Only issue this matchup is does your ADC have a death wish.

Counterplay: Mercury's Treads rush. dont get stunned with passive for free. wait until his W is down. Peel for your team, dont let him passive stun your team. You can tank more.
Camille
Only issue about Camille is her E cancel, you must get used to it. yes its possible to cancel.
Counterplay: Dodge W. Cancel E with your Q. After 6 W her away ult zone.
Fiddlesticks
Counterplay: Mercury's Treads rush. Optional AP antiheal (as he doesn't auto you). After your ADC 5/0 in lane because of trollpick support, ward bushes before roaming so ADC wont throw a game to Fiddlesticks support ult.

Janna
Ban.
Alistar's counter.
Overloaded. Usually played by E-Kittens or L9 fanboys who think they're doing good but in reality they just press no CD 500HP shield on ADC with 100 AD buff (XD)
Counterplay: Surprise engage as Janna cant instantly tornado your flash+W. Peel. Play around tornado CD.
Karma
ADC IQ TEST MATCHUP.
Alistar's counter. Karma is weak rn.
Counterplay: Mercury's Treads rush.
Dont eat poke. Karma is good at poke/disengage but loses VS good engages into burst. Dont get hit by W. Beware your W has less range than her W so she still can root you after knock back.

Leona
ADC IQ TEST MATCHUP.
Its fine dying in lane this matchup.
Counterplay: Mercury's Treads rush. Only issue about Leona is that you lose every all in lvls1,2,3,6 as she has Alistar ultimate on 10 seconds CD W skill.
Zone her. Peel. Dont fight as she will win most of all ins. Care of her 2 seconds Q stun and passive damage early. Can W her under tower but she probably will live because of Alistar ult on W.
