Best Counters to Liang
Why These Counters Work
- • Assassins and divers close the gap before Zhang Liang can channel his suppression ult.
- • Purify and control-immune frames negate his primary teamfight tool.
- • Poke mages outrange him in lane and force him to burn skills on waves.
Common Mistakes
- • Walking in a straight line toward him without baiting Skill 2 walls.
- • Engaging 5v5 while his ultimate is available and your carry has no Purify.
- • Letting him roam unpunished after a failed gank — take plates or invade.
