complete trash champion lol, you can do absolutely nothing unless your entire team packs hard CC and babies you so you can get a good ult and not get immediately thrown out of it and made worthless
why would I ever pick this gimmick trash over Darius, even Garen, even YORICK is better than Illaoi
TheSequelsRBad3 votesShe is fine, she is just very conditional. She is a really strong pick against engage comps or shot range teamfight comps, but she is really weak against disengage or poke comps. Not to mention she has a really strong lane phase, and can get a pretty good splitpush snowball going.
TBH, I think it is a good thing for a champ to have clearly defined strengths and weaknesses. Makes the game more interesting than champs that are always useful.
Kukan Seishin2 votesBecause I beat 
and every single tank ever in this game with illaoi, it is probably just you, but if your team has no cc and you pick illaoi, it is your fault if you are playing top, expect to have a bad game then
Big Lincoln2 votesyeah that one game you have with Illaoi in ranked is really convincing me
Kukan Seishin1 votesI don't play her in ranked, In fact I try to avoid top, but when I do get top I play 
I think the only reason I HAVE a game with illaoi in ranked is because cassio was picked, and fio was banned, (idk why I didn't pick yas, might have been a darius idk was a while ago)
Ralanr1 votesHe's not entirely wrong on the CC part. Illaoi isn't a champion that works well in any team comp or can make herself work in them. Like most juggernauts not named Darius, she actually relies on her team to start the fights or to keep people close because no one in their right mind would willingly fight Illaoi if she had any potential advantage.
Big Lincoln1 votesya know who else works just like that? 
Ralanr1 votesYeah. That's what inherently the weakness of the juggernaut class. They either can't or suck at forcing fights.
Only Darius can really do that, which is probably why he's the only one good in SoloQ (that and most juggernauts are still just walking stat sticks).
If Illaoi could reliably force fights, she'd be broken because of how much power she has in her zone.
Big Lincoln1 votesThat's why Darius is the only good one period tbh
Ralanr1 votesSadly true.
Nik Nikerson2 votesLike he said, most juggernauts not named Darius.
Big Lincoln1 votesand people wonder why the majority of them are troll picks
h5LYF41Lam1 votesduuuuude illaoi is a juggernaut dont pick juggernauts on enemy teams that have good kite and cc.
Big Lincoln2 votestrash design fam a lam
h5LYF41Lam1 voteseex dee you say that now but have you ever seen an illoi or darius 1v2,3 in lane .... i have
Miror B1 votesJust don't let Quas know, otherwise he might stop murdering people in challenger with it...
BIackfox1 votesWho?
Shuyin1781 votesI've 1v4 quadra killed several times on my Illaoi, you don't need CC to hold your hand when you 100-0 multiple enemies in an instant.
Abisu1 votesTo be honest I think you just suck at playing 
because I can lane just fine against and . The point is that you want the enemy to fight on your terms not theirs. So, if you're going in trying to ult on someone they're not just gonna sit there and let you do it. [zombie-brand-facepalm] You want people to come to you and boy if you say "they won't come because they're scared" then you're just stupid. Give them a reason to fight you push a lane for gods sake and make it on your terms. Sounds like you keep chasing with Illaoi which is just stupid. I'm sorry but I can't let you just trash on my main champ bruh, you just stupid. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
Big Lincoln1 voteswhy are you reviving month old threads just to make yourself look like a baboon?
Abisu1 votesWhy you ask? Because I can, better than reviving year old threads. The fact that you replied makes you even more of a baboon.
Big Lincoln1 votesThe fact that you replied makes you even more of a baboon.
that's not how it works.
you responded to this thread without even realizing that I play Illaoi quite a lot now, or that I made a thread the next day saying that she's one of my favorite champions after I figured her out.
so fuck off
Critmaster Garen1 votesthe sad part is, as far as juggernauts go illaoi has a lot of potential to be not worthless like a sack of shit against kitey teams, due to her test of spirit.
shes literally a worse version pantheon. her only strengh is that she crushes a couple of lane matchups and then cant even use that advantage to carry when the game progresses past the lane phase.
at least pantheon beats almost everyone in lane.

why am i not realizing that this is a necro?
actually doesnt matter. i mean illaoi didnt change. shes still trash.
Big Lincoln1 votesillaoi's only issue is being worthless vs range, to a bigger extreme than a lot of juggs. she's also a little too honest and telegraphed, but that's fair for how hard she hits
they need to make her E based on proximity and not "you will never get vesseled if you're ranged or have DoT" and her tentacles to scale in life bars exclusively for ranged champs or something to that effect.
she's pretty good tho but until riot realizes that JUGGERNAUTS should be the late game supreme gods, we'll never get the power we deserve

her early game is ridiculously strong against a lot of melees. far more than darius even imo.
its completely worthless against ranged champions, due to how easy it is for them to take out her tentacles without putting themselves into the same compromising spots as melee champions (the fact that tentacles spawn on walls means youll always have to move out of cover to take them, which might get your spirit hooked.)
her mid to lategame is trash, since she cant build tentalces fast enough after a roam. and that phase is all about roaming.
