Akali is OP because of her ridiculously short shroud cooldwon

I just faced an Akali in around D4 elo, and of course I was playing Mordekaiser into that matchup, my main. As the lane starts, I let her push, I start E, and my plan is to allow my kindred to gank her level 3, take the first blood with my ignite, then move on, esepcially since they had a nocturne and if I push I will immediately die. As for her, I know she is hard to gank, and I know they recently buffed her W, so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect.

In comes kindred, I bait the Akali in a fight, get her shroud, and it last for about 8 seconds, or whatever it is, then its down and kindred ganks. Akali walks back towards the bush, stalling out for as long as possible, then immedieatly shourds away. I'm like k, that's stupid, and then Kindren must have thought the same, because she proceeded to camp this akali into oblivion.

Kindred had 4 cs, ganked and did NOTHING but gank for the next 2 minutes, and while yes it was fairly predictable, all akali had to do was wait for her shroud to come back up, walk promptly near my tower, grab a cs, then immediately blink away. It made her UNKILLABLE and Kindred didn't even blow her flash until the third one, and before this I was spam pinging her back because I knew it was futile, but you get a lot of junglers in lower diamond who only got there through camping top, so she was probably too dumbfounded to do anything about it.

Point is, Akalis shroud having a cooldown of 18 seconds and lasting 8 seconds doesn't give you the time needed to punish her early game. It'd be different if she didn't have a blink on top of it, but she does, and it just grants her TOO much safety.

And you could make the argument that the lane had no hard CC, but even then, I highly doubt we would have killed her, because if I had hard CC I'd have to be playing something like Maokai which does little to no damage, and if I was playing J4 she just blinks my E Q combo. It's not even just how she is ungankable, it's incredibly hard to punish akali when her shroud lasts 8 seconds. You can't trade with her when it's up, even the hardest top lane lane bullies can't, not even mordekaiser who has two forms of AOE damage. She'll just sit in her shroud and pummel you to death, and when she is balanced by having a weak early game, that's a huge problem.

I suggest shortening Akalis shroud duration to something like 4 seconds until she puts levels into it. This will give her the option of ranking E for the wave clear and damage or W for the utility. It's a fair trade off and allows you to punish her early.
