Illaoi so OP

Ace11Heart··3 votes·1,543 views

I don't normally post, but I can't help at find Illaoi is too strong. Top lane she dominates, I've seen her dominate mid and bottom as well. I've seen her tank towers alone and with enough life and attack damage to succeed. She has strong ranged attacks and its suicide to get close. Her tentacles attach to your tower so defending under it is ridiculous. If she uses Test of Spirit your forced to run into her close range to defend but wait, tentacles are waiting to massacre you. If you run away your still stuck with Vessel and have to deal with that for far too long, and once again those tentacles do way too much damage. What can't she do? I'm sure there are some champs that may shut her down, if so they are too few or logistically not worth picking. I am no LOL expert by any means, I've played for years and am used to dealing with champions that are OP to some degree, its part of the game and I move on. I think this particular champion needs to be fixed sooner rather than later. I just hope Riot sees this in their internal testing or at least look at it. I'll be ridiculously surprised if they do this research and don't nerf her in some way.

Honestly, I'm agreeing with you 100% here.

They need to... A) Get rid of Illaoi's E B) Replace Illaoi's ult with her E, but change the E to something else C) Nerf the duration of the E D) Give all tentacles 1 health instead of 2 E) Put the E on a 60-second cooldown

Notice how all of them revolve around Illaoi's E? Yeah, it's fucking ridiculous.

she may take a damage nerf, but shes a champion that you can counter with high-grade cc, such as Lulu, Nasus, and nasus, as well with kiting her with champions such as vayne.

What is there to nerf? Her damage? thats all she has. She has no mobility and no cc.

I've been getting back into playing Nasus (trying a different build and rune set up)and yesterday went up against an illaoi. Guess what? I smashed her, I think I killed her 3-4 times in lane.

What I did to win? First I looked at what she was building(I then counter build, so health and armor)

I then let her spam her abilities till she is out of mana, dodge the Q and the E(you do know that if you stand behind minions she can't hit you with her E right? Same with blitzcranks grab)

When she would ult? Just walk right out.

In lane when I knew I could get a kill I would W, E and Q her in a circle.

The only champ I had a problem with was Xin. But I think if I built differently I may have done better.

Also the tenticles are stackable

Learn motion to dodge her entire kit, retreat if she ultis and respect it, have the adc buy executioner's calling when lane phase is over. Basic repositioning prevents her damage.

Illaoi is useless. Stop being overwhelmed by the theory behind her.

Her design, lore and gameplay are amazing but just doesn't work because of how much flaws she has getting to her damage which isn't even insane when not fed late game. She falls off late game and super early if the adc is competent and buys executioner's calling.

How am I supposed to dodge her q, if its hitsbox doesnt even match correctly aswell as Illaoi's movement while doing the skill completely misfits the animation, giving me no clear hint when her q will hit?
