Illaoi's E (Test of Spirit)

Daxanater··1 votes·703 views

(Just before I start, I'd like to clear off sorry for my english it isn't the best, second I'm actually the brother of this account just waiting for my boards account to get fixed)

Currently I've been playing a lot of normals in the top lane with a lot of bruisers. When I first played Illaoi I went about 0 11, I had no clue what was I doing but one thing for sure that I know Illaoi's test of spirit creates way to much zone potential, you know how in bots you chase them when the bot is low enough to kill, one thing for sure its almost exactly like that.

Possible solutions play against Illaoi test of spirit. (These are just ideas, I bet there is a ton more pros/cons and ways to play against test of spirit, dodging the skill shot will not be added)

  • Running away from spirit. Pros: Able to take less damage. Cons: Denying farm and possible for Illaoi to get ahead and possibly get a 1 or 2 level advantage even if you might be winning lane.

  • Fight her. Pros: Reduces the time of test of spirit. Can create opportunities for champions like Riven or Yasuo. Cons: Tends to get killed if Illaoi is level 6.

  • QSS Vessel Pros: Gets rid of your vessel. Cons: Pretty bad to rush early.

My thoughts on Test of Spirit should get reworked/nerfed.

Basically I feel for her E is what makes her lane phase great but annoying to play against. Overall I really want her E to be nerfed or reworked. Her E gives great zone potential and can deny a lot of farm from the opponent and fall behind. Some ideas I came up with for a small rework could be maybe a certain amount of damage to the spirit can affect the damage of the tentacles, a nerf can be to reduce the spawn rate of the tentacles, my final thoughts would if Illaoi can have a certain debuff when she is attacking the spirit or if Illaoi hits her opponent with one of her abilites it would like make it so the spirit is vulnerable and able to use test of spirit

Honestly I'm not sure but please leave some feedback. It's always appreciated, if you guys have any ideas or want to create me, prove me wrong. It doesn't matter just wanted to get some people thinking about Illaoi.

The only real change it needs is leaving the area doesnt vessal you and only slows. thats.... it.

That's a pretty good idea. Thanks for the feedback!

Then you'd have to buff illaoi so every hit to a spirit does a bonus % of the spirit's HP as true damage so the spirit can die faster

All that needs to happen is being in range of a killed tentacle counts toward all vessels instead of having to last hit it.

Illaoi is in need of buffs not nerfs. If you actually could dodge worth your grandmother she is EASY to lane vs.

#1 thing to remember. bate her ult and walk away. Never fight her with her ult and you will win.

Or pick her counters

Pretty good feedback! Thanks I agree as well, probably she needs a bit more I suppose.

Pretty much anyone ranged or can zone her. Illaoi is, to be perfectly honest, a counter champ. What she counters, she counters HARD.

I only really wish she had a real passive. and her W created tentacles when used to last hit, and when used to last hit an epic monster or champion created a super tentacle. Her W is REALLY out of place in her kit and doesnt make sense aside from the whole target thing.
