Illaois E

Tailed Foxx··2 votes·821 views

Welp... I usually don't cry about fresh released champions, but I feel like her kit is simply annoying and her E overloaded.

To make it clear -> she is not unbeatable. But tentacles spawning near towers or in the base is simply o.O ... all the other "pets" (Zyras plants, Malzahars voidling, TIbbers) get targeted by towers. If you escape a situation, but you are a vessel that forces you to walk in base because there is no point on the map where you could possibly be safe.

Also, she takes your soul -> I take 25-45% dmg... ok.... I get slowed... ok.... but 1 minute I must watch my ass for the tentacles that deal massive damage. That is simply annoying and I feel like this is too much for just one ability. Also, it kind of draws you out of the fight when you are a vessel. You must consume 6 aa to get rid of that. That is a lot if you are an adc. And in solo queue people don't realize when you are a vessel and kill the tentacles themselves. At least if I hit it one time that should count as a stack to get rid of her E.

I suggest the following:

  • reduce the damage dealt by tentacles to the vessel;
  • reduce the time (1 minute is too long); or
  • let me chose if I take the damage dealt to my spirit or I become a vessel. So if I am an immobile champ I would rather take the damage, otherwise I will become a vessel, because its easy for me to doge. An other variable would be my current HP... if I am low ofc I won't take the damage, because that might kill me. So there will be decision making for me.

AND PLEASE... Don't let the tentacles spawn in the fountain.

if you kill 3 tentacles while being a vessel you dispel the debuff. Also every time she gets damaged the duration of the spirit being pulled out decreases by 1 sec

Try killing them and dodging their extremely slow attacks. Same goes for her E which is a very slow projectile that forces her to stay in place while casting it while also having relatively short range. It isn't overloaded.

You also only become a vessel if she kills your spirit OR you leave the area while your spirits exists.

You misunderstood me. I am doing that (dodging and killing). I did not say it's easy to land her E. And I know how you become a vessel. Let's say -> 5v5 situation, both teams are equal. She manages to land the E on you. All her team hits your spirit and kills it fast. It's no way you can not become a vessel in that situation. So you have less HP and you are slowed for 2 seconds. And then they can afford to start the fight. Instead of fully focusing on the fight you must look out for the randomly spawning tentacles... doge and kill them... doge all the enemy spells that come at you... try not to die and deal damage. I am just saying it is annoying.

And tell me how exactly a spell that does 3 different things (damage, slow and a 1 minute effect) it's not overloaded? And it's not even an ultimate.

And why would you be hit by such a such a short range ability in the first place? From my experience it is extremely easy to juke and see coming, Chances are if illaoi hits you with it, you deserved to be hit by it because you are way way out of position.

Her tentacles attack about .75 seconds after they spawn.

Good luck walking out of that if they lead their attacks. (which they CAN do)

So they attack .75 seconds AFTER they spawn and then they still have to attack which takes about .5 seconds so you have about a total of 1.25 seconds to move out of the aoe. Its very very very very easy to walk out of even without boots.

I meant that they spawn and attack within .75 seconds.

Either I'm not pushing my champion to walk fast enough, or I need to do a double take and have her land a few more abilities.

or your ping or regular reaction time is rather low.

Walking straight out of it and still being hit by it still has nothing to do with reaction time or ping.

They don't lead their attacks, even if it may look like so when you walk directly opposite of them.

Seems like it, the hitbox indicators are messed up for most of her spells.

Actually there are a few places where you are very safe from tentacles while being a vessel. The wide open areas around the river entrances in all three lanes. If you stand there the tentacles have nothing to grab onto.

Oh well... you are right :D

But you are usually not in that area if you just escaped a bad situation. ^..^

Her E is overloaded because the rest of her kit is incredibly simple and one might even say underloaded.

Tbh her E is just a blitz hook that spawns tentacles to attack if your spirit dies

Even if turned into a vessel just avoid getting hit and kill 3 tentacles
