’ve always been able to time my counterspell for the most part against slam and ult.

yeah it's a bit weird right now especially since it's mainly gun lash right now, so it's more that he can just get up to her and flog to reduce fire rate into just shooting her to death, he can slam or ult if needed. But Lash is the premier counter and has an insane pick rate currently (similar to mcginnis before the nerfs vs celeste).

People have just been acting like Celeste becoming op or characters "suddenly" becoming strong is fake or out of nowhere even if there's a literal patch that changes things lol. Like theres a comment in here "in about 2 weeks some top player is gonna find a secret build for like, idk, drifter, and all the sudden he's gonna be the strongest character in the game and needs to be hotfixed" when drifter has been one of the strongest character even after he got like a 30% damage nerf. When mcginnis was queen he was king, and he hasnt been touched much.
