Illaoi buffs/nerfs

so i want to talk with you about my toplane main champ illaoi and maybe encourage new player picking her up with a few tipps. and a discussion about her changes.

so what is the generel opinion ? lower elo players are all like shes strong maybe even op and in high elo you getting things like shes trash worst champ and if anybody ask when to pick illaoi they say just dont pick illaoi so why is that ?

1.shes slow 2. high dmg but seriously no chance to keep enemys in her stuff 3. skillshots and general easy avoidable abilitys

so why should you pick her up ?

1. shes maybe clunky but incredible fun
2. her e is annoying and can mindfuck alot of people
3. Tentacles
4. her massive zone controll

skillorder: R -obvious Q-more dmg and an higher AD Ratio for all Tentacles E-significent lower CD more dmg get transferred from the clone to the original W-Even with max cd reduction you wont reach the reduced cd from your ult so why even bother maxing it ?

build path:

start with: rush: : here comes a rlly rare start but let me explain, it gives you mana and you will spam alot the cd is nice to get more abilitys out especially for your e ( a bit later more infos ) also the sheen proc gives your w an dmg boost or : fighting ad ? finish iceborn. vs ap just finish hexdrinker after sheen still trouble vs ap finish maw otherwise finish the other item this 2 items are core imo: : the slow field is the A&0 it makes your slow tentacles able to hit enemys : while hexdrinker isnt the overwhelming OP item the passive of Maw is so good for your healing while in ult especially when your ult runs out and you have your high cd on your w the passive lifesteal helps you to be healthy when you can just auto. : cd armor pen health everything you need.

situational items: if the enemy lacks ap its better then maw

core item vs nasus and tryndamere otherwise the heal of maw is better

if you need to catch enemys

good vs enemys that come close like rammus Riven

the passive is awesome should be in every illaoi build (iceborn and BC get you to the CD cap) so the cd would be wasted on that item but still awesome.

here you see how you should place your first 3 tentacles for defensiv purpose the triangle formation provides min 2 tentacles hitting your enemy on every side and 3 in the middle providing you with the max healing and dmg.

and now we must talk about her e

Test of Spirit (E) :
   
    Vessel now [lasts 12 seconds and spawns a tentacle every 5 seconds (scales down with level 5/4/3)] from [lasting one minute and spawning  

    tentacles every 10 sec
    Killing tentacles no longer clears Vessel debuff.
    Tentacles can spawn closer to each other if spawning from Vessel. 
    Tentacles no longer appear in Fog of War. 
    Tentacles no longer prevented from spawning if the vessel is recalling. 

so is that a nerf or buff ? i think its a buff and alot of people would disagree with me 50 sec less duration sounds pretty bad but you didnt get the meaning of your spell. so whats the meaning of it ? first you think get enemys low then get them killed with your e. and thats partly right what you want is enlightenment you want to spread you hentai religion as much as possible. and now you must think but shes doing that already shes yelling at me for 1 min while purple tentacle d... keep spawning and hitting me or atleast try. and now think a second time when you get hit by her e you either get rid of it fast or you back ,and on your way the tentacles spawn but they are out of illaois reach.So they go passiv and disapear after 1 min. if you get hit by it on lane now they spawn faster and closer to each other and give illaoi an higher adventage on lane bec you have more tentacles then you usually could . so duelling her will be alot more dangerous.

after all this illaoi text, is it a buff? Yes and a pretty good one for the closer spawn alone

will she be more viable? for pro play NO hell NO but shes getting more dangerous for Dynamic and i think that you should try her and give her a chance
