Tips from an Illaoi main.

Kinda irritated at seeing posts about Illaoi being OP.

Here's a quick lesson on how to pressure an Illaoi.

1. Don't always stand directly behind your minions, Most Illaoi will farm and poke you at the same time in this manor.

2. Bait out the E, make yourself "open" to be tested and dodge it, if you do this she loses at least 45% of her damage.

3. I hear a lot of whining about her "mini game" if you are hit by an E, back away . That's free gold. Move left or right and kill the tentacle.

4. If she misses her E, that's your opening. Take it and go all in. Even if she ults it adds 1 tentacle instead of 2.

5. Teamfights starting? Illaoi ulted? Ask yourself this, Do you fight in Nunus ult? Would you stand in Viktors? Just walk away.

Illaoi is very vulnerable to well timed CC, I've actually had my ult canceled to a well placed stun. Also, Illaoi's E is blocked by literally anything, Minions, abilities, hell even baiting her to E and dropping a zzrot infront of you can snowball your lane in your favor.

Counterplay is everywhere guys, Think outside the box.
