implying she was weak
she's just barely middle of the pack as far as top lane stats go
probably the 2nd best juggernaut but that's because everyone besides her darius and morde has been nerfed to death or forgotten

So is viable just supposed to mean the best? Because being in the middle still counts as Visble.

Ok? Still doesn't mean she wasn't unviable.
Everyone talking about tanks and ADC's, but I think Juggernauts might be the real winners from all this.
das right boi
this is our realm now
Poor mages though.
"Tanks to left of me, ADC's to my right, and here I am, stuck in the middle with you."
Bruisers usually tend to benefit greatly from durability item positive changes.
Still unsure about the death dance buff. Why buff it?
because it was only built on one champion who doesn't even abuse it 
now it makes for a pretty great offensive item for most juggernauts
possibly

I build it third on fiora when ahead. I'm very happy about all my items getting buffed too

Abuse.
The 30% deferred damage passive is going to be soooooo good for Illaoi. I don't think it'll break her just because she has such a huge amount of counterplay built into her kit (eg walking away).
Tanks got buffed.. Mages got nerfed... Adcs still suck..
Illaoi is not a tank
Thats what i thought too! The dd changes are amazing for her!
still trying to find out if changes are on live right now or not... no answers. =[
Yes, patch 7.9, it also has the new maokai sejuani and zac
She's been plenty viable since she was released.
