Illaoi should not have been released.
Illaoi, imo, doesn't belong in League. Everything about her gameplay screams RPG boss mob. Including the "unpredictability" such encounters have in many games. League is, by and large, build up around super CLEAR combat, you know why you die, you know who did it, you know how, and you know how to avoid it another time. I think it's mostly this that has made the game by far the biggest MOBA, and it's a clear difference to other titles such as DOTA 2, that incorporate ridiculous abilities, scalings and such. But when playing, and playing against illaoi, i find that i honestly have no clue why the AI is acting as it does. Why are the enemy illaois tentacles spawning more than mine? why are they attacking when i walk past them, while super far away from her? why are mine not? where did that damage come from? there are so many questions that on most champs have super obvious answers. and sure illaoi probably has those answers, but that they are not clear and easily readable to people who have not played a lot of the champ makes her, imo unsuitable for LoL.
