How to play the new Akali?

I'm trying to learn Akali but every time I watch game plays it's mostly from season 4. I have no idea how to build her for patch 5.9 and no idea on how to play her exactly. She seems weak to me as I lost to Fizz and couldn't duel Ezreal easily as I did in season 3. How can I play her now? and what is the new build? or is it gunblade again? Any tips on her new play style? since the E doesn't proc Q anymore and the ult dashes you through her enemies. Thanks guys all tips would be appreciated.

What I do is bring AD runes + Hybrid Masteries, get Hextech Gunblade as 1st item, then go Void Staff, Sorcerer's Shoes, etc. Deathcap isn't the best item, but it still works okay on Akali. I haven't tried LB on her yet, but I'm assuming it will work well with Q then AA proc.

Initiate by Q, R, AA, E, AA
