I could go on a 10-hour rant and all I could go through a detailed analysis on all these but I'm not I have realized Riot is not going to nerf these ever in their current form So I'm just going to ask how do you play against these 2 things I literally have a 0% WR against these, this might just be me, but I feel these 2 have literally no counterplay even if they are played by a feeding monkey At least against many of the OP champs you can play around those but these 2 I actually can't deal with these things in the game Please help me, how do you deal with these 2 things

Illaoi is simple. Nasus vs her. Farm of her tentacles all game? Profit!

Draven is awesome late game, so shut him down early. Get someone like Caitlyn, sivir, or corki against him.

My guy Draven has been a tier 4 ADC for almost an entire season. Abuse him on his passive and on how he has to play around his axes.

For Illaoi: Don't walk into 900 tentacles?

draven hard counters are as follows,

yasuo's windwall to remove draven's q kite zed R burst dive to prevent draven from kiting/fighting back since he can only stopwatch once and never builds zhonya's full tank armor malphite to make draven deal 0 or severeluy any ap's that have instant execution R's like syndra, veigar, leblanc

you dont want to go "build up damage" champions against draven or illaoi, you need instant burst damage because the longer you fight them, the more damage they deal, that's their kit, unless they are already super fed and your behind then well not much you can do unless you won your lane and have some amount of items to challenge them with.

other then that it's all skill and ability to macro your one shot abilities, gl.

For Draven you can play Ashe and deny him by controlling distance + forcing him to focus on the waves and probably ganks but that's out of your control.

For Illaoi learn to play Shyvanna, but if you're gonna pick her only to all in just to get your family tree raped by tentacles that's completely on you, there's a proper way to play that match up that consistently favors Shyvanna, if you're good at the game you'll know the way.

Illaoi's not too bad. If you're always trying to be real aggressive, you'll probably lose to her though. Her E (soul grab) doesn't go through minions, so keep that in mind. If she does grab your soul, just walk out of range as quickly as you can without using Flash. After 6, if she jumps at you or your spirit using her W, she might be setting up for her ult; watch for her to jump into the air. If she uses it, don't try to fight her, just back off. The main thing with Illaoi is that she heals for 5% of her missing health every time a tentacle hits one or more champs. But her tentacles will only attack you if she leaps to you with W or lands her E, and are otherwise not threatening. While her ult is active (8 seconds), her W cooldown is halved (from 4s to 2s with 0% CDR), so just leave. Damaging her while your spirit is out from E used to reduce its duration, but it no longer does, so just leave if her E hits you. She has no way to keep you around.

You can cut down very significantly on her damage and sustain by simply dodging her tentacle hits. If she uses E and fails to land it, she's very vulnerable for at least ten seconds, and that's the best time to put pressure on her. Run around her to dodge her Q, watch for her ult if it's up, and you should easily beat her in a fight. She should really only ever beat you if she lands her E, so don't let her.

Draven is easy, have your Sup play a champion that makes his life miserable, like Zilean .

My friend play Zman a lot, and it's funny to watch him chase Draven around the lane, poor fucker never catches a single axe.
