New champion Illoai

Honestly from the looks of it she looks like another op AP champion whose range is ridiculous because you don't even need to be near her to be hit as long as she Uses her E on you. There go all the melee fighters. [zombie-brand-mindblown]

I'm saying you're over-reacting.

how so? she literally takes your soul, and her whole team can hit it and just kill you that way. no flashes needed or dashes able to make an escape and the range of it is so long. like what are you supposed to do with that? Jungler doesn't even need to gank. she E's you and jungler and her hit you and boom your either died or way behind.

Riot hasn't even done a reveal, this champ isn't on pbe yet. You're speculating everything at this point. Give it a few days in PBE before you start sounding the alarm at least lol.

Honestly, she seems more like she will be effective against marksman and ranged ap. If you're melee you can choose to engage if she is gonna be attacking you anyway. Marksman, assassins and ranged mages however will be hit hardest by having their ability to position temporarily made irrelevant.

First, her E does WAAAAYYYY less dmg then you think, is actually hard to hit, i bet will be nerfed, and idk if it hits minions. The point of the E is to force you to defend your spirit, or engage a fight. Youll win the trade if she just attacks your spirit as that does a PORTION of the dmg. And the E CANNOT kill you. Only the afterwards tentacles can, and its your fault if they spawn as either you ran 2 far, or you let her kill ya spirit. And the range on her E is big so you can still run away some distance without getting a slow.

i wish she would look a bit more feminine

She looks perfectly feminine considering her character...

She doesn't?

She has the body of a strong, physical fighter who can go toe-to-toe (considering the setting of the game) with demons, celestial beings, and other badasses.

Oh, do you mean traditionally feminine? Well sorry, but that would be inappropriate! You see, people have various body shapes based on genetics, diet, and exercise! A lot of the more "traditional" feminine champions, including the often cited Sona Ahri Zyra MissFortune are like that for a reason! You see, most of them use magic or weaponry for ranged combat, and thus are unused to physical brawling that Illoai would be. Constant physical exertion = more muscles.

Secondly, using those champions as an example, most of them actually have justified reasons for their "traditional feminine" appearance. Sona is a musician, and thus dresses and upholds herself appropriate for that fashion. Ahri began her more sentient life seducing and absorbing the lives of men, and uses magic and trickery over brute force, so the more "femme fatale" appearance is actually appropriate for the battleground. Zyra has a similar backstory, and purposely shaped her form to be tempting toward men! Miss Fortune probably has some skill in the seduction department, but considering how badass she is probably gives 0 fucks.

You see, these "traditionally feminine" women are like that for a reason, and would not be able to be like Illaoi just like Illaoi would not be like them. Armor and proper protection would probably hinder the four cited champions' abilities, and honestly would be useless, whereas Illaoi cannot use the same kind of magic, weaponry, or ranged abilities they can!

tl;dr: When you constantly physically exert yourself, instead of relying on magic or guns, you tend to build up muscle.

It's funny because tons of people were just complaining that we needed more female diversity and women were objectified too much in league. Honestly who the fuck cares how feminine she looks, I care that her abilities and gameplay look cool as hell. If she was a midget yordle summoning tentacles I would like this champion just as much.
