Akali is...?

Today's Mid Monday for me and I used that as an excuse to play Akali for the first time since I bought her ages ago. It was a rough go, even against bots, and when I mentioned this in chat someone pointed out that she'd been "nerfed to the ground," something I'd completely forgotten about since my friend can still dominate with Akali. We did a 1v1 one night, me as Malzahar and him as Akali, and he slaughtered me.

After the match, I messaged another friend saying I don't know how that first friend can do so well with Akali. His response was just "Akali is OP." I pointed him to her win rate, to her placement on the tier list sites people seem to frequent and trust the most, and he was insistent that she's still "OP." At this point I just got frustrated and said "you're literally the only one who thinks she's OP," and he said "you're the only one who thinks she isn't?"

So, here we are. Let the board speak. What's your opinion on Akali in her current state?
