What is the actual counterplay against some of these items?

I really hate that as soon as my lane opponent buys one of these two items: item 3146 or item 3155 basically means you've lost lane.

the gunblades active is SO overtuned.

UNIQUE – LIGHTNING BOLT: Instantly deals 175 - 250 (based on level) (+ 30% AP) magic damage and Slow icon slows the target champion's movement speed by 40% for 2 seconds (700 range) (40 second cooldown, shared with other Hextech items).

but wait, they also get to heal for 15% of ALL damage done! Magic, Attack and TRUE damage.

and then there's hexdrinkers passive: UNIQUE – LIFELINE: Upon taking magic damage that would reduce maximum health below 30%, grants a shield that absorbs 110 - 280 (based on level) magic damage for 5 seconds. (90 second cooldown)

What is the actual counterplay to these two items. and don't you dare say item 3191 because its a hunk of junk in comparison to hexdrinker.

You can wait out the hexdrinker shield It has as much counterplay as barrier

Im pretty sure that if a 0/4 talon buys a hex drinker to keep you from one shotting him you havent lost lane...

well hex drinker shield is provided at 30% hp so my guess is burst or to proc it and wait it out since it has a 90 second cooldown and with gunblade if you know a champ is going to build it from the start you can take summoner 14 for the gw or build the gw applier for your class (but not tanks since it hasn't hit live yet)
