Who counters Briar and who Briar beats

Briar is terrifying once she is on top of you, but she has glaring holes. She has zero health regen, so anything that stops her from landing autos starves her of the healing she needs to live. Her frenzy chases the nearest enemy on its own, which means a clever opponent can bait her into the wrong target or into a wall of crowd control. She is also committed the moment she engages, with Head Rush as her only real gap closer and no clean escape if the dive goes wrong. To beat Briar, kite her, blind or disarm her so her bleed and lifesteal dry up, lock her down with crowd control while she is overextended, or simply out scale and out sustain her in a longer fight. Grievous wounds and slows are brutal against her, and so is anyone who can punish her the second her frenzy sends her the wrong way.
