Illaio ult needs a serious nerf

I played nasus, 4600 hp and a tremendous amount of armor and I still got meltd by her ult every time, this is after winning lane as well. How do you think my teammates did? There's no reason her ult should be so strong, none at all. Add on to the fact that she doesn't need damage items and can just go super tank...it shouldn't take 5 people to kill 1 person and 2-3 of die in the process. I don't care about her mobility issues or anything else, her ULT damage needs to be lowered, it's that simple.

There's something called getting our of range of her tentacles.

Looking at the Illaoi, her going "Super Tank" is false as all hell. She went bruiser Illaoi, shred all of your armor with Black Cleaver (her Tentacles are physical damage so each slap procs it too), she has Death's Dance which was healing her each time she auto'd or W'd, she has Trinity Force + Sterak's which gives her survivability and high damage (especially with her ult active cutting her W's cooldown drastically), Thornmail to tank hits from you, and Spirit Visage to increase the healing from her tentacles and Death's Dance. As you might notice, she's missing boots. This also means that she is missing the ability to move fast before hitting anyone, thus should be easily avoidable at all times. In addition, I notice that you failed to buy Thornmail, which is a key tank item vs Illaoi. You buy Thornmail >> she right clicks you once >> she can no longer heal effectively even with Spirit Visage. Not to mention that, as a Nasus, your Wither is a major counter-CC to her because of how powerful of a slow it is, on top of her lack of boots as I mentioned before.

Honestly speaking, you losing to this Illaoi was not Illaoi's fault at all, it was your own fault for letting her do as she pleased. My guess is that you panic Withered everything but Illaoi, allowing her to get into your faces and fight you, instead of using it on her so she would become a non-factor in every single fight.

Feel like you're all just illaio mains desperately trying not to get your broken champ balanced. "just run away from her in teamfights", what kind of advice is that? completely ridiculous. no other champion has an ult as broken as hers, even kats isn't as troll, and kats a glass cannon which adds to her balance.

Illaoi's ult is much like when your friend puts on their very bad taste in music; it's insanely effective if you stay near it, but if you just leave the room until it's over it can't hurt you anymore.

First, you can literally just walk out of her ult since it dealt 0 CC.

Second, you're Nasus...

Have you considered the fact that Illaoi is worthless with even the most rudimentary team coordination?

Or you could just try walking away from her tentacles of course.

I personally don't have a problem with illaoi. I pick Nasus into her every time and stack up on her tentacles and build all armor and if i'm really feeling oppressed by her healing ill get a Morel if i'm going ap or a last whisper for tank. If walking away from her tentacles is too difficult try taking some damage for your team and get her to use her soul steal and her ult and shes more or less out of heavy damage, then you can rally your team and focus her ( assuming there isn't anyone more pressing to deal with ) and all shell have left is like one tentacle ( unless your fighting her with all her tentacles set up which is a bad move ) and her slam which shouldn't do much damage since you built armor and if he feels suicidal and leaps into you and your team , all the better.

Or you can pick Darius Gnar Trundle Morde Kled Swain Maybe Kayle . Try to find champs that have you decide were your going to fight and when and that thrive in fighting it out. Like Morde she has to get close to you in order to attack you with most of her abilities which is exactly what Morde wants. You can just Harvest her with a minion or something and do constant DPS which gives you a shield and your Mace of spades which can do LUDICROUS amounts of damage and your E can give you EXTRA SHIELDING. Your ult also does *cough cough SCALING AP AND MAX HEALTH DAMAGE meaning even if she becomes a super tank you will still do crazy damage to her and if you kill her no one will want to go after you.

Anyways those are my thoughts.
