why are people so rustled by illaoi's E?

it actually doesnt do that much damage and you only need to kill 3 tentacles for it to end. its only really scary if your 1 hit from dying to a tentacle... and even then its still insanely easy to dodge. everything else is just visual.

It's new and people don't understand it.

It happens time and time again with new champions offering something unique. Name any recent addition to the roster and somebody can easily point out at least one thing everyone complained about when the champion was released that the players learned how to deal with once they understood the champ.

The same reason they complain about yasuo even though he's balanced after shiv+warlord nerfs, people just want to see things they don't feel like dealing with gutted.

Issue with the yasuo comparison is that a large part of the community has never STOPPED thinking yasuo is too much.

Oh god really? I felt like it only started when shiv buff+warlord came out lol

No, that just caused more complaints. Yasuo is one of those perennially hated champions like Riven. People will always complain about them.

Actually riven was just out of hand cause LW gave her consistant damage through an entire team fight after the nerf she's where she belongs atm

Riven got his pretty badly with the LW change, so her performance has taken a huge hit. If Riot throws out some more substantial buffs, we'll see more "RIVEN OP QQ" threads as soon as they announce their intent.

Its an anoying version of Darius E in my opinion... More dangerous in fact. But like you said, its not op or anything, its easy to dodge and play around it

Because it has no counterplay. If she hits it, you're dead. Trying to stop her will just make you take more damage since shes hitting both you and your champion itself. If the buff goes off, hitting 3 tentacles isn't easy when shes in your face... That's 6 autos and running around the map finding tentacles to kill.

A bruiser that can 1v5 shouldn't have the damage of an assassin that is also tanky with heals. Or a pull like that stupid E. She should need to get into the fight. Not hit someone with a pull and kill them from range.

The part I hate about Illaoi is her 1.0+ Total AD scalings,terrifyingly annoying.

Imagine a thresh hook, that doesnt pull you, but instead automatically lets the ADC deal some damage to you nowhere near you. but hey, you can BREAK THE TETHER. break the tether = debuff which spawns tentacles aroun you, creating a gauntlet dont break = get hurt and still get the debuff.
