Need Illaoi CSing Tips (Patch 6.11 )

Soo... I have this problem with Illaoi after the latest changes.

The Q after i start to build Phage/BC damages the caster minions and leaves them with around 5-10 HP. Makes it nearly impossible to get all of them. Obviously I don't Q the wave all the time but sometimes** I need to push/depush or CS at range against lane bullies like teemo.**

I countered this in later stages of the game by simply building Baumi's item 3751 and getting that small AoE damage but it delays building resistances a lot.

How do you guys CS as Illaoi now?

One Q will all but kill caster minions, I usually get Tiamat as 2/3 item which leaves 1 AA to clear the wave.

The alternative is to have tentacles near by and Q+W for the double tentacle CS finish.

I consider IBG pretty much core on her (W means they can't dodge the incoming slam) The AoE from that should finish them off nicely.

Illaoi's Q should be dealing more damage than the old one in virtually every scenario.

Level 1 - Rank 1 Q

Old Q: 10 + 120% AD New Q: 11 + 132% AD

Level 4 - Rank 1 Q

Old Q: 40 + 120% AD New Q: 44 + 132% AD

Level 4 - Rank 2 Q

Old Q: 40 + 130% AD New Q: 46 + 138% AD

Level 6 - Rank 1 Q

Old Q: 60 + 120% AD New Q: 66 + 132% AD

Level 6 - Rank 3 Q

Old Q: 60 + 140% AD New Q: 72 + 144% AD

Level 7 - Rank 4 Q

Old Q: 70 + 150% AD New Q: 87.5 + 150% AD

Level 9 - Rank 5 Q

Old Q: 90 + 160% AD New Q: 117 + 156% AD

This shouldn't be an "after the latest changes" problem since the tentacles hit harder at all points before you max Q, and even at max Q you'd need a completely outrageous amount of AD to make it equal the new tentacle damage.

That said, you just need something else with AoE to help. Bami's/Sunfire, Tiamat/Titanic Hydra, or IBG are all usable items on her.
