Yes, she's a very midgame dominant champion. She has no earlygame, and her lategame is awful unless she manages to pull a truly absurd lead out of her midgame advantage.

Play safe when she hits 6, unless you're a champion equally able to all-in her. Buy pink wards so that she can't sit in her shroud and wait on cooldowns. Make sure everything is warded so that she can't easilly roam for kills in other lanes. And finally, group up a lot earlier than you usually would: akali is basically worthless in a teamfight situation because unless she's fed enough to kill someone in a QRE combo, she'll just get CC'd and killed before she can actually finish off a squishy with a second spell rotation. Again, pink ward the shroud, cc her, and kill her. If she doesn't come out of the midgame with a massive advantage, she's the worst assassin in the game late.
