Any sort of ranged burst is good against him, especially if there's cc with it. If you don't pick something with range you're kind of SoL, which while I personally dislike that, you can still just play passive as hell and only ever do something to him if you have a jungler with a ton of cc and burst to gank, or if you have a midlaner come up with the jungler if everyone is melee with meh cc.

Is he fair? Maybe not, but he's not exactly unbalanced either, and he certainly won't 1v5 unless he's just grossly fed.
