i'd pick gunblade over lich bane for 4 reasons: gunblade gives sustain, gunblade procs both your passives, you get a damaging slow that drops in cooldown very quickly, and you don't need mana from lich bane.

lich bane is stronger as a late game item when you have lots of ap, where the second akali finishes her gunblade she can kill anyone in the game plus has incredible lane dominance.
