If Akali was smart, she would use her shroud, so that Yorick's ghouls would be unable to see her. That's why Akali is so good against Yorick, she is one of the few champions who have comparable sustain to him and can try to 1x1 him. Unless Yorick purchases a pink ward and some magic resistance, but at that point, Akali should have killed him and snowballed off him and the other lanes.

Also, Yorick can't survive longer than a tank. He has insane sustain, but like any other bruiser, he is easily killed if he is focused. Not that enemies should focus him, but Yorick will die like Darius would, like Irelia would, like Renekton would, etc. Unless you build him full tank, but in that case, he does little damage by himself. He isn't naturally tanky either. And his build path forces him to delay his tankyness.
