^ yeah AOE mages are best at facing him in lane, malzahar, ziggs, brand, syndra, stuff like that... Those mages who often go support, but have some AOE, like Lux, Morganna, etc.. are also very safe farmers and can work well against him.

The few assassins who have decent aoe farming moves like zed or talon can also at least hold their own enough to farm (though not win unless they get good ganks on him... they should be trying to farm closer to their turret and make him overextend so he is more vulnerable)... Assassins especially should be very careful about trying to mess with him, as he really specifically counters them in fights unless you can catch him away from his turrets and with his ult down.

Melee are pretty much boned though. If you are facing him top, all you really can do is try and force him to go far up to your tower, try and hold your own farming near it as best you can without dying, and hope the jungler helps you (Nasus is a good pick top, he can farm for a long time under his turret very safely, another okay pick against him is Singed).
