So Illaoi is only good in Gold or less and then only some of the time in gold
Played about 50 games and owned in low ranks with her. People dont know to not fight her with her Tentacles up unless you have a stun/silence/knockup.
Once you get to upper gold and then plat, the champs that are picked out play her mechanics not the player. She just is too slow and can only activate one ability at a time (fyi they interrupt each other if you do).
Sadly riot has made a buch of champs that build one type of item (Tank/AD/AP) and ether get both Def and Offense out of them or they have Def/Offense built in to the champ. In Plat you see a TON of these champs and they tend to also have a stun/silence or knockup or in some cases two of those. Illaoi just cant compete with them and even in team fights gets shut down.
She needs a touch up on how her abilities work. They activate WAY to slow to compete at higher lvls and there are still bugs with her W and E that never were fixed on the PBE....
