A tiny buff for Illaoi

Secretlolz··2 votes·590 views

I was a bit glad they wrote in the patch notes that they think Illaoi is hard, because honestly, It's the hardest time I've had to master a melee champion. I was almost a bit ashamed about it. She feels so hard, so punishing to make mistakes, when most melee can just steamroll over anything as long people let them. It feels nice, and bad, at the same time.

The small QoL buff I would like to ask for Illaoi is about her R cast time. While she is casting R, she can be interrupted by displacements. This cancels her R but still consumes the cooldown. The same happens with W.

I'm not sure if It is intended or not. I could see it for W but for R.. It feels so, so, so devastating. You lose your ultimate, usually to something you did not see coming and something your oponent neither did. Yet it has so much impact, you lost your teamfighting skill in a blink.

Can she become inmune to displacements while R is being casted, or atleast, make it go out anyway, regardless that she was displaced while casting it?

She really didn't need a tiny buff, actually a huge nerf would've been more appropriate.

Illaoi just does way too much burst, has way too much lifesteal, and insane range for a melee champ. I get she's complicated to understand for illaoi players, but complicated doesn't hide broken.

We all know how much people love darius's lifesteal.. lets make him 2.0 with tentacles.

Riot heard us in this one! Take that, Illaoi haters!

Illaoi For those who aren't in the know, there's a nasty bug where being knocked up or knocked back during Illaoi's Leap of Faith will cause her tentacles to spawn away from her... or sometimes not at all. Fixed! R - Leap of Faith THIS IS MOTIONIllaoi is now immune to being displaced while in her cast animation
