WTF IS THIS SCALING

Darkslayer85·Jul 14, 2016·1 votes·829 views

Illaoi Tentacle Scaling:

Dealing 10 - 180 (based on level) (+ 120% AD) (+ 10% / 15% / 20% / 25% / 30% based on Q rank) physical damage to all units in a line.

So let's say you're level 9 as Illaoi. Just picked up your and going in for a trade.

You're doing:

{100 + 1.2 (94 (Illaoi AD at level 9) + 50 (Black Cleaver))} + 30% damage for maxing Q {100 + 1.2 * 144} + 30% damage for maxing Q {100 + 172.8} + 30% damage for maxing Q 272.8 + 30% damage for maxing 354.64 damage

So this bitch comes in to slap me for some of my max hp and then gets all this extra damage?

You're probably thinking: OMG THIS GUY IS BOOSTED BRONZE PERSON OF NOOBISHNESS LEARN TO FUCKING DODGE

Well it's hard to do that after being slowed by her fuckin .

Now you're thinking: Fucking kite her!

Well it's hard to do that as a melee, just saying.

Seriously? At least lower the scaling for maxing Q.

Or you know, you could respect her hitboxes in the first place? And Cleaver is trash on Illaoi.

tfw people are actually complaining about Illaoi

If she's level 9, she's not gonna have both Cleaver and IBG. Learn to dodge. After that in later game, you should build armor maybe? Or you know, stay out of her range in teamfights and let your ADCs/ranged kite her to death instead?

Her tentacle has a nice long wind up time. I play alot of Illaoi and have played against alot of Illaois. Best thing to do is just keep moving, treat the lane like you would treat Thresh or Blitz. Stay behind minions and just keep moving.

Don't play a melee top into her (that's begging for trouble) Take our her tentacles as they spawn (free gold man) Never engage her in melee combat (you'll lose 99% of the time) And if your jungler is going to gank make sure you both aren't hit by her ult (she spawns more tentacle per person hit)

I appreciate your advice (a lot of it is good). But most top laners are melee.

True, but that's a really bad mindset to have. Just because most mids are AP doesn't mean it's a bad idea to take an assassin mid. Same with top, just because most tops are melee doesn't mean you can't take Vayne, cait or graves top.

Hell Cait and Vayne poop on her, they can peel her off and poke her down and freeze her lane out.

I'm not sure your analogy works. AD assassins in mid aren't actually uncommon or weak in that lane. They often have a clear advantage over AP since AD is more early game.

I'm not saying that a ranged top isn't going to screw over Illaoi, most ranged tops screw over melee to the point where it's almost tilting. It's just that there are so few top laners built with range that suggesting (don't bring melee into her) isn't the best advice imo.

Plus you have to consider what it means for your teamcomp. A ranged top laner means your team loses a frontliner.

Gnar Heimerdinger Kennen aren't melee or at least have range/kiting/zone control uses to deal with her. Plus Kennen can get away or jump in with his E and Gnar can hop in or out. Just be careful, Gnar can have a tricky time with her-I've had experience. Gnar has early game power against her, but once she hits level 6 oh boy, watch out. Wait to all in her until a gank comes.

Honestly I think she's pretty balanced.

She has no CC besides a situational slow. She has to build damage to do damage so she sacrifices some tank items which makes her squishier than say Nasus or Gnar And if she gets focused in a team fight she's done, not to mention CC stops her tentacles from attacking this includes snares.
