These lines come from rules over Riot's ability text (Data Dragon, patch 16.21.1), written for each pair. They explain a matchup. They are not win rates and not advice on what to pick.

Quick answers

Where do these counters come from?

From rules over the champions' own ability text, for example a hard crowd control that stops a dash. Each line names the rule in plain words.

Are these win rates?

No. There is no win rate, pick rate or ranking on this page. A matchup also depends on the players, the lane and the items.

Where is the full list for one champion?

Open the champion and choose Matchups: it lists the champions by class and lane, with the item answers for each.
