Those are the risks indeed. You'll have to play around that if you want to win. For example, if you get one good initiation (EQW stun) on Cass at level 5 (or maybe even at level 3 or 4), you can finish her off and try to snowball ahead. If you're a gambler (or got insanely fast reaction times), you might even want to try to flash behind her when she ults. For Kassadin, go in between level 3 and level 5 when he tries to last-hit. He can't stop your dashes anymore since his rework.

Against someone like Liss or Morg... Just hope you can 100-0 them while they can't 100-0 you, and if you can't try to roam bot lane and get a bunch of doubles to snowball from.
