wrong, thornmail vs lee sin is bad considering he gets free lifesteal and vamp, all he needs to do if you buy thornmail is rush a last whisper and laugh at your wasted money.. randuin's omen on the other hand works a LOT better ( although you don't really buy that on akali )

what you CAN do with akali vs lee sin is rely less on your invisibility for defense and use it to safe farm in between minions, make him waste his E using bauble and then running into the bush, this is a strategy game and with the proper strategy you can turn around almost ANY situation, you can't use the same playstyle against everyone only because it's supposed to be the right way to play the champ you're playing

i've played against a lee sin with akali and with only 2 successful ganks in other lanes i was able to get the upper hand and eventually snowball the game..
