Tips for a Noobie to fight a losing battle?

Hello League of Legends community. I'm a new player that just started playing when Star Guardian Poppy got released. I'm having a lot of issues fighting against, and getting minion kills against, Illaoi. Her attacks come out very fast and it feels like if I leave the turret for even a second to try and kill a minion I lose half or more of my health in the process.

It is even worse as she goes into the late game, where she can kill my entire team by pressing R. Illaoi players tell me she is weak, that she can be focused down if you get the jump on her with an organised attack, but it seems that it's irrelevent once she has reached level 6 and can do more damage than the entire team combined with a single keystroke.

In the following clip, I'm playing as Soraka, after our team has decided that we should focus against Illaoi first in a skirmish if possible since she does the most damage. I try to use my silence, but it's on cooldown from fighting anivia, I try healing my teammates as they take damage, but they take more damage than I can heal while Illaoi heals off all the damage they deal to her.

I tried to get a surrender several times to save my team the time of a loss and move onto another game, but it never went through, so we had to sit through 37 minutes of suffering as our team got weaker and weaker in comparison to the increasingly powerful female linebacker.

1, illaoi's abilities all require her to stand still in order to cast them in lane. They are also telegraphed by having a long animation and a slow actual cast time. Get used to watching illaoi and paying attention to when she is casting spells so you can dodge them quicker. 2. If your spirit gets pulled then DO NOT fight her. She will do like 140% damage to you if you allow her to be hitting you and your spirit. 3. When she ults you have two options. Either get away from her as soon as possible. Or chain cc on her until she dies. Without her ult she is far weaker then any other champion is without their ult. 4. after level six if your jungler ganks make sure that if one of your spirits gets pulled that you back off. The same as rule 2. illaoi is the queen of 2v1's with her ult.
