She troubles the heck outta me even when i use a perfect counter . Time and time again she has proven to be deadly on defence and with crit RNG a godly attacker as well . Share your crazy Domino interactions

Once I won with Spidey Stark against her.
Hope you have him on your roster
Some against legends and with about 90% damage.
A few kind folks have tried to teach me the way of the SP1 dex but it'll still take some time before I can do it comfortably.
Kingpin: basically anyone that doesn't rely on debuffs for their damage
For thing: pick a champ with good consistent dmg (over burst dmg as thing's protection will tank big hits). Then its just about managing rock stacks, which is fairly easy (count the rock stacks). He throws sp1s quite readily anyway. If you reach 15 stacks before he gets to bar of power, don't panic, just hit his block - dash back - hit block - repeat until he gets to sp1. If he isn't stun immune, you can even parry him while he is unstoppable and land a light attack during the stun (to get him to sp1 quicker).
For Kingpin: pick a champ that does not rely on debuffs for dmg. Then just bait sp1s and intercept. Don't push him to sp2s though, that's probably the only thing to manage in the fight.
For me, the most annoying champions are ones (to use a Seatin quote) that deal "fun and interactive damage". It's the fact that your abilities fail unless you bring a handful of counters, then you can take massive damage, that she can evade and counter with lightening speed (and can reduce the ability accuracy of many effects that counter evade), has really respectable damage and other offensive stats, can make your champ lose a ton of abilities/positive stats, has power gain mechanics, and overall just provides an unreliable fight. You can't rely on parries, solid damage, completing a combo, your abilities, not losing tons of hp even when you haven't taken a hit or a blocked hit, etc. She also has some (personally) quick mechanics that are more difficult than most defenders to anticipate or track, especially with the double hit first M (which increases the difficulty of properly timing a parry).
Other honorable mentions include Korg (complex fight, lots of difficult to avoid damage, even if you don't get hit), Man Thing, Sinister, Mephisto, etc. I wouldn't really include the very new champs in an "all time greats" list yet, but Abs man and Spidey supreme might rank up there for me. I only ever got his sp1 dex down because I dexed way earlier than I meant to, but somehow fit perfectly into the proper timing window. Ever since then, I just have gotten into the habit of dashing back (what feels like) basically as soon as he finishes his first kick. The animations of the energy blasts are totally unhelpful for timing it out. Lol it's much more like Electro than Magik.
My bad if that came across totally differently.
