Illaoi really needs nerfed. I've been against several before. Even if they are bad at Illaoi they still 1 shot you.

Earlier today I was playing Rumble vs Illaoi top lane, and I was 4/1 and 2 levels higher than the 1/3 illaoi. She just hit me with an e, then only hit the spirit with r and w, and my health dropped from full to 20%. This is totally unfair because if someone loses a lane, they shouldn't suddenly be able to 1v5 the entire enemy team.

NERF ILLAOI PLEASE RIOT!! OR GET RID OF HER STUPID E OR TENTACLES!!

You have no right to complain, if you play this Champ.

If they are bad and one shot you, then well its probably your fault. Do not fight around her tentacles and dont fight her when she ults(if she hits you with ult of course) And CC-ing her will basically make her useless and she wont be able to deal massive damage with tentacles and also wont be able to heal for an insane amount.

I apologize for prying as I'm actually interested in how Rumble, a champion with mobility and damage mitigation with W and the ability to make use of both Morellonomicon and Liandry's Torment--two great items against Illaoi--had trouble with Illaoi mid to late game.

According to the build paths of your recent match you rushed Liandry's while Illaoi was rushing Death's Dance. This was a bad decision; while Liandry's works well with Rumble's kit, it is absolutely terrible against Death's Dance as the DoT applied gets filtered through the bleed passive, and the natural sustain provided from Illaoi and DD means all that DoT is easy to heal back, especially since the Illaoi had no HP items yet except for Doran's Ring (which I can kinda get, but what). Morellonomicon would have been better to rush, not just for her but Sona and Caitlyn (lifesteal) as well once the laning phase ended.

Also you started out giving Illaoi first blood; this does not mean the lane is lost outright as you did get four kills on her after that, but it is a considerable gold advantage especially since Illaoi can stay in lane if she is healthy enough after the trade. By the end of the game the player had 177 cs to your 119 cs.

Overall, the problem I have with Illaoi is that so much of her damage, sustain, and even income early game via Kleptomancy (which is a lot, I am not denying that at all) is tied to landing her E.

No counterplay against a champion whose E is blockable by minions, close to 0 CC & an ult that you can just casually walk outside of.

Right.
