that's why there are champs that could counter these assasins early on... like for example khazix > kassadin... kassadin > katarina... chog > fizz... its about thinking and knowing what champ to use against these champs that are difficult to lane with. i think riot made many champs so that you could think of ways to counter them... also other strategies such as adr and support could go middle lane to out harass and out zone champs that counterpicked you. JUNGLERS... another point that could give an answer to your oh so difficult problem... ask for a gank if you got counter picked... or play passive and just cs... 21 cs equals a champion kill. go wraiths if you have to so that later on you can engage these annoying champs with the items you now possess.
