Lux has no dash, so Akali slips past Light Binding (Q) with Twilight Shroud (W) stealth, closes the gap, and secures a guaranteed kill.

Dashing through Event Horizon (E)'s edge causes a stun, so Akali must bait its cooldown first. Once the cage expires, Shuriken Flip (E) and Perfect Execution (R) let her close on Veigar, who has no dash to restore the distance.

Seraphine has no escape, so she can't get out of Akali's Perfect Execution (R) double-dash dive, and her skillshots miss against Twilight Shroud (W) stealth.

Before Twisted Fate can land a gold Pick a Card (W), Akali closes in through Twilight Shroud (W) stealth to burst first, and with no dash he can't fight back.

Even if Corki creates space with Valkyrie (W), Akali re-engages through Twilight Shroud (W) stealth to burst him down and shrugs off Missile Barrage (R) poke with the stealth.

Hero's Entrance (R) is an allied-targeted knock-up ultimate, not a taunt. Galio survives Akali's burst with Shield of Durand (W)'s passive magic shield and active damage reduction, then predicts her position in the shroud to land W's area taunt and Justice Punch (E)'s knock-up.

Lissandra self-casts Frozen Tomb (R) to enter stasis, avoid Akali's burst, and heal. Ring of Frost (W) and an enemy-cast Frozen Tomb (R) then lock Akali down when she reveals herself.

Vex's Doom 'n Gloom (P) punishes Akali's frequent dashes with fear, and Shadow Surge (R) re-chases her after she dashes, nullifying her escapes.

Once Annie fills her Pyromania (P) stun stacks, she lands instant Incinerate (W) and Disintegrate (Q) stuns even through Twilight Shroud (W) stealth, cutting Akali off before she can start.

Pantheon dominates Akali throughout the lane with the point-and-click Shield Vault (W) stun, Comet Spear (Q) poke, and the Aegis Assault (E) that blocks her basic attacks and abilities.
