Can riot revert the changes to Illaoi tentacle vision?

When the change came out it made range matchups even harder by making them not have to commit to going in a bush to kill a tentacle. Not only does it reveal where you are cause if its active it means you are near but it gives up any sort of positioning you could of had if it werent. I cant tell you how many times I am doing baron with my team and I go to ward before hand and a tentacle is placed along the ward path and the enemy sees the trail of tentacles and finds us doing the baron. If its not that its not being able to invade the cause the tentacles give it away.

can put his barrels in bushes, pop them and summon one under your feat as the first explodes leaving very little reaction time to it. Something as important to 's kit shouldnt be able to be dealt with with such ease.

I see where youre coming from. I feel like they should compromise by making them visible within a certain range and see how she does then. That way it's not showing the enemy what objectives you're taking but there should be no reason to go melee range vs. illaoi as a ranged character for "counter play." That seems a little too far, as much as I hate top laners like quinn, vayne, gnar, teemo, etc. at times.

Im not saying that you shouldnt go ranged vs illaoi. All I am saying is ranged champs crapped on illaoi before the tentacle vision change but after it, it became a complete cake walk as they dont even have to worry about bushes as do with other champs. A riven can sit in a bush and wait and they have to either commit to checking, ward, or expect it and play further from the bush. With illaoi, if they see your tentacles active they know you are either in the bush or nearby making it much harder to use them as a way to protect yourself.

The last thing Illaoi needs are buffs, trust me.

No, trust me when I say she could use some QoL changes. She feels very inconsistent. Even when klepto was strong she had alot of quirks that would screw her bad.
