Illaoi Breaks Games

The new champion Illaoi is so unbelievably strong. I don't want to say broken because I never played her and so, I don't qualify to judge. But from the games I played against her, its one hell of a ride. First of all, her damage is insane both early and late game. Not to mention she gets hella tanky late game which makes her almost impossible to kill in team fights when she has item 3053. Her E is probably the most annoying skill in her kit to deal with. I was playing a game of Darius and I was full build with almost 300 armor and 5,000 health. She manage to land a E on me before team fight starts. I knew right away to run away from her but she dealt 2/3 of my max health with no effort at all. I was left with like 1,500 health. The worst of all? I can't do ANYTHING about it. Also there's this other problem that I'm facing but when Illaoi spawns all those tentacles, my FPS drops to the 6-10 range. It's so annoying because while she kills my team, I'm standing there with 06 FPS. And I can confirm its not just because I play on a toaster. It's every time when she uses ult that my frame drops.

Overall, Illaoi currently dominates top lane and I think shes a bit too strong. What do you guys think?

ofc, any champ is beatable. however, illaoi isn't just something you can walk up and outplay because she will kill you quickly with her tentacles. Usually a gank is required but sometime, a good illaoi can outplay and double kill EASILY with a lot of tentacles

She's definitely not broken, I know from many games with her. But you're right, she's extremely strong. I expect tweaks to be quickly on the way. I'm not sure about top lane as I never play her there, but in any teamfight, Illaoi is DANGEROUS. The thing with her is you can't just go ham and trade blows up close with ANY of her teammates in teamfights, because you give her clearance to E you and ult your whole team to death. E + W + Q when all five of the enemy are grouped together, going toe to toe against a single target, is no less than 11 tentacles in like 2.5 seconds.

She's broken in the sense that it gives her the ability to bring the FPS down on my PC from what is normally around 72 FPS with the lowest settings on to 20 FPS or lower. Other than that she is fairly easy to beat in lane if you know what to expect from her kit. She doesn't have a very good engage with her ult because you need to be fairly close but is great in jungle fights due to the small area and AOE with her tentacles. Don't let her grab your soul and dodge her tentacles because they are very slow and predictable.
