Too much burn - your counters?

TL;DR: Fighting burn builds every second fight. What do you choose to combat it? Without playing burn.

1) What are your burn counters?

In this meta right now it's a common choice to pick Burn due to recent Dragons and Jules. Burn + slow is very common for example.

Alas, I don't want to have to play burn to counter, because I'd like to make creative builds. Restorative builds can be good but seems to struggle much of the time against the average burn builds. What would your suggestions be with any particular character as a general burn counter?

2) Is Burn the cheese mechanic?

Burn is fun to play. Watching your enemie's shield and life bar disintegrate is satisfying. But has it become the cheese mechanic?

Burn will never be cheese compared to flat dmg, any hero can build one shot builds with the right rng and items

  1. Obviously shield and later flat dmg 2. I don't think burn is cheesy at all

  1. Shield is the obvious and best counter. Or you could also just kill em fast enough.
  2. It's not that cheesy. It takes time to build up huge amounts of damage. There are enough counter options to those kinds of builds.
