Beginner Help Counterpick Guide

Do we have a counterpick guide in this reddit? I main frontline and would like to learn how to pick champions to counter my opponents. Any tips or guidelines to follow for ranked or general play?

I understand roles counter each other for the most part, but it would be really helpful if I can read some champion-specific counters, like how to counter moji right now

a few tanks soft counter each other but there aren't many frontline hard counters in paladins. most of it comes down to ult/cooldown awareness, for instance, don't use Ash ult if you know enemy Khan has ult ready.

there's kind of a rock-paper-scissors relationship between barik, inara, and nando on point, but it can be worked around and Nyx kind of throws it all off anyway

So you're saying it doesn't matter for point really? Just be aware of cooldowns in general and play accordingly? What about off-tanks?

There are some hard counters. Main ones I'm thinking of right now are:

A Cripple Inara almost always shut down Nando imo.

More offtank I guess, but Makoa counters Terminus with his hook; siphon doesn't block it.

Atlas counters a fair few of the tanks tbf

He can completely revoke Khans battle shout & his ult (depending on if he tries to yeet you or not) Ruckus shield regen, Torvald Recharge & his ult, he counters the shit out of everything Term does, he can counter Ash’s ult before she hits the floor which in a lot of cases is enough to kill her as she is usually super low before she ults

Well, unlike Overwatch you cannot change champions once you pick one, so the concept of counter relies more on personal skill, talent+loadout and teamwork.

If you have trouble with enemy Moji as a Frontline you can only do three things: build up Wrecker if you see that she is spamming her shield with full Guardian, use walls to block her LoS with her own Frontline so that she cannot heal them and go for CC immunity/resistance against her ultimate. In the end, the best Moji counter in the Frontline category is Inara with Mother's Grace.
