@Riot Darius can heal, ult, and refresh his passive on clones, why can't Illaoi?

If Darius uses Q and the blade hits a clone, he heals off that clone. He can ult the clone and he can refresh noxian might off the clone.

Illaoi can't heal with her Q or any tentacles on clones and her ult does not work on champion clones.

Spaghetti code or Riot inconsistencies?

because darius is an idiot and cant ditinguish between the real guy and his clone

meanwhile illaoi has a god on her side and this almighty god obviously sees through this deceit

Illaoi gets those bonuses because she's directly affecting a champion's spirit, leeching its essence and pulling it out of its physical vessel. A clone is merely an imitation and doesn't actually have a soul.

Darius gets his bonuses from his own personal bloodlust and the thrill of battle. While the clones are imitations he still feels the impact of his blade into flesh, sees the splash of blood and thirsts for more.

because illaoi has been doomed to uselessness since her release and she's one of the few ugly female characters that Riot has created and later regretted making.

Darius doesn't share any of those negative attributes, and even though he isn't meta right now, everyone in the League community knows the D man.

Well, Illaoi has better teamfight potential and more damage. Darius is supposed to have a better laning, and a lot of those things are to make up for his lategame falloff

Illaoi has a better laning than Darius and a worse late game.

Illaoi's laning is worse than Darius post E nerf, though that's fair. Darius, in some matchups, can make laning phase hell for the opponent. Illaoi can't really do that; She doesn't have a set of champs she can hard counter, and with the counterplay potential that Riot presents on her, people who know how Illaoi works will do well.

Illaoi has more reach against ranged champs than Darius, though it's still annoying. Illaoi bring pure dmg, Darius has at least some peel.

Darius also has better TP ganks

Straight from the tooltip of his Q:

Darius heals for 12% missing health for each enemy champion hit by Decimate's blade, up to a maximum of 36% missing health.

Might have to do with Illaoi's ability to spawn an enemy clone (e is it?) Something may screw up and make her op if she can heal off that clone and ult with it. Then again might make her more balanced.

pretty sure illaoi can heal on clones. i use that sometimes to my advantage.

unless im stupid and remembering it incorrectly.

To my knowledge her ult and heal do work on clones. Saw a video of a massive amount of Illaoi ults using a team of Shacos vs a team of Illaois, and her ult and heal worked on all the Shaco clones.
