Um, so i was playing league earlier and i went top lane... One problem tho. i couldnt actually get to my tower because a lvl 2 Illaoi could 2 hit me... so i continued stand in back in my lane as my first tower went down in like 5 mins. At this point i was like...i can do this...illaoi can not have a free lane. BUT NOOOOPE.... Idk who's idea her E was...but like the cooldown on that is ridiculous. Come on Riot. In the time is takes me to get rid of the tentacle effect she has the ability up again. Why? I know as a fact its not just me that has had this problem. Anyone with half a brain can tell u that illaio is not very balanced. How about u fix this crap first before releasing BS like Ivern

Have to ban her unless u want to get annoyed to holy fuck top lane. Call for a gank post lvl 6 get double killed. She has above par split push, so leaving the lane too long also not an option. High elo players usually deal with her a little better, but thats nothing new they deal with everything better and mentioning that doesn't help the majority of players. My biggest complaint about her is her E. It is THE MOST ANTI-FUN ability in the game. It's worse than fuckin silence untargetablility combined. Overall such a linear champ I hate the overall design. U have 2 low risk, high reward medium range skill shots that do more than some champs do with their entire kit (ridiculous damage and waveclear). Of the remaining two abilities one is a spammable tankbuster as well as a face melter with the tentacle follow up, and the ult's only real play making mechanic is to click it in the middle of the enemy team comp (further highlighting the fact that ALL this champ does is try to do damage. If that's not linear than i don't fucking know what is.

If Riot's idea of making a fighter champ with no hard cc is giving that champ an ability like her e to compensate I personally DO NOT want to see any more of these abortions. Giving a champ cc or initiation potential is more rewarding to play and already has several mechanics of counterplay in the game. Getting e'd under tower and having to either run a mile away or die and then waiting 12 seconds while dodging shit just so u can recall is EXTREMELY annoying. So I'll always ban. Fuck that champ.

Her tentacles can be very easily dodged at 345 movespeed. You have to buy appropriately for the champs u are facing in your lane. Illaoi will ALWAYS have a free lane as she is a lane bully, you can STALL her by playing a pushing type champ (Illaoi is also a pusher). Or you can kill her out right by playing: Garen(his abilities have unique disabling interaction with Illaoi all of her abilities (u can negate: her ult, tentacle swings, her E application, tentacle swings from W, damage/healing from her Q)), J4, Alistar(similar to garen), Poppy, etc, all these champs can disable her damage level 1 if you choose the correct first spell.

She is a lane bully. If you are playing something that can't move well, out range, or cc her, well...why are you playing a nontop non viable champ top exactly??

TL;DR: she literally screams MOVE at you to avoid her damage, she dominates people that won't: listen, observe, change, or grow. You beat her by fighting her when she tests you, and knowing when to walk away and when to engage. These should be BASICS you mastered leveling from 1-30 so....
