The best counter items against Holliday are Return Fire, Fleetfoot and Disarming Hex, with Return Fire yielding the strongest results. Return Fire is a warning sign when Holliday has to keep shooting into someone who can throw that pressure back. Fleetfoot changes the weapon trade, making simple duels harder for Holliday. Disarming Hex is a major problem because it can shut down a key play right when Holliday wants to start or finish a fight. Most top-performing counter purchases are spirit items that disrupt Holliday's ability timings, cleanse debuffs, and mitigate damage in team fights.

Holliday is not going to feel the same in every rank. In some brackets, players may give cleaner openings and let Holliday stay active in fights. In tougher games, enemies are more likely to respect Holliday's timing, group better, and shut the play down before Holliday gets full value. The strongest read is not just where Holliday has the highest win rate, but where the results stay consistent across enough matches.
