Illaoi Nerfs when??

Why does Illaoi get to be a scaling lane bully with misleading if not outright broken hitboxes, who can harrass for free at range, has a Q that chunks your healthbar from a safe distance if you so much as consider approaching a wave under tower, a w that chunks your healthbar at all stages of the game if she has even a single tentacle nearby, and an e that lets her pretty much freely harrass you under tower, and does waaaaay too much damage, all three of which have something fucky with their hitboxes? I literally reported the guy for cheating because I refuse to believe that it's possible for Riot to have fucked up this badly?

EDIT: So the damage issues, in hindsight, are a result of her being stupidly far ahead. The reason she was so effectively able to get so stupidly far ahead is because her hitboxes are blatantly fucky and she landed multiple E's that she rather objectively just shouldn't have landed.

Everything Illaoi does is telegraphed, and she has no hard CC. Her tentacles show you where they will slam with more than enough of a delay to sidestep them. If she's standing where 2+ tentacles can reach her spot, she's looking for an E. Be ready for it.

Dodge the E. Buy an Executioner's Calling. Walk away when she ults. That's literally all you have to do. Illaoi punishes you for facerolling on the keyboard and trying to fight her without thinking.

She loses to range matchups and even with melee matchups as long as you are just playing safe and farming she wont snowball. If you are melee and always looking for a fight, you are her target.

There are hardly any other champions in the game that play as area focussed as Illaoi.

If you aren't slowed by the 2nd part of her E you can literally walk about of tentacle hitboxes. Her E is pretty easy to predict and is blocked by minions. Walk out of her ult and it's useless to her.

As long as you don't fight her where she wants you to be, which is pretty limited, she can't really hurt you.

Lets take a look.... Yep just as I thought

In Plat+ from u.gg

Illaoi Top is 50.08% win rate Illaoi Mid is 51.53% win rate (Waaaaat?) Illaoi Jungle is 14.29% win rate Illaoi ADC is 38.46% win rate Illaoi support is 41.03% win rate

Illaoi is fine and actually could enjoy some of her Bug fixes (can we say locked out of W for 6s anyone?)

Can’t post any bruiser hate on this forum or you get downvoted to shit dude.

Don’t you know this board believes all bruisers are perfect champions with no flaws, that are also somehow always weak?
