Nice guide but it needs more information. For example you wrote that to counter gangplank you need stacking armor and constantly harras him, but it can work only vs critplank maxing Q. I play gp bruiser W>E>Q and it very hard to make me recall because oranges OP! And actually I usualy make
tons of magic damage(Like 43% magic and 57 physical)

Kata didn't counter swain back then and she does it even less now. She can't lane against him pre-6 in any way or shape, Swain will never be able to push the lane and she can't farm unless she uses Q (since shunpo makes her eat ****) which pushes the lane slowly, allowing him full control. Post-6 he needs to mess it up hard, she doesn't have 100-0 potential by herself.

Fizz is a skill matchup for swain.

If you want real counters you should look at champions with reliable low CD shields and/or good kiting. Karma, Lulu, Anivia, Orianna all screw Swain up his birdhole.

Also the lack of chesterino photo updates from the OP makes me sad ._.

Amazing guide, nice work :)

No nidalee in tier list?

I made this guide 2 years ago, it's still kinda outdated and the update progress is really slow :P

Ahha, that was so funny...
Srsly no Orianna? Twitch T3? And so on... U must kiddin mon :D
Gettin diamond w Yi?

Stuff me no likey: I seriously do not think that Katarina is tier 3, at least tier 2 in my opinion. Ahri and Viktor though while played well can counter Katarina, there are better counters for Katarina and those two can be counter-played. I suggest replacing them with LeBlanc and Fizz (Others can be Diana, Malzahar, Ziggs etc..) You also forgot to point out that early game bullying can also shut down Katarina for a while making her unable to roam and COMPLETELY snowball.

Stuff me likey: Great effort put into the guide, minor errors, and you put exhaust as a counter for Katarina ( so underrated vs her =_=). Most of the stuff that I didn't like were all just about Katarina because she is my main. Great guide, hope to see it completed.

(sorry about being so biased on Katarina :c )

PS: Add Katarina top please ^_^

Really useful guide man. I do wonder though why Nidalee isn't listed in the soloq tier list? Honestly she is really broken, and at least a tier 2 Mid, if not higher.

Here's my 2 cents!
Speaking of Blitz, Ez is a good counterpick because even if he's grabbed he has time to dodge it with his `E`
Daruis counters Rene. Same as skilled Irellia who knows how to lane vs Rene.
Darius counters Malph and Shen. Actually, these guys can't even come to the minions to get some last hits.
Irellia counters Pantheon really good. The only problem for her is reaching lvl 6, because Panth dominates her first 5 lvls, but his ulti is kinda useless in 1 v 1 combat, so Ire takes her advantage.

if Graves gets countered by long range then shouldn't Kog'Maw be on the list of champs that counter him? I mean he has probably got the longest range in the league o.0

Yeah, please refresh, dude!! Really liked your guide, but it's pretty outdated since new champs etc...

Renekton is one of my main champions and I always seem to have a difficult time facing a Wukong that builds tanky. Might be a counter, but I'm not sure if it's proven. Also, I've gone 6-0 (yes, i count) against Riven tops using Renekton. Maybe I'm just lucky, but I don't see it as a good kit for a counter.
