If Illaoi is "Broken" then so is this champ:

Blitzcrank If the only reason yall are complaining about the E being so deadly if because of the harass and damage, then Blitz needs his Q nerfed NOW!

This is why:

Blitz(The trollbot), the untouched machine since almost season 3, has a Q that is most definitely certain death in most cases. Not even some.

The thing is, with Illaoi, her E is definitely a headache if caught--IF caught, but at good reason. It is slow, it is predictable, it is blocked by minions and unless your aim is magical--you will miss 2/5 times either because the target knows what they are doing or because the launch time is already so bad.

With Blitz, sure, it is blocked by minions--and pretty predictable. However, the difference is, you don't have a chance. The only way you are surviving a Blitz grab is if the Blitz does not do enough damage--or there is no one next to him. Otherwise, you WILL die. You are pulled into a knock-up, followed by an ult that with 45% cooldown, comes every 14-16 seconds that does over 400-500AP damage after all of that you went through. Plus tower if so unlucky... what?

So you're telling me a grab that doesn't even move you, gives you a chance to live with a possible minigame if you escape is broken compared to what we already have out there? Come on, lets not push Riot to ruin a decent champ.

eh i'd say her e is much safer then blitz hook because you can use it on pretty much anyone with little risk, blitzcrank q's an amumu/alistar he screwed his team pretty much. illaoi e's the alistar/amumu and her team just beats on them with no risk and then you get her tentacles doing damage to them and possibly their team. plus blitz's entire kit is based around that grab which means thats pretty much all he does, illaoi's kit just has the soul grab as an added option to her kit. im not saying shes op at all you're just comparing apples and oranges. you compare a support champ(mainly) that functions on low gold income so he isnt damage based(and honestly when you play him out of support role and actually get items he does pretty good damage). and you're comparing him to a damaging juggernaut top laner that can farm easily almost always to get damage items.

Illaoi is more like Heimerdinger. She puts constant pressure and there are tons of tentacles you need to defeat.

The only thing that gets me going with illoai is the tenticals. But but.. The only time I played against her was on howling abyss and the tenticals were everywhere.

The soul pulling didn't do much in my opinion.

Alls I have to say is when Snowdon comes... Ban illoai. Or you will get tentikilled.

But on sipummoners rift I have yet to determine hernstrength
