Something is seriously messed up with Illaoi

I was laning against her as Nasus. I did a great job just dodging everything and I was stacking very well and sustaining with passive, while she ran out of mana.

Got a hefty lead, I was lv 12 with Triforce and 2 kills, she was lv 10 with a Black Cleaver.

I come back to lane, she lands 2 Es in a row without touching me and does 80% of my HP just beating up on the clone.

It's like my 15-20 mins effort for someone underleveled to nearly 1 shot me by beating on my clone.

It's not only the E. This happens every game I lane vs her.

She barely touches me with spells and I am always just chuncked whatever champion I play.

She lands the occasional E, I have to play tentacle hentai game under tower.

God forbid I try to go all in, she 1 shots me before getting lv6 even.

I don't know why they buffed her some patches ago, it's complete non-sense.

i mean plenty of champions will beat your ass for hitting their whole kits twice on you regardless if you are ahead of them or not

If she lands E on you, either back out of the radius to take less damage or go in on her and force her off the clone.

Sitting around passively while she beats on your spirit is most of how she wins lane.

As an illaoi onetrick. Illaoi is not that strong rn. She is obnoxious to lane against as a melee sure, but if you were really two kills and levels up on her it shouldn't be an issue, especially as someone with inherently good sustain like nasus. In that situation

Don't let the wave ever push fully under your tower, illaoi e gets significantly easier to land on people trying to last hit under tower which leads to a hentai fest over landing repeated e's
Consistently dodge the e, seriously especially when she is maxing it, this ability is her whole kit, when you are winning, you only have to dodge it once
If you have any lead at all, wait for to miss a single e, check that she is not between two tentacles (below plat this will be 95% of the time or more since farming her tentacles is something you should be doing for free stax as nasus). Then proceed to all in immediately, illaoi is not a champion when she misses e and also anytime she doesn't have ult

Tldr you are complaining about losing a losing matchup, which illaoi generally hard stomps. Just because you have a kill or two doesn't mean you can ignore that enemies have kits, this is just more dangerous than most when dealing with illaoi considering she makes up for her lack of cc and mobility mainly through her 1v3 melees when 0/4 damage potential Hope that helps! :)

P.s. you play morde and darius, imagine complaining about the 20th ranked top laner while playing the 1st AND 2nd

If you want any more tips on illaoi and how to play as/against her check out DirtyMobs on YouTube or MoltenStorm (although Oceana is not a real region lol)

she lands 2 Es in a row

This is the problem. Also, you can just walk out of the circle, then get 2 free Q stacks on her tentacles, instead of watching your hp drop
