Very reasonable Illaoi change

Big Lincoln··8 votes·550 views

Make W cause all active tentacles to swing in target direction, regardless of whether or not they're in range to hit that target.

Now she can create reasonable threat and isn't so easily cheesed by moving just slightly out of her range. Still easily outplayed by just paying attention to her tentacles, but punishes you for silly dashing around her or for someone else being a near tentacle when she's on the attack. Also dramatically increases her potential for plays based on positioning in teamfights.

Reasonable.

What do you mean "a champ like that"? You realize she's garbage for the most part?

Then Renekton is doing something wrong.

Feel like pointing out specific timestamps instead of just mentioning a 36 minute video? Also, it's his second newest, not newest.

But. That's not retarded. That's perfectly reasonable. She pulled out Renekton's soul with E, got MULTIPLE hits in on him, and Lee didn't juke anything at all and got hit by every single hit.

Feel like finding a better argument instead of just crying?

She wouldn't be that rewarded for hitting her E if they didn't both play like fucking idiots (Lee Sin more so) and just stand in her fucking face to get hit by every single shot continuously. At least Solorenektononly was smart enough to actually back out.

Stop complaining.

so Renekton AND Lee stand in her tentacles after she lands E, letting her do bonus damage to Renekton and heal off them

All 3 hit by Q, Renekton eats the second tentacle from W hit and has to back off

so they played like absolute shit against her and she blew Lee up for it

so busted LMAO

Illaoi is the fairest lane bully in the game, what's your issue with her?

would you rather we buff the ones who just click on you to shit on you in lane?

Honestly Renekton's probably more fair than Illaoi

the champion with unavoidable burst combos that can jump through minion waves and back is more fair than possibly the most telegraphed champion in the game?

Rene has to get close to you to harass you and is vulnerable afterwards(second E dash).

Illaoi gets more range, healing, waveclear, and teamfight.

I think Illaoi already has enough zoning potential. Her Q hits incredibly hard and if she lands her E you get punished like hell. On top of that her ult: the ability that forces your entire team to disengage even if Illaoi is solo.

Don't know if she needs buffs right now in general, her win rate seems fine. But if she needs something, it is definitely not more zoning.

her E is the least punishing pull/hook ability in the game despite being the slowest and the easiest to punish for missing

lux is getting buffed despite having more than triple the pick rate with roughly the same w/r.

i would suggest that her cast times reduce with level since Lucian got it despite not needing it, but that'd never go through on boards

Her E doesn't function as a pull or hook like Thresh' or Blitzcranks. It is mostly a damage amp combined with a slow and zoning if you manage to kill the soul. Just because there is a tentacle grabbing you doesn't mean you should compare it to a hook.

And Lux getting buffs does mean that every champ with 50% winrate should get one? I don't understand that argument.

Her E does 45-80% current health,plus deathfire;, that's almost as good as Blitz hook on a squishy, and it's way better on tanks.

Doesn't that make her laning phase even more oppressive?

It's helpful in teamfights, especially the build-up phase, but her W is really low CD(and you get 40% cdr on her real fast).
