Illaoi Made Me Sad

Now I'm not the bestest lawyer in these...wait..

I'm not the best player around, and I tend to practice weird builds and strange approaches to life.

However I've been playing for a bit now after my two year hiatus and there have been four champions that have made me growly. Zed KogmaW(getting nerfed) Xin Zhao(Nerfed!) Illaoi.

Now the hatred for Zed is pretty obvious on the forum and I don't need to expand upon it. Personally I feel that his early game needs a tweak toward softening, and that might be the main thing...but I digress...

The real heart of the commentary is Illaoi. Illaoi. ILLAOI. ILLAAAOI. Ill is in her name and she is a toxic entity in the game. My friends made a comment and it really made sense. Illaoi is very much like Xin Zhao was prior to being nerfed. She can fight large groups, out heal the damage being dealt by 3-4 people and pentakill like a mofo.

It's absurd how she can build tank and significantly outdamage everybody else in the game.

She has no mobility and no escape. Only time she is effective is when all 5 people are stacked in a team fight. She can't engage so she doesn't fit into very many team comps, making her a tough pick in most elos. Sure, she is good in bronze and silver...but outside of that she is a bruiser/tank that doesn't really fill the bruiser/tank job responsibilities.

...and Riot doesn't tweak champs to make them fit into lower elos. She is hardly picked in higher elos...she is right where she needs to be in terms of balance.

Illaoi's numbers are too high, yes.

Could stand to get a couple of nerfs but nothing serious... Zed needs massive nerfs.
