Illaoi and test of soul.

Illaoi is an interesting champion concept. I like most of the things about her kit and would enjoy playing against her if it wasn't for 1 single very annoying and unbalanced ability. Her Test of Soul. I don't know what needs to be done with it but I do have some suggestions.

First: The debuff timer should not be 1 minute. I Shouldn't be punished for an ENTIRE minute when she lands a test of soul on me. The debuff is way to long and honestly needs to be looked at. Another thing is the tenticles that spawn should not do her Q damage. It should do a flat amount based on level. So like at 18 it'll do 200 damage (20+10perlevel) that seems alright. Also I should be allowed to kill ANY tenticle to get rid of this debuff not just ones spawned by the debuff.

Second: Its missle speed needs to be gutted, if not completely removed and made melee. It moves way to fast and feels like it has to much range.

Third: Test of Soul should not be able to be used once every 12 seconds. Its cooldown needs to be at minimum, the duration of the debuff. It should also not be effected by cooldown reduction so that way she can't be spamming it continuesly.

First, the debuff time is fine considering it can be reduced, has a whole bunch of conditionals on actually getting the debuff in the first place, and has a small amount of impact unless you continue to try to fight afterwards.

Second. The missile speed is already very slow as far as projectiles go (it travels at around Xerath E speed). In addition to this, it has a huge windup, long cool down, and does nothing if it doesn't hit a champion. Its also meant to be Illaoi's one attempt at dealing with a ranged opponent; if it didn't have range it would be a trash skill.

Third. You want a minute cool down on a basic ability? What? its actually got an 18 second cool down, reduced to somewhere around 12 with cdr. At level 18, that really shouldn't be an issue. Either don't get hit by it (its slow, telegraphed, and blockable) or fight her when she hits you with it, she still doesn't have a whole lot of options against a ranged champ despite test of spirit being pretty good.

Kill ANY 3 tentacles to get rid of it faster. Standing behind minions makes it useless. If it hits a minion it does nothing, it doesn't even affect the minions.

If she does get Test of Spirit pull on you... ATTACK HER! It will make it so she doesn't have as long to kill your spirit. I hope this helps.
