Illaoi QoL Ideas
There's some stuff with illaoi (other than the numerous bugs) that, if changed might make her more playable.
-
Currently when a nearby tentacle dies there's a noise that lets you know it got killed. Well, that noise is way too low, i even listen to music so it's unhearable and i can't know if the enemy jungle is coming (because most jungs clear tentacles before coming). Instead of noise it could be nice to have the "warning" ping placed on the tentacle that gets atacked, that way is more noticed.

While q-ing, there's the hitbox of the tentacle showing up on the terrain. If illaoi gets displaced she still q-s on the same range her q has, but the hitbox on the terrain remains in the same place. It would be better if that hitbox moved with illaoi so you can better know if you can hit a distant target.
-
When illaoi uses "joke" a tentacle comes from the ground and illaoi fist bump it. It would be more fun if she could interact with tentacles spawned from the map, and like fist bump them. :)
Tell me what you think.
PS: Another nice thing is not getting stuck in tentacles, you already have minions that block you, now even tentacles can?
EDIT: Make the W (when in close range) uncancelable by moving
EDIT 2: While having the mouse over a tentacle, it should show the hitbox in which it can hit, so you can better position yourself. Or any other way of showing the hitbox.
EDIT 3: While you have the passive active you should be able to replace a tentacle you already have nearby. Many times a tentacle gets placed in the wrong place, and unless the enemy kills it it remains there for the entire time. By replacing it, you can change it to a better location, and also refresh its hp. EDIT 4: Instead of a having a CD automatically spawn tentacles system, it would be better to have a charge system (with the same CD) that makes you choose where to spawn tentacles when clicking a wall with the left click. These charges can increase with lvl (from 1 to 3 for example) and have a spawning cd so you don't end up spawning 3 tentacles in one second.
