Real tanks are much better than her. She has no cc, her damage is bad (if she is going tank), her sustain is super bad (if she is going tank). Tank akali doesn't build gunblade and that is preety bad. core item on tank akali is titanic hydra which is bad.
tank akali is bad.
spombjop1 votesbring back AP assassin Akali, her role is assassin and she should be an assassin, revert her nerf
iisabrina1 votesThe build is up to the person, tank akali is strong depending on how she builds, prior to the huge patch update about 2 months ago, there was a tank akali who destroyed everyone.
Her build was something along this order 
, and some other combination of two other items.
She did alot of damage, had alot of health and ruined the enemy.

this build is better !
iisabrina1 votesoh no doubt, when I go ap champs, I always go tanky with 
as my thee items, and then a variation of the others you have listed.
The purpose of the person who built with the build I showed above (armor build), is assassins pack alot of damage already and having an offensive/defense build allows them to annihilate squishes with little damage taken to themselves, so they can destroy multiples at once.

Great Ozymandius1 votesAkali in general is a weak champion right now. Akali has been nerfed into oblivion because she has a problematic kit. A lot of this is due to the binary nature of her shroud. Early game, before enemies have pink wards, the shroud is quite strong. Late game, the shroud is pretty much worthless because any decent team will plop a pink ward on top of it. In addition, her 'e' is an energy sink that does not synergize with the rest of her kit (after it no longer proc'd her mark of the assassin). This means that she is basically just damage on a point-and-click q, a point-and-click dash, and damage on her dash. This is incredibly difficult to balance, so if she is viable at high elo's then she will be a pub-stomper at low elos.
Her entire kit needs to be reworked. In particular, her shroud cannot be hard countered by pinks and she needs to be forced to utilize her shroud late game. If done correctly, this will allow her damage to be nerfed, allow for more skill and counterplay, and generally make her easier to balance.
Here's a recommendation for how to rework some of Akali's skills:
