TF is not a counter in lane, however, TF is a "counter" to virtually all AP mids. What do I mean by that?

Well first off, he has a low-cd, on demand, 2 sec stun which is pretty powerful as is. Next, he is one of the best pushers in the game with his Q allowing him to play safe and clear waves from very far away. But what really makes him counter most mids is his unparalelled roaming capabilities with his ultimate. Most TF players (including, admittedly, myself) cannot use this ultimate effectively, but anyone that has played against a good TF knows how stupidly irritating his ultimate is.

Even though I hate people who use winrate as an absolute measure for how strong a champion is, for people who care, TF's winrate in higher elos is consistently high in higher elo (Gold and Plat) where people can actually use him effectively.
