How the hell am I supposed to deal with Illaoi???

seen her twice in my past ~5 games and there was literally nothing I could do (I was the jungler). First game she got ahead and hit 6 before I could really do anything. Easy double kills and triple kills every time we tried to gank her. Second time, I got on her as soon as possible, killed her at lvl 4 and then went back right as she hit 6 (my fiora was 7) and easy double kill. The snowball proceeded from there. And of course, every time we tried to have a teamfight, she would just ult and use her tentacles to heal through our damage. How the fuck do you deal with this? There is no way that I can counter her.

btw I'm low gold right now, so it's not like I can expect higher level counterplay strats.

You don't, you cc her with two people and she dies

Practice. That's how.

Don't get frustrated, just pay attention to what you did and what she did and learn from every experience. You'll figure it out in time.

Right now my experience tells me to just stay on the opposite side of the map from where she is...anything else gets me killed.

she is easy to deal with dodge a lot and wait. Then attack, don't let the ult catch you.

It's a skill-less ability. You can't really outplay the ult. Perhaps you can flash out, but relying on flash to defeat an enemy champion just means that champ is broken.

That only tells you how to survive, not how to win. Trial and error does often require a lot of error, so don't feel bad if things go poorly. Error is just part of the process.

What if I told you that not every laner is easy to gank successfully
