Zhonyas particularly counters a set few people that have:

1) An easily telegraphed ult that has a large window

2) The need to be in melee range for the ult

3) A not tanky kit

Because these people stand to lose the most when you activate Zhonyas since they are fully committed and the large window allows for people to use Zhonya's to counter effectively 90% of the time.

The only people that fall into this category are Fiora, Katarina and Zed, except Zed's is single target. If an enemy uses Zhonyas against Fiora or Katarina, they still damage any surrounding enemies that don't have Zhonyas.
