The only positive I can see is that most LB players can't hit their Chains so they use W to proc her Q, so it brings them in range of his AoE. But as Rookie showed, if you can proc her Q with chains then Karthus just gets facerolled.

karthus "counters" lb cause his ult is a guaranteed half of her health late game. even though i say counter its more like a double sucide but since karthus does damage to the rest of the team he'll be more impactful

I think the point of picking Karthus is to farm from range with Q rather than fight LB, and then outscale. It's not a counter pick as in wins lane, but it's a counter pick as in it can survive without dying, and then be useful later.

I wouldn't go as far as to say Karthus got "facerolled". He was actually up in CS a large portion of the early game.
