Really wish Illaoi could choose when to spawn tentacles

Illaoi should be able to choose when to summon tentacles. This can be approached in several ways but this idea seems the most practical to me:

  • Have it be a toggle similar to Neeko passive. If she attacks and enemy champion then the passive will become active regardless so the player doesnt have to click on the passive. When the passive is on standby she wont passively spawn tentacles. Bring back the 2 tentacle charges or better yet, have that tie in with E. Every other point in E adds 1 tentacle charge to your starting tentacles [1], maxing out at 4 total.

This buff wouldnt touch her numbers and make her feel much better. She can actually help her team in siegeing late game or playing around objectives without having to spend unnecessary amounts of time attempting to setup tentacles and can be with her team.

Fucking same, holy shit, I despise having the tentacles spawn at horrible places and just being like “Well, I hope my enemy clears that for me so I can properly use my kit.”

Simply have the passive require visible enemies within a certain range to spawn tentacles. That way, tentacles never get put somewhere that can't potentially hit an enemy. Illaoi couldn't just get an early kill and fill her lane with tentacles while her enemy respawns, she'd had to actively engage with them to claim space.

It would also be great to give the tentacles three health (up from two), but melee autos deal double damage. That way, ranged enemies would need to hit her tentacles an extra time to clear them (maybe have tentacles spawned by E still have two health).
