She's incredibly simple to counter. Walk away when she ults. That's it. It's a basic game function that everyone needs in order ro even play.

She has been garbage since release. I love her to death, but there is a reason why she stops working in plat+.

Before you walk out of her ulti range you can say bye to your 60% of your hp...ALso how do you walk out her ulti range when you get 2 shoted in like a second?

The tentacles swing so slowly that you can easily not get hit by any of them.

Dodge her E. That is a large portion of the damage that you are likely noticing for these one shots. She will decimate people if she lands E and you chose to stick around close to her. Pre 6, go ahead and fight her over spirits. After 6, if you are grabbed just run.

When she ults, blow a CD. Whether it be flash, some kind of dash, etc. You NEED to fet out of her ult. She has no CC to hold you in place. The best she can do is get an IBG which, for a large amount of champions, should not be able to hold them in place outside of ult.

What are your specific issues you have when you fight her? Again, there are plenty of good reasons why she is terrible in high elo, but does amazing in low elo.

im not saying he"s op but if riot will keep buffing him patch after patch he"ll become one.Remember what happen to azir and lucian on release? Every whine how weak they are then riot start to buff them non stop ,and look at those fuckers now.And from the history we now ,how riot loves to overbuff champs.

Those aren't exactly fair comparisons though. Both of them have high mobility, high reliability, and consistent damage even outside of their ults. Illaoi has literally none of that. Heck, Azir's case is an even WORSE comparison because when he first came out he was legitimately weak. He had tons of bugs, some of which weren't even ficed til a year after his release.

I do understand your point. But I'm hard pressed to buy it when a large majority of players don't even play against her right. She is terrible high elo because of the issues inherit with her kit. Azir was bugs / skill issues (he took people a long ass time to master) and lucian historically hasn't ever really been a bad choice. He was a generalist pick that was too strong for a long while, they reworked him to be a more close range adc, and they JUST nerfed him becauss his range was still too strong.

Better champs to compare Illaoi to would be other melee champions with heavy damage, low mobility, and either next to or no cc. Darius / Mord would be better comparisons, but even they don't fit properly because they aren't forced to stick by zones (tentacles) to fight, and they can still do decently without their ults mid fight.

80% of her playerbase just sucks and doesnt know how to play her so her winrate looks low but the other 20 just knows how to murder your ass

She already gets pentas simply by pressing R. Zero skill required. Press R, tentacles do all the damage for you. You dont even have to aim anything. And dont even get me started on the E

She's incredibly unfun to play against and should not be getting buffs with her current kit.

She's a massive turd to lane against but beyond that she doesn't really do much of anything. I'd rather have a CC machine like Malph or Naut on my team.
