Illaoi is the most toxic champion I've ever played against.

Before you downvote me to oblivion, atleast give me a chance. I was playing Riven, and again, before you say, "UGH a riven player...", there's a reason to this.

I versed an Illaoi last game, and it was the worst laning experience I have EVER faced. It was a complete 1v1 lane, and that was it, no ganks at all. I was able to get first blood on Illaoi, all good.

You expect me to snowball out of control, but in fact, she gets stronger then I do, and even though I dodge ALL of her abilities, her tentacles are toxic as hell, and slaughter me. It's honestly disgusting dude. Then, I'm like, "Ok."

After level 6, I go on her, under my tower, all works well right? No, because apparently an Illaoi can towerdive at level 6, and win with half health. One may argue, "Buhh but, why don't you dodge the tentacles?". I did, but apparently, if I make one mistake, I lose the lane entirely. Riven is a lane bully, Illaoi is a lane bully, so you'd expect it to be even right? Apparently not, and according to an Illaoi guide, Riven is a SKILL matchup.

You know those lanes where you feel like, "Wow, I am better than this lane opponent... Yet, he won." That's how I felt right there, I played almost everything correctly, dashed to take damage, fast comboed, everything. Yet, because of her tentacles, I was unable to win, she missed all of her skillshots, was unaware how to use her abilities at ALL....

Do something about Illaoi, please Riot. Her soul grab thing is obnoxious, making you get spammed by tentacles, and her R is absolutely ridiculous. Pls.

Illaoi is trash right now, basically a skill issue. Get better, learn how to dodge.

right now? You mean from the start when even before release players, not even high elo players but players in general knew that basic repositioning countered all of illaoi's kit xD.

Can't wait for the changes to illaoi to come soon like riot promised with the things they're trying out for her.

You didn't dodge all of her abilities or you would not have died. That much is clear.

Also, ever face against LB? Zed? Etc. There are a lot more toxic champions inheritly through their design intended to blow you up, and get out with no damage.

Obviously you didn't dodge everything because you lost....

You keep saying her tentacles were the problem, why didn't you remove them?
