Akali's shroud needs more counterplay than just knowing where she is
I'm mainly talking about early game, as ganks are near impossible to pull off against an akali unless they actually don't know how to play.
She has an extremely low chance of being ganked with the shroud, and at the same time can pull off insanely stupid ganks on people playing presumably safe.
I ganked an akali 3 times In minute and 30 seconds because they kept making massive mistakes and overextending in lane. Every single time I ganked she used her shroud and almost walked away with the use of her E.
30 seconds later she appeared bot lane (I knew where she was going but I was too far away and was late) and she tower dived on our squishy support with near full hp.
Akali has some clear weaknesses but also strengths. I think if some early game power and usage was taken from her stealth to allow ganking an akali to be possible while adding some power somewhere else to accommodate would be a good fix. (Of course, late game stats should all be the same (rank 5)).
Or you know, get rid of true stealth and allow pink wards to make her targetable.
At this point If I'm Jungling against an akali I only see two lanes that I can possibly gank.
