I honestly don't understand where all the frustration comes from. It's not like he can jump on you and kill you without counterplay. Either you engage him if top (in which case it's your fault - happens a lot in top lane against Rivens, it's too hilarious) or his support grabbed you if bot (in which case the frustration should be aimed on the support).

Even for melees it's easy to fight him in lane if you're patient enough to wait for his Q to wear off or if you can disengage before he hits you with the third. I got beat by a Renekton because he would dash > stun > Q > dash back so I couldn't hit him with more than E and one Q. Riven could do the same, but I haven't found one smart enough to do it yet.

He's hard to deal with in teamfights, that's true - but that's the same for every teamfighting bruiser (Skarner, Darius, Wukong...). Like with all of them, poke comps (something like Varus ADC, Nidalee jungle, Xerath mid) screw him over.

A friend of mine was playing Kalista against a Mordekaiser bot lane just today, and complained about it after dying three/four times. "I can't do anything if he flashes on me to hit with the third Q and kills me", he said. I told him "just stay away of flash range until his Q wears off, it only lasts about three seconds anyway". After that he won the lane. I don't understand how can't someone figure that alone though.
