...use your range to kill the tentacles?
I mean they give gold. Do you just let them stay there?
I haven't seen her as supp yet, but had some weird person try her as an adc. Just farm her tentacles. If you get a few random cs here and there and mostly take the tentacles you can keep up in gold. Honestly I think it's stupid to take her bot where a good adc can stay out of reach of her attacks while farming her crap for gold.
I was an adc to an illoai. I start cull because I know ill be free farming. Hahahaha
If you go satan and illoai.. its even more.stupid...
It's seriously broken. OP? Maybe not.
She can spawn testicles under the tower. Literally under the physical structure of the tower. That is seriously broken and in my last game unbearable to play with when the enemy has you pushed under the turret. Had I not been Nami we would have lost the tower before 8 min because we would have been forced to recall even more often than we were.
In the end we won a few all-ins. Illaoi was not able to bring as much to the fight and we ended up coming out on top. So I would say she isn't OP. But she is extremely hard to deal with in ways she shouldn't be.
I've seen an Illaoi support once. I was a support and my adc refused to hit the fucking tentacles. It was unbelievably irritating.
How about you use your ranged autoattack on the tentacle and collect free gold as an ADC? Or even as a support, you don't lose anything. It won't counterattack unless you are a vessel or she uses her leap on you - and considering that her leap is 350 range, it is pretty darn obvious when she's going for it. Oh, and even then it has a sizeable delay.
And also, if you complain about Illaoi's E taking up to 25% of your HP when you get hit, remember - if that was Blitz, Thresh or Morgana, all standard support picks, you'd lose far more than 25%.
Seiously, I don't get it how people complain about her in support role. All she brings is damage (and ask yourself, what was the last time any support that offers all damage and zero utility was viable), and all of it is avoidable - not to mention how easy it is for a ranged champion to kill her tentacles. So in botlane she brings conditional damage, no CC, no peel for her ADC and no team utility outside of her E. If I wanted a one-trick support in my team I'd opt for Blitz who has far more impact with a skillshot of near same range and cooldown.
...now, in her best case scenario - if their jungler ganks and she smacks all of you and you continue fighting in the middle of 4 tentacles that's kinda your fault, not the champions.
If you're struggling vs Illaoi support that means your support was pretty awful. I have yet to lose lane to an Illaoi support, although it is annoying, she isn't really THAT strong of a support.
You're probably the only guy who thinks she can support,or is good against adcs for that matter Slow Q,Slow Passive,0 CC. Better off with LeBad support.
She isnt OP. Who was your support I wonder. She should be ganked constantly for having no peel. I know your jungler didn't do this because I have found that most junglers are afraid of kill lanes (lanes that dont have typ meta supports). She has no mobility and no peel for her adc. Bot lane ganks should produce 4 kills by level six. She is as strong as Tahm in lane with no utility. It is annoying, yes but far from OP. Low levels of team work when dealing with kill lanes is OP.
It's so much fun. She has no peel and that is the only weakness I can think of. Well unless your adc doesn't attack when you land your soul poll but that isn't really up to you. BTW if you get relic shield you can proc it off your E if you last hit it.
She stands still for a set period of time when she uses skills. Abuse that. Her tentacles are free gold 90% of the time. Make sure your jungler doesn't blindly gank bot lane. Her entire kit is skill shots. Dodge it. Did I mention she stands still when she casts skills? Like she has such a long wind-up and significant downtime when she misses.
She's even worse than top as a support all she has as a support is laning phase
And that's only if the jungler doesn't gank since she can't peel them off the adc.
She's in need of a rework I would suggest http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/16saqRzt-riot-illaoi
That way they can tune down her damage and other stuff without worry.
I've played against Illaoi Support 2-4 times already, she can deal damage if the other ADC and/or Support just leave the tentacles alone. Her problem as a Support is that she has no peel for her ADC and can't harass too well if the ADC and Support kill the tentacles.
what about 
support? (the new one) its like gtfo of here
Eh, I've played some Illoai supp, and it's really only OP against enemies that don't stand behind minions and run out of range of their spirit every time instead of fighting back. Support Illoai is like a worse version of support Blitzcrank because even if you land your only utility move the enemy can basically negate its effects by fighting back.
The funny part is when she gives both herself and her lane partner 25 gold per spirit pull, that beats ANY blitz or thresh grab or hook.
Relic shield Illaoi is OP even on top lane, just ask the jungle to gank often.
she is not op, just incredible annoying
Can't you attack the tentacles at a safe distance, being a marksman and all, and just keep getting free gold from her passive?
I totally agree - Ilaoi kind of ruins the fun of laning because of her overwhelming abilites. I played her a lot of games and she is unbeatable in lane
Played against her last night. She was easy to deal with. I play 
Supp, and I zoned her very easily. Level 2 kill on the adc. Constantly punished her when she used her E. It wasn't as bad as most people say. My 
had a difficult time farming as she did not really understand Illaoi but I did and things were extremely easy to deal with.
It's so easy to kill the tentacles in a duo lane. Supp illaoi is kinda bad in my experience
She's like an AD control Mage. Range destroys her.
Support main here. I've had to play against Illaoi Supp so much. Her Q isn't the real problem, it's her E. Since she doesn't have to worry about CS, she can just spam Test of Spirit. It has too long of a duration for its cooldown.
(But to be fair, it might be slightly easier to deal with if dumb ADCs stop killing the tentacles when I'm the vessel because "muh 5 goldz")
I'm a support/mid lane main and I have tried Illaoi support multiple times. It has only worked once and that was because the enemy adc was absolutely terrible. All the other times, I got shut down. Hard. Sure, she has the decent range Q with built in lifesteal, the E that slows and does % hp damage, the insane ult that only truly works with a team fight. But if you take her against a good adc, you will lose 95% of the time. Its not OP by any means. You just got stomped because you don't or didn't understand how she works.
