@Meddler, The Illaoi E "Buffs" dropped her winrate by 5% and made her feel worse. My suggestion.

Rework her E completely. Here is my suggestion.

E - Test of Spirit | 70 Mana | 24/21/18/15/12 Second CD

Illaoi summons a tentacle from her idol that reaches out in a target direction, stopping on the first enemy unit hit. If the tentacle hits an enemy champion, it links their spirit to Illaoi for up to 10 seconds, pulling them to Illaoi slowly.

Enemy champions are slowed by 1-99% while running away from Illaoi, depending on how far they are from her, and may move around freely while being pulled. If they break the link with Illaoi before the duration ends by walking far enough away, they are stunned for 1.5 seconds.

Notes

It would work like a bungee cord. The farther enemy champions are away, the harder it is for them to move until it finally breaks the tentacle linking them together. If they stop moving while far away from her, it almost instantly pulls them to her. This also fits her theme better (she is never seen pulling spirits and attacking them in any of her teasers, and she does this exact thing to the captain in her minigame). I feel like this would make her a balanced and healthy champion and be good in the current meta.

Riot: "We heard people are crying about not being able to dodge a skillshot, so we reduced the duration of the effect by 80 seconds, made tentacles spawn faster, but conveniently ignored how slow the tentacles swing, which make it still easy as hell to just side-step the tentacles even with the slow."

That would go against illaoi's design of wanting her to keep everyone in motion meaning CC-less. So I have to say no.

What they need to do is just make illaoi's Q interrupt enemies and during ulti her Q disarms and silences for 0.5 seconds.

They do that and increase the amount of tentacles from E slightly, she'll become viable. Instead of a "just for fun" champ.

Yeah but what reason would they have for running away with this change? It looks like you removed the damage to spirit completely so all of the tentacle spawning is gone too. What about this version makes me want to run away outside of running from a fight I was already losing?

The fact that she's still Illaoi and still does a fuckton of damage if you're close to her.

Damn if only the leash range wasnt huge enough that you could easily stay away from here while still not breaking it. also a fuckton if you dont right click which anyone can do. Okay maybe not bronze and low silver but most of us would right click

It's bullshit how every time someones having a hard time against a champion they need a nerf how does riot not see that? seriously I've seen decent Illaoi players (in her previous state) get beaten severely just because their opponent didn't complain and whine they outplayed them simple as that people shes gutted now cmon riot why ruin a fun champion imo she wasn't even that hard to play against i never lost to an Illaoi
