Illaoi needs help in this new world
She's the last champion to ever admit weakness, but Illaoi is having some real trouble adjusting to the new runes.
Its made most other champions faster moving, deadlier, and therefore a lot harder to keep up with.
The only rune keystone that seems to work for her is Kleptomancy - and as a largely immobile melee fighter, that's a real problem when fighting anyone smart enough not to take her baits into her tentacles.
Because champions now have access to more movement increase runes, more damage, etc. Illaoi can't land as many hits with her tentacle smash, or worse - she's unable to survive long enough to really take advantage of her own ultimate.
Champions everywhere can now get a stopwatch and she's hardly durable enough to deal enough damage like she used to with her R combos.
If she was item dependent before, she's much more so now.
Her tentacles could use a faster reaction time (take less time to hit an area), and she could use a greater ability to withstand and take damage.
Whatever might've made her potentially OP before has now become a liability because of what was built into balance her - giving quite a delay before a tentacle smash hits or so on.
Even her healing isn't quite helpful because of how more often someone is going to dodge than before.
Help out this champion, please. Being weak in game is not like her at all.
