Milio is the newest champion released in LoL. While he’s not necessarily the most broken release of recent times (Aurelion Sol on release beat him hands down), he has been doing quite well considering players had to spend time mastering him.
He received a small hotfix that made him less oppressive, but players have quickly found out why he’s a strong pick currently. Not only is he a great enchanter for hypercarries in the current meta, but most importantly he has the Cozy Campfire (W) that increases all his allies’ attack range. Whether it’s for lane trading or teamfights, it’s a powerful tool to not underestimate.
For those reasons, Milio can be an oppressive or annoying presence, to the point where he is banned. When that is not the case, however, it’s important to know which are the best champions to counter Milio, so you don’t waste a ban on a champion that is not a top-tier priority in the patch.
To help you out, we’ve created a list of the best counters to beat Milio. We will be explaining why they are strong against him, and some of the potential tricks to nullify his presence. Make also sure to check out all the other counter lists in the future, so you know what to play against most League champions in the game.
Based on the current meta, Bard is the best support you can play to counter Milio. He has multiple tools to counter Milio, especially early on thanks to his roaming potential.

While Bard doesn’t really counter Milio kit-wise, the champion’s main strength lies in the ability to impact the map a lot more in the first 15-20 minutes of the game. As an enchanter, Milio is usually forced to stay in the lane to protect its ADC. And even if he can move to other lanes, he will rarely have much agency on plays, aside from providing good peeling.
Bard, on the other hand, can become a big point of pressure by quickly moving across lanes and giving other lanes an advantage. This can be done alone or in coordination with the jungler, leading to potential dives and ganks from unexpected positions or timings.
Not to mention that Bard can counter Milio in the teamfight by locking him down with the ultimate. Since Tempered Fate will stun the targets for long enough, Milio can become an easy target to burst down, even if he has the ultimate ready.

If you dislike playing enchanter or ranged supports, then Blitzcrank is the best melee champion to counter Milio.

There is a special interaction that great Milio players can abuse and that is the fact that they can stomp enemies from engaging with hooks by using the Ultra Mega Fire Kick (Q) mid-dash. By doing so, he can interrupt their engage and also apply great damage.
Blitzcrank, however, is different from the rest of the hook champions. This is because he casts the hook and brings the targets toward him, rather than the other way around. As a result, it makes Milio’s Q useless.
Paired with his great single-target crowd control chain with his E and R, Blitzcrank and his team can blow Milio up before he can cast any spell. On top of that, he can also potentially negate the Cozy Campfire’s (W) buff by hooking the enemies out of Milio’s zone.
If you want to play an aggressive support, then Blizcrank is the way to go.
If you’re looking to play a more defensive playstyle, you can also use Braum to beat Milio.
Not only do you neutralize his Q but you also have plenty of crowd controls to lock him down. Even if he cleanses one with the ultimate, you will always have a secondary CC ready (whether it’s the passive or the ultimate). Additionally, Braum can block most of the enemy ADC’s damage, even if Milio uses his W to increase the attack range.
With Braum, the 2v2 in the bottom lane will likely be in your favor: take advantage of that to build a lead and snowball the game.

By constantly poking and pushing waves during the early game, you can deny lots of farm to the enemy bot lane and Milio won’t be able to prevent that from happening. While Milio can get stronger during the later stages, Karma still brings lots of value thanks to her shields and movement speed.

If you’re tired of playing the same support champions, Poppy is the off-meta pick that you can use to surprise the enemies.
Poppy’s main strength lies in her ability to lock down but also displace targets with her E. By moving out the allies from Milio’s campfire, the enemy will lose a lot of sustain and damage output. On top of that, Poppy can remove Milio from the fights with her ultimate, completely negating his healing and peeling potential. It’s not an easy pick to learn and master in the support role, but it can be that trump card you want to have in key matches.
