Heal debuff
If she's trying to push a wave she has to use her Q and she doesn't have a huge mana pool so she can oom
Constantly be moving
CC or be some kind of dash champion when she Ults to run away
Clear tentacles, only 2 HP and you get gold, plus it has a 20? Second CD early game to spawn a new one
Try to be near minions to block her E
Dont stand in her Ult = You won
most of this video holds true to this day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLiTGQML3pI
i'll edit this with things that aren't true anymore as i rewatch it:
- illaoi's spirit does not have its duration reduced when she takes dmg anymore
bonus tip from me: when dodging her tentacles, just walk in a circle around them. even the slowest champion with no bonus move speed can dodge tentacles by just walking in an arc around them
Her 2 skillshots are slow and can be dodged. When she ults youre either an immobile tank that can walk out of it, or you have some kind of dash
Illaoi is very ez to counter by dodging and CC. This is why you dont see her above Gold really
