#counter picking

     However, before I send curious minds off to see what their favorite champions counter and who counters them, I want to make a few things relatively clear. First off, you should always pick a champion you're comfortable with and never go straight for a counter unless you're comfortable with said counter. For example, let's take Ahri. She can do fairly well against Karthus with her burst while Ryze is fairly even. The difference is you've played as Ahri maybe once or twice compared to Ryze's 100 games. Long story short, just choose Ryze. It's not worth it picking a champ you have little experience with just to be able to say you counter-picked. Second, don't freak out if you've been countered yourself. Taking a deep breath and remembering what gives them the edge so that you can nullify it is the best way to deal with it. Now that you have those in mind, go learn up on counters here:
