Have we? I don’t recall this ever being promised. @Sirrian stated that counters weren’t his preferred solution to a stale meta.

> More counters… I generally dislike heavy-handed counters that make something completely obsolete, so don’t expect any of those any time soon. And while we DO have some more counters on the way, because more variety is good, I don’t feel these are a real solution to the problem, because (while I personally enjoy countering teams), many of our players do not seem to find enjoyment in that, which is fine.

“Investigating if it’s possible” is certainly not a promise.
