Game not fun anymore.

Honestly I was thinking after a game today. That this game just isn't fun anymore and I was trying to figure out why. And I figured it out... two champions. Tahm Kench and Illoai. What was the thought process of oh let me just attack this clone I make and have it do huge amounts of damage then have the enemy run around screaming with their heads cut off trying to fight something that is worth 5 gold? Really? Oh and not to mention. Lets give this champ an ability to just eat a friendly champ and run away really fast to piss off the enemy team and save my friendly champ from any danger. Because its hard to outplay just eating some one. Thanks Riot. I have spent many years on this game and just don't understand you guys anymore. You focus too much on the pros and don't ever look down on what you do at the lower levels. Love you Riot will always be remembered. R.I.P. Well in all honesty it isn't just those two champs but those are just my examples :D Have fun on this Rift everyone!

Tahm I can understand but Illaoi...not so much. As long as you know what you are doing, she isn't that good.

She even has a 45% win rate right now, and had <50% before midseason...

No where did I say that she won a lot did I? I am stating something that makes the game not fun anymore. Stats are irrelevant to me in this situation. Tahm kench is in the same boat. But is the win rate so low because low level players are so done with playing against the champ that they try to play the champ and fail to win because they flame their team? Riot does say people who harass their team win less games. So if those champs are played out of anger sure they would have a lower win rate. But again that is not the point.

Personal taste is different from actual statistics. But in reality, Illaoi is probably one of those champs that you hate because "it's unfair" when in reality it's always your/mine fault when we don't dodge her or stick around in her ultimate. Her champ depends on the opponent either have no mobility or being very unskilled when facing Illaoi.

So yea, I can see why you hate her. But quitting a game because you don't like X champion, that's sad...

My only problem is the fact that once this skill lands for some reason there is no player involvement from that point on. That champ can either kill the thing standing still or the player can run. In running you get attacked from something that has no player involvement allowing that player to just go back to killing creeps. There are certain things that are dumb but can be outplayed because there is player involvement. This skill has none.

Except you know, dodging the initial skill, or fighting her because she landed her skillshot. It isn't like she instantly the ability to spawn tentacles around you, she has to first land the slow predictable skillshot that doesn't goes through creeps, then wale on it enough to actually kill it and as long as you fight her, generally she isn't going to have the DPS to fight you AND kill the clone. The counterplay is knowing you can avoid if you know what you are doing, the reward for not however is high.

So you are telling me you can dodge 100% of the skillshots at you? If so you must be a pro. Which again I go back to Riot focusing on top level play. Making it no fun for people who are not as skilled.

100%, god no, but with a skillshot like that, I can dodge it about 90% of the time, and why should the game because dumbed down even more because you refuse to get better? Quit acting entitled.

That 10% is what I am focusing on here :D even for you a higher gameplay :D That 10% is what matters. Let me cleanse it or something. There is no counter item. There is no counter spell. Just dodge it. lol

No, that isn't the only counterplay, because once again, even it is does snag you, you have the option to fight her because she once again, doesn't instantly get the tentacles unless you run away. Just because you don't understand how illaoi works, doesn't mean she doesn't have counterplay.
