Let's nerf Illaoi.

But in a smart way.

I've noticed a two problems with Illaoi over the past month she's been out.

Once she gets ahead, it is very hard to keep her down -Illaoi is the type of champion that can easily 1v2 or even 1v3 if ahead. This is due to her unkillable nature and her massive damage.

Even with full tank, Illaoi can take chunks out of most people. But even if she builds a lot of damage, she with still be hard to kill. This is due to her base damages and her sustain on tentacle hit.

Her E effect lasts a long time -Its very easy for Illaoi to take down the spirit in early game due to her damage. This can lead to very frustrating situations.

Once you end the E effect, illaoi can very easily proc it again. This vicious cycle can continue until you lose tower or she leaves lane. During that time, she can effectively zone you completely from CS while staying at a moderate range.

Suggested Nerfs -Nerf her sustain on tentacle hit. This rewards good illaois and punishes bad illaois because now they simply can't jump into the enemy team 1v3. The illaoi player must chose when to fight and when not to, and this gives her opponents more of a chance to take her down.

-Add a timer ring around the champion she last used E successfully on. Just like Udyr or Nautilus, timers on when an ability can proc again can keep a champion balanced.

Thank you for your time!
