When counterspelled, even if it succeeds, you can still move and take a bonus action. Your opponent has no reaction left, which is significant for a BBEG, and has burned at least a third level spell slot, often higher. All that happened is your spell got blocked.What about when a fighter waits fifteen minutes for their turn only to have their attacks stopped by a shield spell? Or the many, many other ways plans get foiled? Those are all part of the challenge, and the challenge is what makes it fun. As DM, I think it is great when the players manage a clutch counterspell, and I sell it hard.</blockquote>
