Akali counterplay
At the momment the counterplay to 
W is too high, the pink wards may be annoying but a free item that reveals her every 90 seconds - 60 seconds is absurd...

As some people say, a lot of champs r counterplayed by pinks (Shaco, Teemo, Rengar, Talon, Twitch, Vayne, Wukong), the difference is that you DO KNOW she is inside her shroud, the other champs can run away stealthed, and the enemy don't know where they are, also if you don't know where is Teemo hidden, u don't know where to put the pink.
Said this, as my lovely Akali is imprisoned inside her shroud, she is counterplayed way harder by pinks than the other champs. Luckly, my precious Akali is being reworked atm. :3

I feel Akali is going to get the lux treatment, where just like lux, akali was nerfed to oblivion, so what riot is probabbly gonna do is give akali small little buffs patch by patch untill she becomes a legit power house, just like lux
Personally, I don't find it to be such a huge deal. Vayne/Rengar ult get countered by pinks and reds too, but with Akali you know where she is invisible at anyway so I find it to not be such a big deal. It creates nice outplays but I try not to consider it a Kindred ult or anything where its a holy shrine of peace and safety.
I say this as an Akali player, too.
