I am looking for something to boost my counters beatdown deck. I am running green and black
If you splash white, you could do Ajani, Caller of the Pride . Check out my deck deck:palisade-deflection and plz comment and+1.

Oh, okay. I've been brainwashed to automatically assume 'counters' means Mana Leak

Black and/or Green Planeswalkers do very little in the way of +1/+1 counters.
If you insist on using a Planeswalker, I would probably suggest either Liliana of the Veil for her low CMC and ability to remove creatures, or Garruk, Primal Hunter for his ability to generate creatures, plus his card drawing. ... Even if you're not specifically looking at Standard, I would still suggest these two.
It's hard to say if one is better than the other without seeing the deck.

Your using proliferate right? Vraska the Unseen and Liliana of the Veil are amazing especially with counters!

I suppose I could but is proliferate a standard thing? I have never been able manage to pull a Vraska the Unseen at a draft yet.

Proliferation went out with Scars block.
None of the Green and/or Black Planeswalkers currently do anything with +1/+1 counters.
Perhaps, instead, what you need is more counter support, like Increasing Savagery .

I'm guessing that this B/G counters deck of yours is Golgari Scavenge? With Slitherhead , Corpsejack Menace , etc?
If so, one Increasing Savagery might be nice, but there aren't particularly any plansewalkers that focus on counters. But there are certainly good ones in your colours, such as the above Liliana of the Veil , Garruk, Primal Hunter and Vraska the Unseen . Garruk Relentless Flip is another option as its splashable and has nifty abilities (I like his fourth one), but I think the advice mentioned above is more clued in to what would be most effective.
