Counterplay Questions

Okay, so I've played against a few champs before that I can't seem to find a way to counterplay against. Obviously you can counter them, but it doesn't exactly work when they pick after you, or its Blind Pick or Team Builder. Anyway, I'd just like some tips on counterplay for a few guys(not counters, counterplay, something any champ can do).

PantheonPantheon His passive always gets me. If I play an AD champion, its basically GG for me. Especially if he happens to combo me under tower a few times until he can towerdive, especially because his passive blocks tower shots as well as basic attacks. It just seems so damn annoying and I can't seem to find a way to bypass it.

HeimerdingerHeimerdinger This one is obvious. You literally can't enter his turret range without being bombarded. I've found that its nice to just sort of bait the charge out of the turrets to waste it for an incoming gank, but really the only way to beat this guy is to get tons of ganks, which is situational on who your jungler is, and try to get fed enough to actually beat him. I would gank other lanes but its extremely hard with how hard a Heimer can push and pressure a lane.

LeBlancLeblanc LeBlanc is just cancer. I don't even get her. She has two flashes, which she can flash back to if you happen to catch up to her, not counting if she brought flash summoner spell, her passive is so annoying and sometimes even if I get her, its not the real one, and she bursts me so fast I rarely have time to react. Its so hard to beat this one. Tips?

And the newly introduced, EkkoEkko He's so annoying. He can burst me down, poke me, zone me with his E, after awhile even towerdive me and just ult out to safety and live with probably over half health. And I can't fight him because of his ult, it just doesn't make sense, even if I do avoid his combo I can't kill him.

EDIT: Did anyone even read the whole thing? I'm not asking for counters, I'm asking for counterplay. Something anyone can do.

for hiem the best option is to choose a poke mage. like lux or xerath can kill his turrets real quick. also he often doesnt have any presense on the map anywhere cause he is just camping in his towers so take advandage of that

Honestly,againt Panth the only ones that i found useful against him are Ryze/Vlad.As for Heimer,hi's zoning with his turrets and its just too hard to farm cd,the only one i can play against heimer is ,for some reaso,anivia.Now for Lb i litterally dont know because i dont usually go mid,its my worst lane,but all i can say is that i've seen xeraths beeting lbs.Now for Ekko, i personally play TF whenever i see him,he dominates him.

I like Garen against Pantheon. Pantheon is one of the rough high ad scaling champs that are melee(ish) and have no escape. They trade a chance of early domination against a chance of being a squishy melee fighter that dies trying to get in range. Build a champ with armor and sustain and watch panth run out of mana(high cost combo). Just don't let him kill you with his early spike before you get your armor built up.
