What is balanced about illaoi?

MunchCrunchLunch··1 votes·846 views

explain to me yall fine ladies and gentlemen how is she not OP.? nothing subjective. i can't name an AD champion in this game that does collectively nearly as much damage as her.

her E is just too fucking oppressive. why do I have to lose CS. health. speed. Why can't i just leave the circle to get away from it. what kind of cancer is that. you are purposely making the game unfun to play like this.

why do her abilities scale off AD and not bonus ad like every fucking champion out there and why is it not under 100% ad off second hand damage? do teemo shrooms do 160% AP damage?. can you imagine them doing that much damage? sure. there is counterplay. but seriously.

speaking numbers here. how is she balanced . HOW?

you know how they created illaoi. they thought "how to make a champion to be the most unfun to play against" hmm" heimerdinger and ziggs are pretty bad to play against but lets take it up a million notches"

You ask how she's balanced and when people give examples you essentially tell them to fuck off? I guess you only want sympathizers commenting. In my opinion she's unfun in lane but other than that she's no different than any other champ, if she get's fed, she tends to snowball, if she's not fed (contrary to unpopular belief, she can go without getting fed), she's easy to deal with.

Just that she does nothing when you group mid and late game even when she gets fed lel

Her E is unfun? Compared to Blitzcrank Q it's a lot more forgiving.

wtf? his q DOESN'T STOP ME FROM CSING FOR 30 seconds. and its way easier to dodge. and its harder to land.

how are you getting back to lane only 30 seconds after dying? do you take revive? also jesus fucking christ illaoi's E range is tiny it's the easiest pull to juke in the game

Her Q is slow, short-ranged, and doesn't pass through minions. Even if she manages to mark you in lane, it's not that hard to CS through it; you just have to keep moving laterally to the walls (she even tells you how to counter it). You're right, a hook won't stop you from CSing. However, there's every chance that it'll kill you, so a bit of a tradeoff there.

I think you meant E not Q. Still very true.

Death generally stops cs for way more than 30 seconds and blitz's Q is way closer to certain death than landing Illaoi's slower, shorter range E

Her E is 900 range, which is shorter than Blitzcrank's although only by 25.

Her E doesn't go past minions so...

I'm also pretty sure her E copies your defensive stats so if YOU are having so much trouble dodging her E, just have a tanky support stand between yourself and her or BE A TANK because she is all PHYSICAL DAMAGE.

All of her damage comes from incredibly slow skillshots and her mobility is at the bare minimum.

If you stand back while she ults she'll stop scoring pentas on your team.

NO NO. I DONT GIVE. A FUCKING. SHIT. ABOUT. SKILL SHOTS. HER E SLOWS ME DOWN. SHE TAKES DOWN THE FUCKING TURRET. I CAN'T STAND. AND WATCH. I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. AND IF SHE DOES MORE DAMAGE TO ME THAN I DO TO HER AND THE TURRET COMBINED. THEN THERE IS NOTHING. SPEAKING NUMBERS HERE.

there is more to the fucking game. than dodging her attacks. and if there is like 3 tentacles. u cant dodge all of them. if you do. she attacks you. shes tanky.

Play as her just one time and you will discover her weaknesses. Your response to factual arguments informs me you will not accept any reply against your present opinion.

fuck off with that shit. all i care about is the numbers. there is a million skill shots in this game. and none of them do as much damage is illaoi. wait? how is automatic second hand damage counted as a fucking skill shot. teemo shroom is a skill shot then right?

Ahri Q has solid base damage, a much better ratio, and half of it being true damage throws it way above Illaoi Q

Did you shoot the tentacles after you were slowed?

Also think of her as Heimerdinger... would you dive into a team fight and completely ignore heimer's turrets?

Nope.

But I see people leave the dang tentacles alone
