i cant keep doing this lol. if i dont ban irelia ryze or illaoi, im going to have a hard time.

why does top have to be like this. why do i have to keep busting my ass to play my lane vs someone who doesnt need to do anything but mash buttons?

why is riot ok with illaois laning phase.

she has oppressive laning phase, great mid game, and amazing late game with teamfighting.

at what stage does a bad illaoi shine? i just went vs a boosted diamond 1 illaoi that missed every q every e but after she got blackcleaver deaths dance to my 4 items she shredded me . ye it was me getting ganked as well but how she put out that damage is beyond me.

nerf her base damage or for gods sake increase her e cd. i cant keep doing this riot. please god fix that champions laning phase.

i was 2-0 in lane with turret down and 45 percent cdr riven and i still found it annoying to have to keep doing circles and dodging shit every 3 seconds because of a champ designed poorly.

She def needs to be toned down , in ARAM she just 1 v 5 everyone .

But like, dodge the tentacles.

It's no different than fighting a Nasus or Darius. You have to kite them. If you make a mistake and they get into range, you're dead. That's how juggernauts work.

Illaoi isn't weak at any specific time in game, she's weak in certain situations. Just dodge her E, kill her tentacles and poke her whenever you can, engage on her when she makes a mistake / has no Mana, and kite her out of her ult. If she uses her E without any tentacles nearby you can just poke her to make it go away. Once it's gone you can engage on her so she gets 1 tentacle max. from her ult.

Maybe you should play her a few times to get feeling for when she's weak? Hang in there anyhow.

Oh wow, a Riven main (AkA, annoying AF no-mana dashy ass champ like Yas) is salty that they can't steam roll a certain champ lol! Rich ..

Anyway, it's funny how there's so many random Illaoi threads now. Seemed like I haven't seen her in months because everyone came to the conclusion that "she's trash" cause da youtube guy says you just gotta walk outta her ult ... then everyone forgot to respect her space and are looking foolish.

And I wouldn't call her laning oppressive. Most melee tops these days have some kinda dash and CC so I play like a complete bitch until level 3-6. Depends on the match up really ... spamming Qs = pushing the lane which is bad before you're at a good level.

I wanted to give you a serius response but then i noticed you are a Yasuo main ..... guess it's not fun to have a champ who you can't trade with and can shut your undeniable lane phase.

You just play a champ as annoing as Illa ..... now you know how ppl feels about that XD
