I played nasus mid and found myself against Akali. It was just an experiment and didn't have high hopes for it. All my teammates tried to stop me and you know? It worked great.

I think that against high range mids I would have had much more trouble, but I could counter akali in pretty much everything. At melee range you can deal a lot of damage and recover a lot of health with innate lifesteal. At long range your E can deny her farm, damage her and cover her whole invisibility area when she tries to hide, forcing her out or dealing a lot of damage. During the game she was forced back several times and killed once, while I backed only twice to buy and got killed once (my bad mistake, trying to fight in the invisibility area...

Game ended when the build was still far from complete, getting me a triple kill in final.

Core items: Athen's, RoA and Lich Bane.
