Illaoi supposed to just be instant win?

Arent champions supposed to have time frames where you can counterplay them? I play against illaoi my choices in lane are: stay at the edge of xp range and hope she doesnt force me out while she clears with 1 Q and 3 auto's, then get murdered under my tower because I try to clear and she is free to do what she wants, or: Die to her repeatedly while trying to contest farm/tentacles.

Even bad Illaois can just bully their way through a lane, I can dodge 8 q's 3 e's and hit like 6 vitals on her over the course of a laning period, then she hits 1 Q and the lane is equalized? God forbid she hits an E in the center of a lane between two tentacles, Im either dead or I miss the next wave of minions from being zoned.

I am venting, yes I get it, not all games are like this she isnt the most broken thing in the world. Still though, its not fun because if you dont have an entire item ahead of her by level 6 (which you wont) or a heavily snowballing damage jungler, you may as well just forfeit the lane because at that point your jungler coming to gank is just more dangerous than it is helpful.

Then theres the argument "she falls off late" or "she doesnt do well in teamfights" It doesnt really matter when she dominates the lane as hard as she can. I dont know what to do, short of banning her. Then I have to worry about my team selecting the new champ on release day with no games played on them. YAY
