Can Illoai be tweaked?

I feel like she can be an amazing champion. Hell I'm having a ton of fun playing her as is.

But that passive is borderline useless. Especially since it gives 5 g free to the enemy. Since the Tentacle animation takes so long to finish, by the time a W is hit, the tentacle is dead, and you're left doing nothing.

So why not make those things attack you're target, and increase the damage done to the target effected by the W skill? And increase the speed of the animation. So that they aren't instantly destroyed the second they spawn in.

Now the passive has some aggression and isn't just a free gold spot for enemies.

Reduced damage to minions and all that is a duh, or capping the max damage. Also, give her more room to work with when it comes to placing those tentacles. Having only 1 active tentacle in a fight, pre-6, is kinda weak.

if you buff her control and earlygame power, you need to nerf her lategame power/scaling because thats her strength right now.

illaoi is not a lane bully or a duelist or a splitpusher. she can push lane very fast and safe and control the flow of the lane against most champions so she is extremely hard/impossible to gank which gives her time to scale. she isnt really STRONG now, she will get outtraded by many champions if they manage to get onto her for free and she will lose an all-in to almost all strong toplaners easily. tho her kit is made so that they SHOULDNT be able to trade/all in her if she doesnt want to because she controls lane from excellent range.

this means, despite her weak combat power, she has the ability to farm safely AND control the lane in most matchups which allows her to scale into 2 items and become really strong. at black cleaver + deadmans plate or even 2 full defense items she is a teamfighting monster, probably the strongest counter initiator in the game.

if you make her earlygame stronger and easier so she will reach her final form even faster and safer, her lategame has to be weaker. i wouldnt want this, so i wouldnt change anything about her.

Please... press R and watch her 1v5. holy that dmg while being tanky as hell, are you kidding me? I was corki top lane and she ended up 0-3 with levels behind. She got one kill and it took 5 of us to take her down while deleting all 5 of us and taking some with us. When that R is hit and all the tentacles around her come down is insane. Please don't bring up "just side step" because it's not only one.

In my opinion...

Keep all of the current values, mechanics, dmg, but remove the healing from tentacles.
