Illaoi late game is way too OP

League of Legends Match History

So I just finished a game where we played a 5v4 (we had 5, they had 4) and both our mid and top fed both Lulu who was mid and Illaoi who was top. I myself was fed by mid game and was munching champs pretty quickly... except for Lulu and Illaoi: which makes sense.

However - while Lulu was very difficult to kill - Illaoi was impossible. She successfully went 1v5 and killed us without losing more than half of her 7k+ health; not only that, her movement speed was almost double mine. The only times we killed her was when our 3 cc attacks all landed well timed and held her for 5-10 seconds collectively.

If she is going to be that powerful, with that much health and armor: she shouldn't be that fast.

For reference, I was Jinx with these items equipped: item 3031 item 3072 item 3006 item 3036. We killed her once I added item 3094, and only barely - as I had stated. I went 19/10/8 and most of my deaths were from Illaoi, which started once we were 5-10 minutes into mid game. I have posted the match history in a link, hopefully it works, otherwise I'll edit this post to include it.

I believe Illaoi needs to be nerfed; at the very least her speed cut in half (or whatever will keep her slower than a fast ADC) for late game. This is my opinion and a possible solution; and hopefully you'll see where I'm coming from.

If you don't see where I'm coming from please let me know what I'm missing, it will hopefully give me perspective.

Edit: Just to be clear, my biggest issue isn't her health, armor, or damage (although that could be checked out): it's her speed. She is almost as fast as MasterYi , which is ridiculous when you consider nothing equally fed can 1v1 or 2v1 her.

instead of item 3036 try getting item 3033 instead against illaoi, her heals become super weak from grievous, even when she gets low.

She's not fast at all. She has literally no mobility. As Jinx, it should've been extremely easy. Set up traps to prevent her from coming at you, dodge the E, slow her if you can, and then just use the non-rockets DPS + crit to melt her instantly. Also, like Scarlet said, she's a sustain bruiser. Reminder is better than Regards because of the Grievous which essentially ruins her.

Don't fight in her ult? Its like complaining that the giant black circle on the ground in a WoW raidfight does too much damage when you just stand in it.

Once again, illaoi is an easy lane to play against, dont be a bronze and chose a squishy to face her. Dodge her abilities, harass her when she pulls your spirit, such an easy lane lol.

Illaoi isn't fast. Lulu was probably giving Illaoi a speed up, combined with Deadman's Plate and Black Cleaver, which would make her fast.

She also didn't have anywhere near seven thousand health.
