Here we are again with counters.

If you're having trouble with your lane, and assuming you haven't died, then ask help from your jungler. All the heroes you mentioned are high-burst, mobility AP carries (or assassins). Granted there are some matchups that aren't favorable (such as using a skillshot based character against a Katarina, or a Leblanc against anyone), doesn't mean that you shouldn't in all your ability try to let that guy snowball just because he's countered you.

If you're queueing solo, pick solid mid carries. One that has either mobility (Zed, Leblanc, Katarina, Twisted Fate), Tankiness (Swain, Galio, RoAnivia, Morgana), CC (lots to choose from here, Zyra, Lux, Morgana), extremely high damage that you can shut down the other AP (pick any assassin), or late game utility (Orianna etc.)

It's just a matter of finding out how you can play to your strengths to win the GAME and not YOUR LANE. For example, fighting a Kassadin? Push the lane heavily then try ganking top or bot. As far as I know Kassadin isn't a champ that can push very well. Fighting a Katarina? Get RoA, or Merc Treads (if you're AD based). Fighting a Fizz? Make him commit and ask the jungler to gank.

All I'm trying to point out is you have to play to your strengths. If you can't win your lane, help the other lanes do. At least they're getting stronger. And don't feed.
