Before I only had to worry about 2 slams after breaking the leash but now it's like 5, wtf?

and the hitbox indicators for her tentacle slams are bullshit lies, not sure if it was always like that and I only noticed now because of how insanely oppressive they've become, if it's due to skin sin, or if it's a new thing.

the logical side of me thinks its just another trolll from riot to boost skin sales until the problem becomes viral and they nerf as planned.

WOW.

I main illaoi. Pretty sure it is 3 slams pre lvl 7 (on illaoi) and 4 slams post lvl 7 as they slam 1 second faster at lvl 7. If you had to dodge 5 slams you probably got hit by the e twice before it ended This was changed from a flat 3 slams about 6 months ago and the tentacle spirit respawn time decreased (compensation nerfed by her actual passive spawn time increased and tentacles don't last as long) to try and prevent people from getting hit by spirit pull and their best option being breaking it, killing one tentacle, and then standing right where it spawned and never getting hit. At the same time they removed illaoi's spirit breaks faster when you damage illaoi mechanic and compensation nerfed her e to last 2 less seconds 9->7. Her hitboxes are kind of weird, but you just have to pretend they are like sion q, they come out about 50 units from where the animation shows and start slightly slightly behind the character model. Any other questions?

Q hitboxes were broken on corners since her release. E was changed in august 2019 iirc (attacking Illaoi doesn't shorten your soul presence anymore, but now it's 7 seconds, not 9, so she is actually worse early against tanks). Her passive slams were changed at the same patch. Basically - higher level - slams are more often.

just in case you missed 9.13 the boards said it was negligible en masse so have at you.
