Swain great pick against reworked Akali (Counter?)

As the new Akali rework was released i got plenty of chances to face off against her with my main, Swain. From those matchups i can honestly say Swain's kit compliments him nicely when facing the reworked Akali. Swains E allows him to play a ranged game, to the point where Akali cant get in range to land her Q and use her passive without sustaining damage. Swains W then works against Akalis smoke screen, when she deploys her W you can simply take up most of the smoke with the sheer size of Swains own W, either forcing her to come out of invisibility, or zoning her to a certain part of the smoke so you can locate/harass her, also not to mention the slow from the W works wonders. Swains Q also somewhat counters Akalis smoke screen as the width of the Q allows for easy poke even while she is invisible. Lastly, Swain's ult of course, stops Akali from delivering her burst damage. Overall, from my experience of playing swain, and what I learned playing against the new Akali, I can say Swain gives her a very hard time.
