Illaoi and aatrox have the same problem.

They bring absolutely nothing to a team that their peers don't. They're both trying to be jack of all trades, but it doesn't work. A champion that brings nothing but damage to a team needs to reliably bring that damage to a fight regardless, and neither of them achieve that. Aatrox is outclassed completely by similar light divers. Master Yi is a split push beast, tryndamere is also a split pushing monster, plus his W brings great utility, xin is basically aatrox but better, fiora has awesome teamfights. Aatrox just dives and dies. He builds tanky and does fuckall or he builds damage and dies before he can do anything.

Illaoi has the same exact problem, sure she has the damage, but she brings nothing interesting to a team that other more reliable juggernauts don't. Garen becomes one of the tankiest champions in the game, with free built in armor shred, a silence, and a very useful execute. Darius is a nightmare of a juggernaut that is pretty much always useful unless he's miserably behind. Yorick is one of the most terrifying split pushers in league. Illaoi has damage, and that's basically it. And even though she has damage, she doesn't scale well at all. There is no reason to pick her over any other juggernaut.

I mean if Illaoi stands in front of her team and ults the enemy team I'm pretty sure she's bringing a lot to a team fight, she's blowing them up or at the very least making them scatter.

None of this is even remotely true though.

Illaoi has her E, what more needs to be said? If you don't think that's a useful ability no matter how behind she is then I don't know what to tell you to talk some sense into you.

So some of this is true.

The issue is that they both are unstoppable if ahead and total trash of behind by any amount.

That can (if they get off a good ult) get back in the game but it takes a lot of skill.

Also both are shut down HARD if the enemy team has any kind of stuns.

They both have to build damage else they are worthless (unlike a lot of tanks right now that build tank and do STUPID amounts of damage)
