When will riot tune down Illaoi
Her ad scaling is crazy and she is a monster when it comes to damage and sustain. Why isn't she hit with the nerf hammer yet?

Having fought her a number of times and having fought as her one time, I can honestly say that she is not that hard to fight. You can literally run circles around her and destroy her while all she can do is throw a tantrum on target locations. You died to her? Try not standing still. Your team clustered around her while her ult was off CD? Then you guys deserved whatever pain she issued you.
When I fight Illaoi anymore, it feels like I am in a slow motion battle with me at normal speed. It's hilarious how pathetic she looks when she can't touch me. For all her AD scaling amounts to Jack and shit and Jack left town.

Because Riot likes to shove the new champion down everyone's throats by making it OP. This has happened with a bunch of the other champions when they were new, too.
As soon as players learn how to dodge slow skillshots so they can get an idea of how much damage it should deal on hit.
When you just sit there and take every tentacle to the face without trying to get out of the way they actually want you to lose your lane, so they certainly aren't going to nerf Illaoi around a situation where she should definitely win.
This is the first and only rational point I've ever seen made about Illaoi.
Her damage is high, and it needs to be scaled back a bit. I can agree with that.
Her damage is fine, just learn the basics of positioning and you counter her whole team, ask the adc to buy executioner and she falls off even harder. She's basically a champ who tells players they need to L2P.
She's even kind enough to tell you to move.
I dunno, while I don't disagree (honestly I don't) I kind of forgot she was a champion already. Already seeing her play rate fall off from her release. She is super annoying but hard to think about it when I'm not seeing her in any of my games.
As of right now, she still has a fairly poor winrate. That may change eventually, since her winrate seems to climb with player experience, but for now, it isn't likely she will be nerfed anytime soon.
the problem with illaoi is her only counterplay as a melee is to not interact in lane, but then she outscales so hard cause of her dumb ad scalings. also, her base stats are ridiculous, seriously , she has base stats to compete with MEGA GNAR
