Can we agree that Illaoi needs nerfed?
When I first started watching Illaoi games, she seemed really op. Her moves stack REALLY well, she can zone like nobody's business, and heals more than her opponent can do to her. So, I played some games in hopes of going against an Illaoi to see just how hard she was to play against and was quickly frustrated with playing top lane. I thought, Nasus could be a good counter since he can just feed in her tentacles, but she does so much damage early game, it didn't matter. It was impossible to farm because she spawns tentacles so often and getting hit by just one takes a lot of health, and if you get your spirit pulled you have 2 options: stay and fight and take a shit ton of damage, or run, become a vessel, and probably get hit by the tentacles that have a buggy hit box and still take a shit ton of damage. I've watched so many games with Illaoi and I've never seen her do poorly; at worst, she has an average game. I just watched a game where she was 3-2, and the enemy team engaged her in a team fight (4v1) and she almost killed two of them. The only reason those champs survived was because they flashed away...that should NEVER happen. Her ult plus the amount she heals is too good of a combination and teams can't compete against that.
Maybe I just don't know how to fight her, but one thing is for sure, she is way too strong and needs nerfed. I think this champ is perpetuating the thought that people should only be playing ADCs and assassin champs. Most melee champs and mages are obsolete, This game can't be fixed by creating another op champ to counter the previous op champ you just made; I think they need to work out the balancing issues that are occurring.
Anyway, I digress. Illaoi is overwhelmingly op and league needs to take a good long look at how to fix her.
