Illaoi Test of Spirit- More Power, Less Frustration

Currently, Illaoi has a problem to where she is both STUPIDLY FRUSTRATING to play against, yet in practiced and coordinated play is not very good at all due to her being extremely weak without tentacles around and bringing little to a team besides damage. I think I have a way to reduce her frustration while still increasing her power.

One major thing that causes frustration is her E, correct? Namely, the vessel curse part. 60 seconds of tedious tentacle killing. However, she is weak in practiced play/competitive correct? (Whatever you want to call it) Well, here is something I would do.

Cool Down: 20/18/16/14/12 seconds -> 26/24.5/23/21.5/20 seconds Duration of Curse: 60 seconds -> 16 seconds Time Between Tentacles: 10 seconds -> 4 seconds Cool Down Between Tentacles Attacks on a Vessel Reduced by 50% Tentacles Need to Kill: 3 -> 2 Vessels now deal 66% damage to tentacles (now requires 3 hits to kill tentacles from 2)

Pros (Buffs) of change:

  • Harder to dodge overall due to more frequent tentacles and the "attack speed" of tentacles on cursed targets being doubled
  • Gives Illaoi a way to get some tentacles out quickly Cons (Nerfs?) of change:
  • Higher cool down
  • Decreased duration means the cursed target can a.) no longer be potentially permacursed without CDR and b.) is zoned away from farming less

This makes Illaoi have more consistent damage with her vessel target while reducing the frustrating feeling of being zoned from your minions for 30-60 seconds to 8-16 seconds. Thoughts and feelings on this?

(Also remove the global recall quotes wtf?)

Would make Illaoi trash. She would be even more reliant on the opposite laner to be bad. Any one who build attack speed won't care and Illaoi will be zoned off her minions because her debuff is the only thing that kept people far enough away from her to matter. Straight p she can't fight you after a little poke and if your not a vessel well then so much of her damage disappears. As it stands dodging her telegraphed attacks is easy and I love playing her btu she needs something to make her not as bad as she is and I think this is not it.

Her only positive is her debuff because it takes pressure off of the rest of your team because you can't feed if the other top laner is just not around.
