i was playing tank maokai in top lane. just got hammered by this illaoi. end up feeding her so bad even my adc couldnt kill her in 1v3 situation.i know that illaoi u suppose to hit and run but her cd is so low now that she doesnt even give a chance to lane. these buffs were unnesscary. i mean idc imma just ban her from now. i can deal with darius but not these.
Moody P4 voteschamp that counters tanks countering tanks
CD on E doesn't matter because she maxes it first lol
Alzon2 votesYeah I was kinda confused about that too. Placebo buff tbh.
Salvor Hardın1 votesI agree.
Dark Vaatu1 votesthen why her q does like 1/3 of my health.
TheSingularity1 votesBecause you fed her and never completed an item. Illaoi had 2 damage items. You had 5 item components. You were then 3 levels down as well as 40 CS behind.
Illaoi is shockingly easy to deal with, by not dealing with her. Ignoring her and beefing up is the best way to go, because she has no strong engage and if she doesn't get rolling, she becomes team dependant. First item sunfire/deadmans/glory depending on who you are. Tabi next. If you need greivous wounds get executioners because it's cheaper and the dmg will help you last hit under tower. Which ever item you start, finish it. The biggest mistake you made in that game was building 5! bloody item components. This allowed him to smash you, make you fall behind and you were useless from then on. A tank that can't tank may as well AFK.
Dark Vaatu1 votesat some point i wanted to change my build. but i felt sunfire cape wouldnt help that much. i played some of my part poorly. but those buff on illaoi was unnesscary.
TheSingularity1 votesShe had cooldown reductions. She received no innate increase to the damage of each spell.
Change that "some of" to a "most if not all of".
Illaoi is like heimerdinger or urgot. They punish you for playing poorly or making stupid decisions. If you don't do that they become a fish out of water because they lack the tools to effectively initiate on their own, especially post lane phase. Illaoi is a textbook match up of avoid 1 spell, farm until you're so fat she barely tickles you. She has little she can do to surprise you, so you simply need to know what she does, how she wants to do it and how you should react. It is tougher, because juggernauts in general shit on tanks. If you picked maokai after she locked illaoi than that was your first mistake if you weren't confident in surviving her.
Perhaps take second wind instead of bone plating as her damage is mainly spells. And I would recommend taking domination for the additional healing. Maokai gains allot of his survivability through his passive and heals so boosting that will also boost your sustain. Given their team comp, going chain vest into spirit visage would've been fine
MrFawknSunshine1 votesas a maokai main this is the legit worst lane for maokai. dont ever play maokai into octobitch
