Illaoi is way too OP at the moment.
Agree or disagree?

Not
She beats only those that have no clue how to lane vs her and or those that afk in lane.
She has ONE point and click.
Everything else can be dodged without needing boots.
If you have a Dash then GG
Having counterplay is not the same thing as being balanced
There's a lot of counter play available to her, mainly revolving around dodging her abilities and her R you can literally just walk away from...
her counterplay is extremely telegraphed. Those big tentacles that smack you in the face? yeah don't fight near those. Kill them when you can.
Call me biased or whatever, but it gets really annoying when bad players continuously complain about my mains (Illaoi and Darius) because they do not understand how juggernauts actually work.
Juggernauts are pretty much countered by mobility and range until they can get Phage built--Illaoi is one exception I am aware of as her E and Q have pretty long reach and her W is a gap-closer itself. However, since most of Illaoi's damage and sustain is tied to her stationary tentacles, making her move away from them weakens her considerably. Even if she lands an E and starts chunking you down through it, you can still not engage and simply take a portion of the damage and maybe a slow and two dodgeable tentacles if she manages to break it.
Or, if you prefer a troll response, just run Tahm Kench into her; if she E's him, he should be able to W the spirit, get a big enough speed boost to dodge the ult even if the ult still counts the spirit as a separate champion if devoured, then spit the spirit out in a safe location. Not sure if this works; basing it off of my experiments with Darius's passive on a spirit and displacement effects used on the spirit by Illaoi's allies.
This, so much this. Just like all the complains about Morde, people just don't adapt vs Juggernauts.
To be honest, I actually tried picking up Morde before the rework as a Magic damage counter part to my mains, but haven't touched his rework yet. Kinda glad I waited since he had some pretty abusable bugs upon release, but now he seems in a fixed state, so I might try again.
Disagree. You listed absolutely no facts in your post. Nothing is backed up by a single shred of evidence. So, until you do, for purposes of this post, she exists in a state of limbo, of not being OP, UP, or balanced.
What specifically do you struggle with against her? Maybe I can help you understand how to fight her better.

I dont. My teammates do. For some reason Illaoi is never on my team but always on the other team and my toplaner always ruins the game by feeding her to death. When I see the enemy lock in Illaoi at champ select I know my LP is gone.
Wtf about them downvotes by the way..
