I feel like teamfights in normal games are going to be very...

hectic.

more so than usual.

People are going to cry out "OP" all over the boards. But she is very easy to deal with. When she ults.... RUN or you will die.

Oh she is OP I hate that she is "melee" and that her tentacles cover the entire width of the lane AND attack fast. They stay there after she dies like I played as her and against her in the beta and she can literately take a Tank GAREN

Garen:item 3071 item 3748 item 3083 item 3065 item 3143 Illoui: 1 tanky item and item 3748 ' in her inventory took him down to lower then half health with her soul stealing thing. Then you cannot outrun the tentacles AS THEY SPAWN WHERE EVER YOU GO EVERY TEN seconds.

Dealing true damage+ damage+ "range" to a melee= if you are are smooshy top or melee top you will need all the tentacle remover. Her as a Sup is WORSE as she wont let you NEAR her adc and then steals their soul and can ONE SHOT THEM with her soul stealing and tentacle chase ability.

I've played 5 or 6 games with her on both sides on the PBE and we both agreed to test things wit her against champs, her x garen x jinx x azir Azir though has range on her to out maneuver her tentacles, but her damage even at level one is huge so it's very hard to fight against her.

Even away, mid lane away from walls they spawn and slap you so hard they can kill a half health garen in almost 4 shots. (You do not know the rage i felt knowing that there is literately no way to counter her unless she DC's in the beta)

Ummm... no. she is not op.

The tentacles have 800 attack range, and lanes on rift are 1000 units wide at their thinnest points (the corners of the map in top and botlane are much larger). They cannot attack quickly. Tentacles are capable of swinging once every 10 seconds against spirits and vessels, but otherwise do nothing until Illaoi hits a unit with her W. If you are a vessel, the tentacles will spawn wherever you go, yes, but their attacks are incredibly easy to dodge and they die in two hits. Illaoi has no true damage in her kit, and the rest of that sentence doesn't make any sense. As a support, Illaoi is trash. Ranged champs negate her passive if they have enough brain cells to right click. She has low utility, and saying that she can "ONE SHOT THEM" with her soul stealing is bullshit. Even at max rank, it only carries over 45% of the damage dealt to the spirit, and they will only die to tentacle spawn if they are either not paying attention or they don't know what Illaoi does.

Her level 1 damage is not that high. Her passive is meaningless because she doesn't have her W yet, and her Q at level 1 deals a whopping 10+120% AD.

As for there being "literally no way to counter her", here are some ways to counter her. Kite her. Kill tentacles. Dodge the fucking skillshots. Run out of range of the spirit ASAP. The Vessel mark is worth avoiding the damage, since you can clear it by simply killing 3 tentacles. Ignite her. Don't let her build up tentacles. Don't fight in her tentacles. Bait the ult. Camp her (seriously. She has no defensive mobility, and no readily available CC. She can't escape without flash, and if behind, she provides next to nothing due to her lack of utility) Get armor. CC her. Stand behind a tank so she can't E you. Play a ranged toplaner, since you will negate her passive. Keep teamfights on the move. She is reliant on staying near her tentacles, so taking the fight away from those devastates her.

I bet people are going to bitch about killing tentacles. It'll be less dangerous than GP barrels.

Oh its going to take some serious concentration to keep your eyes on your champ hahah. Been watching gameplay and at one point 2 illaoi's got their ults off on full teams and I can just see people with their poor toasters crying now.. Freaking dozen tentacles on the screen at once, I feel like at that point you just run to base and wait until everything subsides hahah
