When will Illaoi get nerfed

Never because she's better than Azir

Like really why do multiple tentacles do full damage for all of them

Literally everyone who has potential multiple hit skills Azir, Jhin, Heimer, Graves

For example

Azir soldiers only do 25% after the first soldier Jhin traps only do 65% after the first trap Heimer rockets only do only 20% after the first rocket Grave's auto only does 25%-33% after the first pellet

Riot should at least be consistent with potential multi hit skills

dont forget the items that do on hit effects like item 3116 they'll get to it eventually. but first she has to spend some time dancing around. making people want to buy her and such. they arent magic makers. it takes time to figure out how to modify her

Well, Illaoi's tentacles are rather stationary, and they're not stealthed. And Jhin's traps have some brutal scaling which IS higher than Illaoi's tentacles.

120% AD and 100% AP per trap is a lot of damage, especially on a champion that averages out at 1K AD in the lategame with a good build. Each trap lasts for 2 minutes, which means with that 65% only you can still one shot a good number of tanks.

Here's a little math for lategame Jhin trap damage compared to lategame Illaoi tentacle damage. With the assumption that Illaoi averages 300 AD in her full build and Jhin averages his 1K in lategame, here goes.

First trap: 260 + 1200

Additional traps: 169 + 780

He gets an additional trap every 13 seconds with 45% CDR, and they last for two minutes each. Which means he can have nine traps in one spot.

The total amount concludes at 7869 magic damage pre-magic res after a short delay. Compared to Illaoi, you can see a huge difference.

For Illaoi's tentacles to outdamage stacked Jhin traps, you'd need 9 of them all slapping you and the spirit from getting grabbed by her test of spirit..

..And getting 5 is hard to do in an actual fight.

She doesn't need nerfs. She is easy to counter pick, and easy enough to dodge her abilities if you have any skill at making wise desicions

If she lands her ult while you are cc'd why on earth should you be able to dodge them? Fuckimg obvious. Don't be dense.

Azir gets to store soldiers. On a shorter cooldown.
Jhin gets to store traps. Heimer rockets have a longer range. And his ult turns them into assassination tools. Reload mechanics are fun.

45% win rate. She's getting buffed, not nerfed. Her kit is too telegraphed, and has oppressive mana costs. Honestly, if you die to an illaoi, it's your own fault.

Not for awhile, because she's unplayable trash right now.

Well considering she's not very good right now, I'd say two more patches of buffs (not counting PBE), one patch of domination, then either a hotfix or nerf the patch after.

So expect it 6.6ish-6.7
