Illaoi's soul stealing is Broken

Illaoi has here e which isn't remotely balanced. First off if you try to run away it is absolutely impossible due to the slow and massive damage from leaving your soul. If you stay and fight than her entire team goes in and she ults which makes a massive aoe, u die now. This would be ok if she was prone to something like cc or squishy. Though she isn't susceptible to cc due to here tentacles dealing all the damage and she isn't squishy as she is a tank. Rito please make some counterplay as I find fighting Yorick easier to play against than Illaoi . Also it is rubbing salt in the wounds of all of us who have suffering play styles due to season 6 changes (such as turrets are now as useful as full item 3089 RekSai .

There's like, 3 ways to counterplay her E.

  1. Dodge

  2. Draw their attention away from your soul.

  3. Take the curse, it ain't that big a deal and can be removed fairly easily...

The e is fairly easy to dodge and gets minion blocked. If you do get hit though just walk out of range (this way you take minimal damage) then dodge and kill the tentacles. I've used her and played against her enough in the PBE to say shes very well balanced as long as you understand her mechanics.

There are several ways to try and counter the E as already stated. Try just simply remove the vessel debuff, try to position better, or try and stop the focus on your soul (this can be done several ways which I hope you understand)
