Illaoi Unbalanced.

Standing promise and threat. IDGAF if I'm banned. Illaoi is 1v5 teams and wrecking regardless of position and farm. She needs all of her scales on all abilites nerfed. A champion hasn't been this bad since the induction of Mordekaiser. Now look at him: tier 2 if not 3. Blind pick is a fucking disaster with this champion. On my team or not she makes the game absolutely no fun and if I'm against her with my whole team or not she murders everyone. Fix this shit. That initial nerf was CLEARLY not enough.

Here's the first step to solving your problem. Step 1: Learn how to play against her. Here's the next step. Step 2: LEARN HOW TO PLAY AGAINST HER.

That's the problem. People just don't want to learn. There is at least one thread a day about "illaoi op, plz nerf"

Her q? Keep moving. It's also telegraphed like her E

Her W? Does little damage 15 base damage with 1 point in W + 10%AD at 5 points is does 95 + 10% AD, not that much early in the game.

Her E? Stay behind a minion or out of range. Her E stops at the first unit it hits. If she lands it? Hit her so it lowers the timer.

Her R? Just walk right out if it.

I remember the first game i played against an Illaoi. I was mid as swain. I had little knowledge of her kit and not sure what to expect. So what did I do? I tried to survive, held my ground, and tried to cs when I could without getting killed(I also took out her tenticles when i could). Then after I had 2 core items I would poke with E, Q to see how my damage was affecting her, then from there I pinged for jungler, landed my full combo plus ignite and killed her.

The unwillingness to learn I can understand, but it still frustrates me. Mainly because it feels unfair and thus we shouldn't have to learn around it. This is how I feel about Heimerdinger when playing a melee champion. His turrets are BS and I'd rather they be nerfed or changed than learn around them.

This isn't the right thing though. The better player adapts to the situation, learning the enemy strategy and finding ways to abuse it. With Illaoi , it's literally motion (which is her character in a nutshell) yet I see highly mobile characters ( Riven and Kennen ) fail to deal with her. I can only think that the players who couldn't dodge her with mobile champions are just not great.

A friend of mine fought her while playing Gnar for one of the first times. She did terrible for two reasons, she was still learning Gnar and she had never fought Illaoi (she had been busy with Grad school admissions) thus she didn't know what to expect. Thankfully she didn't cry for nerfs.

One thing I've learned on the forums, there is a way to deal with any champion. Some ways aren't great, but they exist. Putting things you learn into practice has mixed results, but they are mixed and not bad.

Oh I agree with you on heims turrets alright haha. Playing nasus, Shen or xin top does agaisnt a brim does get frustrating at times. And I also agree that there is always a way to deal with any champ.

First off

Passive- Killable

Q- Dodgeable

W- preventable with cc if melee or stay out of range while harassing even if it hits you just focus on dodging tentacles

E- dodge it, if you let it hit just fight her if you can do multiple hits fast; if you can't just leave the range and kill 3 tentacles

R- never fight illaoi under ulti, and spread out so she can't hit more than 1 target, if she pulls your spirit just leave range if youf eel her ulti is off cd. Try to wait until she misses an e until you engage so her ulti is meaningly.

Ask the ADC to buy an executioner calling (800g) as soon as lane phase is over it makes illaoi fall off pre-mid game rather than late game like usual

If you dont know the basics of repositioning you have no right to complain for illaoi actually doing something. She's horribly weak, yes she has damage but her flaws are easily abusable.
