@riot Please Nerf Illaoi

Hashìrama··4 votes·1,480 views

Illaoi is a very over powered Champion. I would like Riot to nerf these ideas i am about to show you. Illaoi Has a very far ranged tentacle smash. Comparable to adc's rang and other ranged champs. The duration of the smash is like 0.5 seconds until it lands. I would like you to nerf the range.

Illaoi Spirit Pull is very annoying. It can be casted on the same champion over and over again. Please nerf Illaoi by making it that once it has been casted it cannot be casted again until the the duration of the first one that has been it has ended.

And lastly Illaoi ultimate or "r" ability is very over Powered. It spawns alot of tentacles and can one shot champs even if you build full tank on Illaoi which means not that much damage. But that is the exact opposite. Illaoi can get penta kills ( look it up on youtube ) because of her ults heal. Please nerf her ult's heal and make it that it can do only 3/4 of the original damage. Thank for reading this and hopefully you and other people will agree on this.

Given that the only thing she can do is stat check people hard, and that really is the only thing she can do, I suggest not doing anything that overly jeopardizes that. Try poking at her in any way other than literally the only thing she can possibly bring to a given team comp.

She really does have problems. I still find her ult radius too small.

Illaoi is a champ that crushes you if you don't know what to do against her,you just have to learn what you need to do.

Some tips:

  • Illaoi has no escapes,if she pushes too far,she is easy fodder for your jungler(but be careful if she is fed,Illaoi is a rather item-dependant champ,so if she gets a lot of gold early on,she becomes easily a monster).

  • She can be bursted down in teamfights.Her tankyness relies on hitting enemies with her tentacles,but for that she usually has to use her ult in the middle of your team,then use her W and wait for her tentacles to spawn and attack,if your team reacts quickly,then you can burst her down before she can do all this.

  • Kill her tentacles when possible.Illaoi has no direct control where exactly they spawn,so there will be situations where they spawn in positions where you can attack them without risk

  • Be very careful when you approach her near her tentacles,the tentacles might be slow,but can do quite some damage

  • Probably the most important oneIf she grabs your soul,then its usually a bad idea to run away.Running away causes you to be turned into a vessel and slows you,if you instead attack illaoi directly then it will cause your soul to return faster to your body and most likely deny illaoi the chance to turn you into a vessel.Though of course running away can be the better option if you are low health/she is fed/she has her teammates to outnumber you

  • If you are a vessel,then be careful,tentacles will spawn around you and attack you automatically,so stay in motion,the effect can last for a whole minute but stops if you kill 3 tentacles(wait for them to spawn,dodge their attack and then attack them).It won't count if your teammates kill the tentacles,so if they do it,then tell them to stop it.

Random fact: You can interrupt her ultimate.

Didn't know that...how?

Any form of CC or displacement as she's leaping up. She's actually super frustrating to use against teams with splashable CC because you'll leap to drop your ultimate and get randomly stunned or whatever, nullifying it completely.

Still no planned nerfs for this champ and a Tahm? They are not challenging in a fun way to have to deal with. There is challenging where it is rewarding if you do things right but even doing everything right is not enough against these champs. They have to mess up fairly hard on their own.

Yeah still staying away from league for the time being. Just not enjoyable currently.

They made a post detailing on how they are going to nerf Tahm Kench whereas Illaoi is not gonna get nerfs because she just sucks. She has so much counter play with little outplay potential.

First how do you interrupt her ultimate. Second, i was playing gnar one time but i got crushed in both forms even when i got a gank. And lastley she can spawn tentacles every 2 or 3 seconds even if you take on down. Also how do interrupt her ultimate if she slams down in a second?

And thanks for the comments guys. I really do enjoy your thoughts
