Lee Sin? You have a lot more options than Lee Sin. Namely any champ with AOE. Plenty of champs have harassable spells. You want to invalidate her glass cannon build? Get Galio. Do more damage and tank harder and make her all ins worthless.

Brand, Ziggs, or Malzhar if you just want to harass and pin her down with spells all day. It's not like she has flexible mobility.

Zed and Kennen have more harass with Zed being a stronger duelist and Kennen having a nearly in-escapable stun post six. Same with Yasuo.

And if you are really ballsy. Veigar can stun and blow up Akali. She can't do anything about it till she gets a Zhonyas or a viel. Vel'koz ends the shroud buff cold by dealing true damage with spells and auto attacks. Knock her up. Shoot the Q. Use W twice and if she tries to hide in the shroud just turret blast her with the ult. It deals true damage.

It's not that big a deal that shroud. It's what keeps her safe. But she's pretty defenseless without it and when she's in it. She has nowhere to hide in lane.
