the most fraustrating thing in this game so far. i can honestly say it makes the game unfun to play. I just had someone that doesn't even know whaat her abilities do go 12/0. with just a black cleaver. shes just a horrible lane bully.
Niyumi3 votesI'll just leave this here for you...
MunchCrunchLunch1 voteslooks more complicated than going 1v5
Niyumi2 votesIt's not complicated at all, really. You can counter every single thing in Illaoi's kit by, quite simply, moving. Hard to pull off, I know. Those right mouse buttons are hard to use. :3
DarkeGhost1 votesI know right it's like they don't like being pressed xD
Shonjl3 votesPersonally the only thing she needs lowered is that damn Vessel debuff. That thing last for 30seconds to almost a minute which is utter crap. That should be toned down to 10 seconds max and it would be fine. As it is, she can do her soul grab move, and you can easily run but now have to lose cs and play dodge the tentacle for a while.
After that, it would be fine, I like her kit(only played against her, never buy new champs) but that one mechanic is broken as hell.
PlatypusSurprise2 votesTry going Malphite into her, she only does Physical damage. just build armor and level you're e first so you can clear minions then clear her tentacles as they spawn and then go deal with minions. You can basically kill all her minions and by killing a tentacle you get 5 bonus gold and can out spend her.

Those still got nerfed because their base stats were too strong, and once again Riot released a champion with too high numbers.

was released at low numbers, til all of yall complained for him needing buffs.
Sasogwa1 votesBut we're talking about the ones you quoted and that were complained about. Bard wasn't complained about (for his strength at least)
Little Stick Man1 votes
bard still needs buffs his retarded utility needs more broken levels of damage
MunchCrunchLunch1 votesI didn't even play the game back then.i started playing a month ago. I can say the prob with ekko and kalista is too much mobility. and they are annoying for those reason's. the newer the champions the more mobility they seem to have. and tahm kench is just a pure tank that can play top, support, jg. effectively he has high defenses. 2 passives. and a lot of damage

ekko and kali both were gutted. tahm kench is getting his sooner or later.
l Helios l2 votesPlay lulu or quinn into her. Then just laugh because she can't even touch you.
Q has an abysmal windup, easy to dodge.
W is basically just an AA with some range. Easy to avoid if you keep yourself out of range. Tentacle attack wind ups take forever as well, easy to dodge.
E. Stay behind minions and juke. Don't be a one of those dumbass guys who walk in a straight line to avoid skill shots. It never works.
R. Never group up, or if you do, have something damning that will cause her to not want to, like an Amumu or a Nunu. Ult can be interrupted too as far as I know, so Azir ult, Vayne condemn, Poppy E, etc.
Other notes: she's super slow and has no gap closers.
Deny her team a sivir to remove gap closing.
Clear tentacles before she gets like 5 or 6 set up. Keeping the tentacles down removes a chunk of W's damage.
Play ranged champs like teemo, lulu, quinn, vayne, the donger, etc. Beat a lane bully with a meaner lane bully.
MunchCrunchLunch2 votesso I have to buy lulu just to play against her?
l Helios l2 votesWell you should have every champ at some point :P Get lulu anyway because she's quite strong atm and an excellent top champ in most team comps. I suggested like 4 champs if you don't have her.
MunchCrunchLunch1 votesyeah lol. in like few years
l Helios l2 votesYou wanted tips man. There ya go :P Outside of that, considering I saw you say you started a few months ago, remember you're semi-new to the game. New things being added to it will affect how you process many things. Just keep getting better and you'll be fine man. A lot of top lane revolves around freezing lane, csing well, wave momentum, teleport usage, summ tracking, now herald management, etc. Just work on all these things and it will help your gameplay out tremendously, moreso than trying to deal with 1 champ specifically.
EcchiOtakuTM1 votesFunny cause she's a really bad champ sure she has damage in a clusterf- teamfight but outside of that she's pretty much garbage.
ModWulf Helhammer1 votesThat's kinda the point of her: amazing in teamfights, weaker elsewhere. A champion that is a god in virtually every scenario is what we call "unbalanced"

I would like to suggest http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/16saqRzt-riot-illaoi
It would make her more consistent thus allowing riot to tone down her damage and she wouldn't be at a 42% win rate anymore
Cobaltfist1 votesShe is literally the most antifun champ since teemo. The punishment on her soul rip late game is ridiculous, if someone on your team gets grabbed they get chunked for 70% of their health and spawn tentacles everywhere for the next 60 seconds. People used to say "just dodge lee sin's Q" but this champ is just as frustrating
Jörts1 votesIllaoi isnt that hard to play against, just avoid her tentecles
