How to counter summoners?

Summoners are one of the most annoying classes to face not only can most of the summoned units ignore your frontline and delete the backline but also they can make your champions waste your abilites and basic attacks on the minions instead of the enemy champions. I've tried using Assassins to kill them before they get their abilities up but when there are too many summoners, they can only kill so many before one of them eventually spawns a unit and they just die instantly. So far the best result I've gotten is from poison and poison is just op but it takes a long time to get to that point and that is a highly competed class making it hard to get that buff. Any ideas on how to deal with them mostly for all stages of the game?

Poison as you said, aoe damage like Brand, syndra, amumu, Malphite. Early game Maokai gets a healing proc every time a summon attacks him. Hush works well, try combining it with sivir or runaans. Mystic reduces damage. Deathblade on your AA carry can reach insane levels, especially if they have healing through bloodthirster or light. Statik shiv and ludens do nice spread damage and with predators can be taken out quicker.

Twitch with Hush and Runaan's. Try casting spells now when your entire team is permanently silenced. I personally also like Sword Breaker on him, but I can see the use in having Spear of Shojin on him as the third item for keeping his ability going permanently and keeping the enemy team permanently silenced. However, if you just want to be a general D-bag, pair him with a Poison comp (possibly also with Rangers so he gets the extra attack speed) and give him the Sword Breaker instead of the Hush. The entire enemy team can't basic attack anymore and is poisoned so their spells charge slower, which makes him insanely strong at dealing with any comp with his inbuilt multi-hit.

Summoners are easy to counter, especially if it is just 3. Qiyana, Blender, Soraka, Electric, Berserker, Mages, Inferno, Amumu, Nautilus.

Summoners isn't that strong unless you have a t2 Zed with perfect items and an electric Lux.

Yesterday 3 Poison + 1 star full tank Singed destroyed my 6 Mage, 6 Ocean, 2 Warden (2 stars Lux).

I think 3 Poison can delay Summoners Ultimates.
