I know the new champion is new but does anyone feel she does ridiculous amounts of damage and tanks?

with only HP items? I was fighting an unfed illia yesterday, she was struggling most of the game she got a black cleaver, a gace and boots that's it. And she 1 v 3 me the tank ( at about 80ish armor ) I WAS A FUCKING NAUTILUS TOO I caught her with all my CC the ult the passive the slow the hook just to stop her from attacking we had an udyr so he stunned her and fought her she was shredding us both at the same time and the adc a caitlyn couldn't dps her fast enough in the 5 seconds it took this illia to kill me and udyr and then killed the adc. She kill us 3 and left with roughtly 60% hp Jax was ahead of her, and so was the adc. It's like fighting an olaf before the changes except he has AOE, and a gapcloser now. x_X

She was 2 / 4 / before this happen ofcourse we got confident we was going to kill her so we jumped her she had 2 tentacles that fight.

As mundo I laned vs her last night I went 3/1 she was 0/3. However later on in the game she started pouring out damage to everyone. My only gripe is if your going to make her tentacles be so annoying, then let us use abilities to kill them and not just auto attacks. It's kind of bullshit I have to walk up to a tentacle while there's two other tentacles AND her doing damage to me because I'm melee. But if I could throw a freakin cleaver at it twice to kill it, then at least it wouldn't be that bad

Sounds like you guys were letting her pump out free damage and get free heals. Try destroying her tentacles.

You cannot destroy ult tentacles, which I'm assuming she had because it was a 1v3

I was warning everyone about it when Riot was using the word "juggernaut" to describe her

I have a good amount of illaoi games and I'd love to offer some advice. Illaoi has very little mobility and CC, so use that to your advantage,just reposition. Also her tentacles cannot attacked while stunned, so it is a good tatic to stun her after she ults, then reposition.

The thing about illaoi is that she gets STRONGER if you bring multiple Champs to fight her. The increased tentacles and healing makes her able to 1v2, and 1v3, sometimes even 1v5 if fed.

But that has a huge trade off,she is a terrible duelist. You mostly win lane because people don't understand how her abilities work. Pick duelist/lane bullies against her, and when she grabs your spirit, fight for it, it reduces the timer so she can't kill it, and she cannot attack the spirit and you. You only want to have multiple people go after her if they have high displacement CC.

Don't try to 3v1 her,just send your strongest champ to 1v1 her

Interesting that you say, With only HP items, since looking at her wiki page, she does not appear to have any HP ratios, outside of her sustain. (but then again, so does Darius.)

I'm also pretty certain that her tentacle heals, while don't appear to cumulative with each champion hit, are cumulative which each tentacle hit.

Over all, you have to treat her tentacles like donger turrets. Either kill them, or stay the hell away. (and I don't think she has a lot working for her, outside her tentacles.)

It's true that her passive tentecles, Q and W all have absurdly high AD scalings, which results in her being able build only 1 or 2 damage items (bruiser items at that; think black cleaver/titanic hydra) and finish off with defensive items becoming very tanky.

Although, what I have been noticing both by playing illoai and watching other people play her is that people haven't seemed to learn yet that she is not the kind of champion you just stand there toe to toe with wailing away on each other. You really really really have to have the awareness when fighting to pay attention to her tentecles and your positioning. If you just stand their and tank tentecles you will die.

Her ult and the way her tentecles work definitely do put her at an advantage when fighting 2-3 oppenents, at least after she has some health to work with. Remember her tentecles restore 5% MISSING HP, so the lower she is and the more total health she has stacked (generally along with armor and MR) the more effective her tentecle heal is. Add more champions and more tentecles into the equation and she gets an insane amount of damage and healing. Yes she has a short range gap closer, a very short one, but she is certainly not a mobile champion. That is her weakness. You wouldn't take many champions toe to toe with darius or garen and expect to win, Illoai is the same sort of champion.

TLDR: Don't stand toe to toe with Illoai (maybe mundo), dodge her tentecles/always clear them when possible, and reposition when she uses ult.

Ps. When you become a vessel from her E and you have the debuff, killing 3 of the debuff spawned tentecles will remove it. You don't have to wait it out.
