A few problems with Illaoi that potentially need addressing.

Bluepugs··4 votes·1,185 views

With 6.3, Illaoi was given a nice but subtle QoL buff, while also nerfing her late-game pressure by allowing multiple people to cleanse their broken spirit debuff.

There's another few issues concerning her E ability, now made all the more prominent with the release 6.3.

Duskblade will activate when the player hits the spirit with an auto attack. This could be intended, but I honestly feel it shouldn't be a thing, Illaoi already struggles and she doesn't need small little problems like this affecting her late game. It's going to turn into assasins or whoever else has built a duskblade from actually hitting her spirits lest they waste the active.

Additionally, this also procs Thunderlords. The spirit is obviously considered a "Champion" of a sort. I don't suggest changing the mechanics to behave like a creep, lest we have problems with tahm and syndra.

But I feel something should be done.

She needs buffs, period. Small little problems like this are only gonna be an issue for her in the future.

Either way, you shouldn't be taking Thunderlord's or Duskblade on Illaoi

i challenge your assertion that thunderlords shouldnt be used on her. Grasp of the undying while it may seem decent, in actual play is terrible. 3% of your pool even at 5k HP ( which never happens on illaoi ) is still only 150 hp. If you managed to hit someone every time GOTU came off its 4 second CD, you are looking at about 35 hp5 which is completely abismal. The defenssive tree doesnt cater enough to her kit to invest in it, you get far more power with her out of the center mastery tree, and even there thunderlords is the only viable option. The healing keystone just like GOTU is basically laughable on her. She needs the burst

Illaoi on release- "Holy shit she's so broken." After 2 weeks- "oh wait, she fucking sucks."

Gotta love the league community.

Rito usually lets stuff like this slide for 5 months then then announce it's acknowledgement followed by a fix 2 months later.

I really hope that's not the case with this stuff. :( Even some confirmation if it's intended or not would be nice!

there is still a bug when you gank her and she has a doran shield and she get a penta

That's because you stood in her ult. If you stand in a Kat ult and don't CC her, she'll do a lot of damage to.

when there is 6 tentacles cause she had two, pulled a soul and ulted both you and your vessel, the jungle and mid, and press WQW you dont have that much time to get out of her ult, which cover 3/4 of the lane and the dps is commin in fast, wayyy too fast

You let the very immobile champion walk into the middle of your team, take the time to E, and ult, without doing anything?

if you read the thing i said when you gank her, therefore you are jumping her out of postion but SHE win the fight cause shes stupid

there's a way to gank her, and when you 5 man gank her, if you aren't bad, you should be able to kill her.

yeah well cant always be five man on her ass XD

She's stupid, and yet you're the one ganking her without considering who she is. Illaoi is very weak to ranged poke, so do that instead if you can.

ok dude i get your point, but look, shes 1v1 against my top laner, hes getting bullied, (its her job normal thing) so ill gank, but i cant cause she will 1v2, and i wont ask for mid cause she will 1v3 easy, i need to ask my whole team to stop what they are doing only to help my top, so either top lose or other two lose, cause cant shut her down pre six, she doesnt need items to be stupid
