^Akali's damage might not look that high, but she has a relatively high damage over say, 10 seconds, because her cooldowns are really low. I'd say someone like her can spent 2k gold on just countering the lane. If you kill your enemy twice, you only need to outfarm him by 56, which is, I think, not that hard if it's a melee that can't get close to your minions without getting hurd badly. Just make sure you don't push too much, and might your minions end under his tower, harras him with Q whenever you can. Also, if Lee Sin can't deal damage, he can't sustain himself.
