I think shes unfun and busted right now so much life steal and dmg from a champ that goes full tank shes sleeper op right now and scary af im just wondering if anyone else feels like shes annoying and busted and if people think shes ok the way she is
BLACK REALM GOD7 voteswhy is there no "i think she's fine the way she is"?
CannabisOverlord1 votesSeriously, talk about a one sided poll xD
Chimpanturticorn3 votes"She's on the strong side" doesn't necessarily imply or advocate for a nerf. Hecarim was "on the strong side" for quite a bit, and he still is, but that hasn't warranted a direct nerf.
BLACK REALM GOD2 votesbut that doesnt directly correlate to my opinion on the matter. she's all physical damage and all of her abilities require her to camp near a wall. i dont think she needs anything at this point in time.
Hotaru is Waifu1 voteswith her ultimate she doesnt need a wall and with most spaces in the game lanes the only places not so strong is in front of the baron or drag pit shes prettty strong everywhere
BLACK REALM GOD2 votesyou usually dont use an ultimate to make an argument about a champion. otherwise i'd say that taric is overpowered.
unless you were letting me know because you thought i didnt know about that feature - in which case thanks for being helpful.
Chimpanturticorn1 votesHe wasn't using Illaoi ult to make his entire argument about Illaoi, he was using Illaoi ult to prove your statement that all her abilities require her to be near a wall wrong.
Anyway, saying that you don't usually use ult to make arguments about a champion is a very naive and ignorant statement. Illaoi, Taric, Malzahar, Soraka, Karthus, and many other champions are pretty much defined by their ult. This being said, the argument can be made that isn't every champion technically op because every champion (except udyr) has an ult? That's not true either, because if you look at champions like blitzcrank, hecarim, corki, and some others, you think hook, charge, and package, rather than static field, onslaught of shadows, and whatever corki's missiles are called.
BLACK REALM GOD1 votesthat just goes to show how much you dont know about the champs you dont play.
karthus's R isnt his powerhouse and anyone mad about his R is making that argument solely because they died to a karthus's R. most of his damage comes from his Q and his kit is defined by his passive. If you die to a karthus R with
in the game... you should honestly quit for a day and take a break to explore other alternatives for enjoyment.
sorakas R is a heal to all of her allies that can swing the tides in her team's favor. that being said sorakas kit is terrible because she's a support. all supports have terrible kits and their R is USUALLY their biggest asset and sometimes their ONLY asset.
taric is a support his ultimate grants invulnerability without using stasis for roughly 3 seconds. so yes if you're going to use his ultimate as an argument about his kit all supports are overpowered. lulu especially.
malzahar's R is negated by several items. not just QSS. in fact if it werent for his minions malzahar would be terrible
illaoi's R summons 1 tentacle per enemy champion hit for a max of 6 tentacles. Her R requires her to be standing beside the opponent. im pretty sure if you're going to make an argument about illaoi you'd be better off talking about her vessel mode or her health regen since she's a tank (dont correct me with juggernaut or berserker or any of the other development team nicknames because i use the in-game 6 categories to define my champs i.e. tank, assassin, mage, fighter, support, marksman) without mobility abilities.
if a game lasts 30 minutes and an ultimate can be used every 60 seconds and you reach rank 6 at 10 minutes in (i dont know when most players reach rank 6 im guessing) then 20 minutes means that you can use your ultimate 20 times in one game. most champion do not have 60 second cooldowns for their ultimates. some do not even have ultimates (elise, nidalee, etc.) so if a character strengths are defined by solely their ultimate it means that they're poorly designed and will never be able to compete. if you have to talk about a champions ultimate then you're basing your argument on shaky ground to begin with. in the rare case that a champion has to rely 99.9% on their ultimate then they're not a truly viable champion or they're broken and should soon be patched.
besides all of that i said USUALLY so even if you and everyone else disagree with my reasoning the fact that i said usually and then you go on to point out specific situations where one might use ultimates and one might not use ultimates to make an argument about a champion just further emphasized my point that you dont always use ultimates which is why i wasnt using the ultimate for the basis of my argument.
AFilthyCaitMain3 votesShes balanced. She falls off late game bc only her ult is useful. Literally the solution to all her abilities is just to walk away. Walk away from her when her W is activated, walk away from her E if you get hit(also blocked by minions). walk away from her zone if she lands her ult. Thats how you counter her ez. also get rid of her tentacles to get rid of possible damage.
Taliyah Rocks2 votesI'm no Illaoi main but i've played her enough to reach mastery 6 (might have been 7 if i had the freaking DUST for it) but she's only OP when people don't respect her ''zone'' and damage.
Of course she gets easy double/triple kills when people walk up to her and she lands a good ult and people stay in it.
Learn to respect her area of threat and it should be fine. She can't force a play by herself, she's strong when she can take advantage of an enemy mistake. If she doesn't get fed from enemy walking up to her face, she's quite easy to deal with.
Also supports that can peel Illaoi off the squishies will make her life a nightmare (f*ck you Thresh)
Revali2 votesIllaoi has nothing but damage
if you want to play characters that can easily play around her, try ones like 
these characters can give illaoi a hard time easily depending on how you play,
if you want a comparison, sort of think like how lcs or whatever region ran singed when maokai was picked, if you pick a pure tank your objective isn't to kill her and win, it's to _survive _ and not let her get way to out of hand. it gets boring, you want to make that play, but if shes in her tentacles, Do not under any circumstances fight her there. you will lose, everytime. Without tentacles, illaoi is pretty much a much, much shittier rift herald that can only do percentage damage every now and then with w. Freeze lane outside of her tentacles and she'll either be forced to give up farm or just wait. if she can come up to farm, stay on the edge of your minion wave, she q's to hit you through it, move out, she attempts to E you, move into your wave
Her teamfight presence is immense, but the main thing you have to remember is. Don't waste your cc on her While she's in the air of her ultimate, you cant cancel it nor cant you displace her. but its the same as any other aoe ultimate ability, Spread out. she cant inflict to much damage if she cant get multislaps on you.
MissingKayo2 votesIn the words of Sun Tzu, "git gud and stop qq."
Illâoi Evê Siôn1 votesI'll admit that she's unfun to play against to a certain degree, but I actually think the current meta is hurting her more than helping her. If everyone can deal as much damage as they currently can, there's no reason to pick her over a Diver or Assassin. The only time when she's more powerful is possibly in lane with her E or if she manages a miracle ult. I think the extra mobility of said alternatives outclass those two situations and the little more in-fight sustain that she has. That isn't to say that she isn't viable. She's extremely powerful. The meta just doesn't favor her.
Admittedly, I haven't played much Illaoi lately, but I know she wasn't able to abuse Lethality like other AD-casters. Lethality Illaoi does exist, but it's not much better than Juggernaut Illaoi.
zlumpy1 votesIf she really bugs you ask your support to play taric/try out top lane taric. His ult usually negates her ult long enough to bring her down in a team fight.
AFilthyCaitMain1 votesAny stuns will completely shut down her ult, As it only lasts a short time. Not a root, but a complete stun, or even a silence.
zlumpy1 votesI meant more for his ult. You can just ult and sit in it and mess her up.
