He has such a long lasting counter and his stand makes him way too strong

cause of Arsene..he hits waaay to hard then, so you should really avoid him or attack him from far until he runs out of Arsene!
i know the feel though..it's such a pain fighting Joker especially with characters who can only attack up close x.x

It also pisses me off whenever I'm playing online and I have like 1,000,000 gsp than my opponent. I just get bodied the entire match and it just feels bad

If you run into an opponent who likes to use his counter a lot, one thing you can do to beat it is predict when he'll next use it and charge a Smash Attack. You can hold the charge longer then Joker can hold his counter, then punish the end lag of reaction. When you're less sure and want to chose a safer option, counters also lose to grabs.
