Can Illaoi's Test of Spirit aka her E be removed from the game?

Now before this gets downvoted to oblivion for being a qq thread about Illaoi it isn't, so listen please before you downvote. Now I personally do not believe Illaoi is broken at all, she is about at average in strength for a bruiser in my opinion, but I do think that she might be one of the worst champions in the game to play against in the game right now. I say this solely because of her E Test of Spirit, this one ability can ruin anyone's chance of having any fun playing League. > Illaoi rips the Spirit from a foe's body, forcing it to stand before her. Spirits echo a percentage of the damage they take to the original target. If killed, or if the target gets too far from the Spirit, the target will become a Vessel and begin spawning Tentacles. > Illaoi rips the spirit from a foe's body, forcing it to stand before her, so she can teach them a lesson.Illaoi calls on the power of her god to pull the Spirit from an enemy champion for 10 seconds. The Spirit can be attacked by Illaoi and her allies and echoes 25/30/35/40/45% (+[0]%) of the damage it takes to the target.If the Spirit dies or the target leaves its range, the target becomes a Vessel. Vessels spawn a Tentacle every 10 seconds for 1 minute and have their movement speed slowed by 80%, decaying over 2 seconds.Tentacles swing at Spirits and Vessels dealing 0 (+0) physical damage.

That is what her E does for anyone who does not know already. Now this ability is in all honesty is not very strong it can be useful for Illaoi players to get some free damage and even some lucky kills if the vessel is not good at dodging but overall it is not as good as say a Blitzcrank pull or a Thresh hook which people associate this ability the most with. What this ability does do extremely well is be the most aggravating thing to deal with if you become a vessel. This single ability makes you unable to play the game until you destroy 3 tentacles which can only be auto attacked, have 2 health each and will attack you if you go near them that does not mean you can just go back to farming or fighting after you have been afflicted because oops you just got hit by a tentacle and lost a decent amount of health boom dead. No if you get afflicted the only real "counterplay" that you can do against them is go back behind your turret and kill each individual tentacle as they spawn until the curse is not on you anymore.

This is just a terrible thing to deal with more so than a Blitz hook because at least with a Blitz hook you might be able to flash away or you might die, but with Illaoi's E it is just a nuisance that until you get rid of it you can not continue on with your game. How does that in any way sound like good game design, something that just cripples you and kills you for just trying to play a game that isn't fun for the person playing and, at least for me, it isn't fun just watching the person slowly try and make it so they are able to continue playing the game. Now i know that this most likely won't even make them think about removing the ability but I do hope that this could at least convince Riot to slighty change her E to something that is not so tedious and unfun. I do hope that you agree and thank you for reading.
