Not necessarily. For starters, not everyone has a viable cleanse champion. Even if they did, having to build a composition specifically to counter one single champion is ludicrous. Makes you strong against Hegemon, but potentially weak against other compositions. That's not a smart move if you want to be top-tier competitive in arena.
Secondly, there are some players who have instead chosen to focus on pure damage with Hegemon. So, instead of a ton of accuracy, they put cruel sets on him and load him up with tons of damage. I once had one that nearly one-shot two of my champions.
No matter what counters you make, he is still broken and gives a HUGE advantage when geared properly.

But back to the topic at hand... I have to agree with a previous post that said this is coming off as a bait and switch. Your company SHOULD have tested this champion in advance, and anyone with even half a brain could've looked at his kit beforehand and saw it was OP. With previous underhanded actions by this company (ex. Foli), I would not be the least bit surprised if this was intentional - to bait people with a powerful new champion, all to later destroy him after they have started wasting their money.
But anyway, based on the legality and morality of it, it's a bit late to be changing him now. Roshcard is OP, Hegemon is god-broken, and now Tormin is another addition.
How about instead of worrying about nerfing the new guy before he even gets fully tested, go put your focus on balancing all the garbage you've pumped out as of late, or even better, the champions that have been around for a year plus now that are garbage? When you have legendaries (that based on average prices of shards, cost upwards of $400 each, let alone $200+ worth of tomes and other items to max them) that are more worthless than some rares, and your company ignores it for months upon months, something is SERIOUSLY wrong there.
People get bored because they have to play the SAME champions over and over due to a horrible lack of balance. The only thing that makes people quit more than boredom is the absurd prices. Your company has all their priorities completely wrong. Whoever is running things over there needs to be replaced with someone more competent. Just being honest. Look around the web or any ALL content creators and you'll see this to be true.
