Sun titan alll the titans and every creature that relies more on ETB effects .
Counter doesnt care what the card does. In a sense counterspell can deal with everything (apart from cant be countered spell) while take something like doomblade can only deal with a creature. Or shatter or neutalize.
COunter cards are inherently unbalanced because they can with a huge array of cards while most other removal has certain requirements
Counters also force you to do nothing in your first couple of turns. They force you to be reactive, all the time. They can also only be used against cards that are played, and there are many many ways to cheat creatures/spells into play.

I counter your cheat creatures/spells into play card.
Counterspells are not inherently unfair. Rather, counterspells are a necessary part of the game. If there were no counterspells, some decks would become much too powerful.
In the next core set, Blue will have it's Mana Leak again, and
1. Green will have no ramp
2. Black will have no removal
3. Red will have no burn
4. While will have no board stabilizer
That's what WotC want.
Oh, I'm sorry you feel that way about standard being slowed down so that games actually seem to hit turn 6.
Seriously, current standard (imo at least) is not in the best shape. Better then it was 18 months ago, but blue should never have a 3/2 flyer for U with no drawback, and the abiltiy to say no to everything in a permanent way for 1U.
Though that is just my opinion. I also saw targetted land destruction as a perfectly lyable budget way to deal with expensive mana bases, and think that a variable meta where homebrews can win FNMs is actually good. apparently I'm crazy.
Actually, I'm just mad that this isn't ravnica-timespiral standard or kamigawa-ravnica standard.;)
