Riot do you plan to buff Illaoi next patch?

Trash MammaI·Nov 28, 2015·3 votes·771 views

She's pretty terrible right now...

Her Passive is too easy to kill since the tentacles only AA based on your W instead of periodically Her Q is mega slow and easy to dodge Her W's range is crazy short Her E's range is crazy short and doesn't go through units Her R is decent but that's only in teamfights where it's a cluster of things going on

She doesn't seem to be able to compete with any competent player right now she has her moments where people who are too lazy to read the patch notes or look at the information given prior to her release and are in game wondering "WHAT DAT DO WUT DIS DO" that she can shine in but other than that nah she seems way too weak

You're doing it wrong.

Ok time to fix things here ;

(All strategies are made for melee enemy champs cuz %80 of meta toplaners are melee anyways)

-Her q is not for hitting people in lane, its for clearing minion waves If you want to hit q , first use your e on enemy champ and start harrasing it with clone,if your opponent turns back to you and fight , jump on their face with w and then q.If they run away just hit the clone and get free harras.

-If you give her w more range she will just jump on people and destroy them since she has %120-%160 ad ratio on tentacles %10-%40 on q %8 max hp for every 100 ad on e %50 on ulti this means her combo deals massive damage so there has to be a drawback , and it is lack of gap closer.You must use this ability to protect your tentacles since most of the opponents you will face in lane are melee and when they got close to a tentacle to destroy it, you must get close to them and if they dont go back just jump on them to deal huge damage with tentacle.

-Her e is one of the safest way to deal damage in the game and even if you dont get to deal damage with clone and they run it will spawn tentacles and screw with their laning so no , an ability that has so much effect on laning must be hard to pull off (+projectile speed is quite fast so its not that hard to use at all).

-Lets assume that its level 6 and you have a tentacle near your opponent u can pull a combo like e r w q + hit from 2 tentacles this will deal damage around 600-1000 depending on your opponent armor and your ad so its usefull for 1-1 too.

Hope this helps i answered all your points,have a nice day.

You assumed you landed any of them..the point is her abilities are all SUPER easy to avoid

Her E needs to be able to go through targets Her Q needs to be a bit faster Her W needs a bigger range..that thing is low as crap

Her e is still safe when played right, turtling in lane... She is the next
Her q hitbox is weird enough as it is. And is larger than the indicator actually is.
Her w needs to stay small, for what it is

With a ult that LITERALLY can 1v2/3/4/5 if done right.

She just came out, give her a week and see how broken she is

If you cannot land the skillshots whats the point of playing a champ anyways ?

If you say her skills are hard to use cuz enemies can easly dodge it i can suggest you go play some Azir and we can talk about what is hard and what is easy.

Not to forget that her Q is just 50 mana and her E is 35 mana until you start giving points to it so lets assume that you can land 2 out of 5 on Q its good and 1 out of 4 on E is fine anyways cuz one E most of the times takes 1/3 hp from opponent and if not they will have to deal with tentacles.

Illaoi is the fighter copy of Annie when the clock hits 40 min in a game just wait for the right moment, (no matter how bad your laning was) just flash into a group of 4 or 5 enemies, instantly use ulti and win the game thats pretty much it with her huge ad scaling on all skills.

She doesn't need a buff tho what she needs is a rework I would suggest

According to Riot from my understanding shes supposed to be a carry. Problem is there are better carries and they have cc. She has jack none besides the situational E?

she has good AOE i guess but I could play Karthus for that or some other Apers or even Chogath. Or Tryndamere, Nasus, Jax, Darius, Fiorra, Riven and do her job better.

EcchiOtakuTMNov 28, 20151 votes

She's going to be the first champ who's just release and in need of a rework(I don't remember any champ like that yet)

I would suggest http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/16saqRzt-riot-illaoi

I would say she's pretty balanced, except for that ult. Of she lands it on 2-3 people it's game over for the enemy teamfighters.

cthulu demands it. give in.

BoulderoxNov 28, 20151 votes

No, her e is super opressive with her playstyle of turtling in lane. When an assassin main says that they are op, it's just more wood for the fire. https://youtu.be/-mBquhFzPgQ

Are you playing the same game as me?

Trash MammaINov 28, 20151 votes

A game where item 1001 exist..yes, i'm probably one of the few people smart enough to buy it and laugh as illaoi can do nothing against you though

I'm in bronze and everyone buys boots. It doesn't help for shit.
