Only Panth & Talon work (and both are not hard counter).

The other 3, like most mages will harass Kass like crazy pre 6, but Kass can easily play passive, start with flask 3 health pots (he doesn't even bother with wards since he will be push hard and his passive helps him to stay alive even longer vs AP). After 6, Kass can farm much easier and roam (and again, never worry about gank). The problem with most mid laner vs Kass (include Panth & Talon) is that they snowball less, scale worse into late game and NONE can match his mobility. You can pressure him hard in lane, but good Kass can always find a way back.
