may I understand why for a juggernaut? I mean she needs buffs. but why the fuck did you buff her damage? shes incredibly fucking awful to lane against even when she was weak.

laber her as burst mage. not a juggernaut.

Juggernauts are supposed to deal lots of damage and be tanky, at the cost of having poor target selection and being easy to kite.

So therefore it makes sense that they deal a lot of damage throughout the course of the game.

... probably because low elo doesn't know how to stay out of range/ get away from her ult. She also does constant poke with w/e (the pulling thingy) which some champs do not. She also has tons of AOE, which in the end gives more dmg overall.

... ye why not?... most of the time she can't get her dmg off anyways.

Illaoi was never picked in LCS, because she can't go near the enemy backline and her dmg is not that high with just BC to kill the enemy tanks/fighters.

Er... because she can only do her damage if you literally all leap headfirst into her and LET her?

Illaoi is pretty crap design, to be fair. Her kit is almost ENTIRELY "punish people for trying to all-in". This makes her REALLY awkward to balance. There are only three things to happen when you're vs Illaoi. Either your team can avoid going all-in on her and she's pretty useless... or your team is melee-heavy and needs to go in to accomplish anything, in which case she's basically just a stat check. Either she has the items/raw numbers to win with ease, or she doesn't and she STILL didn't matter.

Interesting champ... poor gameplay.

I actually agree. They shouldn't have buffed her tentacles' damage in the way they did. It just shoves her whole power up a notch regardless of all other circumstances. They should have increased the base damage and nerfed the AD ratio to compensate. That way when Illaoi falls behind she's still relevant, but a fed Illaoi stacking AD won't go out of control.
The W change was awesome. The E nerf prior to this was horrendous. I know her new E at least helps her set up tentacles before a fight, but they gutted a whole aspect of her strength (I know it was unhealthy but they needn't have gutted it) and buffed another unhealthy strength of hers in compensation.
