I do think her mana costs are a bit on the low side overall.

Eh, she has a little bit TOO much damage for not enough punishment. Yeah she's very slow and so the idea is she's easy to dodge but the hits count. But the hits aren't that hard to make and her Q can do over 500 damage with black cleaver alone at level 9. It's a bit much

At level 9, Illaoi has 94 base AD. Full AD reds and quints would add 15 more, a Doran's Blade 8, and Black Cleaver 55. That would be 172 AD, 160% of that being 275, plus 90 from the 10 base damage per level her tentacles have. Meaning her Q would deal ~365 damage before enemy armor.

Certain other effects may cause you to deal enough damage to approach 500, but just a Q alone won't do that much.

I was guesstimating, I've only played her once so far. I think I had a dorans blade and long sword too boot also, but yeah I had 5 kills before I hit level 9 even, and I wasn't just being handed kills by bad players. They were decent and it just bent them over and summoner 11 their bootyholes

The only issue I have with her is she is too tanky even when building damage. I went against her top recently and while she couldn't kill me due to me being passive, when I did all in her she would survive with ease. (Mind you I was playing GP btw, and he is considered another very strong champ as well)

Her damage is high but its all fairly easy to either dodge or downright beat her up. Her Soul grab was literally an invitation to jump on her and usually forces her to ult or run away. Once her ult is gone you will win any trade with her.

But yeah, I would either reduce her damage or reduce her tankiness, There really is no reason she can build pure damage but tank better than a bruiser. Only time she died was when it was 3v1 and she got caught out alone.
