Illaoi R - Invisible hitbox on all tentacles

Exemplaris·8/12/2016, 5:43:31 PM·17 votes·3,180 views

** Why does League of Legends BREAK and turn spells INVISIBLE, instead of just stacking them and showing all potential threats of damage?** Seems like a necessity...

Since Illaoi's release if she uses her R on multiple champions & her Q animation needs to overlap, (generally the case) rather than attempting to show a hitbox for each tentacle, the game engine has a brain fart and decides to show NO HITBOX for ANY TENTACLE from Illaoi's ultimate.

Considering the fact that Illaoi tentactles have a large hitbox to begin with, not being able to see the hitbox AT ALL for her 1 up to FIVE ultimate tentacles is an enormous issue.

In my opinion, the REASON for Illaoi's power is the FACT that her ULTIMATE hitbox is INVISIBLE. Why is she still enabled??? Is Riot even aware of this bug? Is a fix being developed?

This same bug exists and HAS EXISTED for a LONG TIME with Anivia's Q, 50% of the time when casting Anivia's Q on top of her R spell effect the Flash Frost will turn COMPLETELY INVISIBLE.

I've never heard Riot once address this issue, or ensure the community a fix was in development. This might actually be the SINGLE LARGEST ISSUE with true & fair PvP combat in this game!

Because her tentacles have far too much counterplay as it is, especially with the change to her curse making it only last 12 seconds and changing visibility so ranged champs can kill the tentacles without entering the damn bush. God forbid she reliably slap people once she properly lands her highly situational ultimate.

I haven't played Illaoi in a while, so I don't know if this has been changed or not, but you mentioned her ult can spawn 1-5 tentacles. It can actually be more than five because if she lands her E, her ult will also spawn a tentacle for that spirit. Correct me if I'm wrong.

There would be too much clutter. Illaoi is one of the few champions where when she ults, everyone literally splits because it is nigh impossible to dodge that many tentacles in quick succession.

Her non-ultimate tentacles are already easy enough to dodge as it is. May the lorde have mercy on our soul if she hits people with tentacles that have invisible hitboxes when they could just run away instead of taking all that damage

....already low winrate ? The last change was a huge buff. You build bruiser to pummel, and tank to pretty much never lose. You CANT fall behind with Illaoi, only snowball or go even in fights. She is top tier right now. Anyways, invisible box is garbage. Its fine when I can see them all. Ideally though--- I would love one merged hitbox with the edge clearly defined. No clutter in the middle. But invisible hitbox, on a champ DESIGNED to be outplayed, kinda garbo to me. When you consider that tentacle slams stack.

Are we sure this wasn't a purposeful change? They may be trying to buff illoi again to make sure that she maintains her lane bully status against Kled. So far ive only played games against 2 Illoi and all tentacle strikes were invisible, so either this is a huge bug or a huge buff lol. I'm kinda hoping its a bug though.. Illoi is scary

The tentacles that Are spawned with her Ult are untargetable on purpose. Guess cause she can ne easly kited so atleast the tentacles cant BE killed in a fight idk
