I am a big fan of Lux, and her snare is a great counter to these champs. Also her range is superior to LeBlanc, Fizz, Kassadin, ... I just get boots two health and one mana pot and make sure I harass them and snare them when they harass. Ryze has a snare too, so does Zyra, Swain, Viktor has his big field of nope-zone. Playing these spells defensively helps you survive.

Also, getting Chalice is awesome. MR and endless mana (kinda) keeps you going.

Another thing about Lux, after 6 when you hit your snare combo him back to his platform. Even if it doesn't kill, whatever, they're scared and have to recall. Same goes for Zyra, Viktor. Assasins need the plays to win, and if they make that one fault you should seize the opportunity.

After reflecting about this, I think laning this is a mere competition of skill.. Katarina isn't dangerous lategame when you denied her early game.
