Hard counters do exist. It's just they don't have to end up as feed lanes.

Basically playing against a hard counter means you play passive, forcing the enemy to overextend so your jungler can come in and rescue you, and rinse and repeat.

Losing CS from playing passive is nothing to be ashamed of, because it's way better than feeding; and in most cases the enemies can't very effectively CS if you force them under your turret anyway.
