Illaoi ruining my experience

DanglingLips··5 votes·566 views

I've been playing this game for going on 5 years and I've never seen a champion like this before. She is way too much to lane against. All the players I've seen on her weren't good with her and had bad records, and even with people still learning her/sucking with her she was a force, almost knocking people down that were 4/1/2 when she was 1/5/0. The health scale she has, the damage she does, the skills she has. It's too much. I'm contemplating just retiring with champions like this being unleashed on the game.

I feel like a very sloppy player can get on this champ and keep a very skilled player on their toes.

I'm annoyed by her Q, seems a lot of the times I'm out of the hit box standing next to it and I still take damage.

She gets hard countered by sion though since shes slow and clunky, You will be able to hit your Q every time, and your Q does 10% max health along with shield you from one tentacle hit.

Illaoi doesn't need to spawn tentacles on enemy turrets and have them immune to turret fire. That is just ridiculous. Minions, enemy champs, champ spawns (i.e. Malz' little voidling), and zz portal (as well as anything else before this) are not immune to turret fire. More time is spent dodging and removing the tentacles than fighting the champ (when she is ADC/support).

Happens every time a new champ is released. I expect a sufficient nerf next patch.

She needs a rework not a nerf, those who are use to her now in higher elo dropped her to a 42% win rate. I hope riot does

would allow them to tone down her damage immensely, tentacle width reduction, allow them to add utility, while keeping her theme and lore intact.

plat+ players with 5-15 games under their belt (the highest number of games played with actual data points) have an 87% winrate on her.

5-15 games so around when no one knows much about her for strengths and weaknesses then onward it drops down to 42%.

There are zero games with people who have more than 15 games played, so it defaults to the average. Understand what zero data points look like.
