Table of Counter Formations - What to use?

[Diegito]

sometimes i have used "counter formation".
but i have a question,something that i still havent understood about that "logic".
why should i try "counter" the opponent`s formation and not the opponent mine?
why should we try to "counter" other player formation and not just put our team players in a formation which we like to play ?
and afteral we all know that NGE is "crazy",why should we bother think about "counter formation" etc etc?.....

the whole point of countering a formation is to maximise your winning chance. If you let opponents counter your formation, you are putting yourself at a disadvantages.
IRL, lots of teams play with only 1 main formation and do not counter opponents formation, so in game it's entirely up to you.

For example, you are comfortable playing 3-5-2, your opponent is comfortable playing 4-5-1v.
By not switching to a formation with DLDR, you've been countered by your opponent and he didn't even have to do anything, just playing his usual formation and exposing your 2 flanks
