Unfortunately yo ucan't hold lane very long alone against those match ups if they are not punished for being ove aggressive. If you spend the laning phase getting bullied by zed or talon for instance, it's your jungler that isn't doing a good job at knowing when to gank. You either get killed or you're forced to base and eventually lose the first tier tower first and quite fast. That's why you shouldn't blind pick kassadin.

One tip I can give you is to max e against champs that typically have short rotations of spells such as zed or yasuo. The damage is slightly higher and the cd lower, and it helps you depush.
