Playing her as and against, ive noticed majority of people I lane against when as, don't go in on her after she misses her e, why?

That's a lot of SELF utility she just missed.

maybe its because I'm only in silver or something

but come on.

It's not like her ulti does half ur health in 2 seconds or the fact that she stil has her q up to heal her massively

Uh, maybe because just her Q and W pre six will make you instalose the trades anyways as a melee.

Her landing E just rips away your health bar for no reason and honestly is still the most frustrating spell in the game, even with the time reduction on the vessel debuff.

It's even funnier when it's before level 6 and she misses her E.

I also love people who cry when she gets ganked and both players follow lvl 6 Illaoi into the bush, don't ward it despite knowing her E is up, then complains that she got a double kill.

I know why they don't. I've give you a hint:

Because some people don't know how to trade with her after Q. Seriously, the heal and damage is nothing to scoff at, making people panic rather than commit when she has everything on cd.

Hum someone explain why is it better to fight her when she missed e ? Is it cuz her ulti will spawn one less tentacle ?

You will take less damage as she cannot hit both the vessel and you with q/w

she loses her sustain if you can avoid both it and her q, I'm not saying you have to avoid every one, but remember they're slow and easily sidestepped if you just watch for the indicator. of course sometimes damage is unavoidable if you want farm etc ( but you have to give it up sometimes to deny illaoi her strengths.) and yes, one less tentacle.

but one less tentacle does make an enormous difference when actually fighting her. as that's denying

Think of it denying half her ultimates strength when you fight her in lane one extra instead of 2-3 depending on many variables,

Sorry if this is hard to follow.

Those are all fair points.

I would like them to fix Illaoi's Q hitbox at least. There's definitely issues there.

I think a lot of frustration from fighting her at least from my own point of gameplay is that I really feel like I'm dodging it, and visually I'm out of its hitbox indicator and I still get hit which chunks really hard...

Yes I am :) Thx for the detailed clarification . You earned my upvote ;)

If you are playing a low mobility champ, getting stuck in that ultimate is just about instant death.

Probably because she can just use her ult and win anyway

Well, considering the amount of "Nerf Garen" posts we have been getting recently....

Because most champs still can't out trade the 4 sec cd W near tentacles even if she missed E?
