Zigg's spells can be dodged as easily by Cassio as he dodges her spells. That encounter definitely depends on player skill.

Lux: counters anyone who is strong from afar, if played well.

Zed: a butcher! - I hate to play against him. :)

Whom I never encountered yet with Cassio: Kayle, TF, Annie(not with Cassio afair)...

Maybe your problem is that you actually try to EEEEE. Call me whatever you want for what I gonna tell you now: I soon stopped maxing E and relied on zoning enemies with Q and W.

If you say, you are countered by everyone, then try a different approach and lay more emphasis on landing her skillshots over her targeted spell. Keep in mind: if the general idea is to max E as your main source of damage, then your enemy knows it as well!

Perhaps that's why I had kinda balanced games with Cassio and did not complain about "too many counters": because I did not max E first as "everyone else". I stay back, harrass with Q, zone with W and in most cases this forces the enemy to either retreat under their turret to be able to farm or to engage.

That's why melees indeed have the best chances to counter Cassio and I can also imagine that target-spell champs like Kayle and TF probably are hard to beat, as well.

"I just think that you don't get properly rewarded for landing your poison"

Wrong. You get more rewards for your poison than just a refreshing E. Each successful hit with Q grants you a free escape to reposition. All of a sudden Cassio actually becomes mobile.
