Plz balance Illaoi

Please hear me out.

To start; I'm a rather average player; I play rather casually and just enjoy having a fun game every now and again.

But every single time I play top and I see the other team picks illaoi, I honestly get uncomfortable. Facing her in the game is such a scary experience for me. Most recently I was playing Lissandra top, a champion I don't play frequently, but still have played many times in the past, and even just facing her in lane felt extremely unhealthy as a player. She never had a mana problem and seemed to constantly to be spamming all of her abilities to chunk my health; a low risk - high reward situation for her. As a lissandra I always felt like i was managing my mana with my passive just so i could land an ability without going OOM too quickly, however whenever i did land something, it nearly did nothing to her health; a moderate risk - low reward situation for me. Laning just felt unfair, however ganking didn't help whatsoever. Whenever a teammate helped me out she would simply R and get a double kill without effort.

The game just felt really harsh and unhealthy with her.

As you might assume with the hostile players you see on this game, I was to blame for this and felt attacked..

Anyways, I just wanted to put that thought out there and see what everyone else had to say because it honestly has been such a pain for me since her release.

your argument is literally. "im a casual and i dont want to deal with her, pls nerf her"

play normal draft and ban her if you dont want to fight her.

She is balanced. SHe has to actually have tentacles up to deal most of her damage. You went Lissandra, not a prime top laner currently due to hr squishy nature. Also she needs to dive for her full combo, something illaoi really loves people doing.

Illaoi is actually pretty balanced. That said, she is one of the most annoying champions to lane against in the game. To the point I generally prefer to just ban her than deal up with her shit.

My suggestion, learn to read her movement and dodge her tentacles. Everything she uses can be dodged, if you're really bad at it get early boots, and use ranged autos to kill her tentacles but only if doing so doesn't put you in a position where you can't dodge her abilities.

She's a bitch, but you can learn to play around her. It's not fun. In fact I hate it whenever it happens. But you can do it.

No. She's fine.
