Yorick. The champions that counter him in lane are basically champions that can stay alive against him in lane (Cho, Aatrox, Trundle). He has so much damage and sustain he makes laning fase a living nightmare.

Renekton. He is literally made for killing people early in lane. If he gets a Hydra first item he is even worse.

Swain. Most people know mid Swain whose early game suffers a lot because of his absence of sustain and low range spells plus horrible farming capabilities. However, against melee champions, Swain E+Autoattack hits for a truckload of damage with little counterplay. The second he gets Q, E+Q with autos in there mean a third of the life of anyone that has low MR and if you try to engage, you'd better be ready to tank all of it since you are not getting out of tether range.
