I love to play Illaoi but I always struggle with what to build on her.
So Far I got a build that looks like this
/ 
/ 
Runes 3 AD Quints 9 AD Marks 9 Armor Seals 9 MR Glyphs
Masteries https://i.gyazo.com/8e78b8c3fe9336d1394918e55218d64d.png
Also what do you guys do for abilities? Some say max E Q W, some say QWE, others QEW, it all very confusing for me
Help would be appreciated and hail Nagakabouros

Your runes are fine, but scaling MR is better for glyphs imo and MAYBE scaling health instead, for seals. I also like flat armor pen for marks because she has some of the highest base ADs in the game.
Your core build needs a lot of work. Illaoi is an amazing splitpusher, but she's okay in teamfights as well.
Core items:
Death's Dance for SP build/Black Cleaver for TF build Iceborn Gauntlet in general Spirit Visage The MR boots with the CC reduction
Situational: Sterak's against hard carries Maw against specifically AP carries QSS/Mercurial against a lot of CC
So on and so forth. Building her as a tank is suboptimal because she needs AD for actual damage and is useless without it. She's not a tank, she's a lifesteal bruiser/juggernaut.
I always max W last. Just not rewarding. I max Q generally. E against a super easy bully lane usually.
warpenguin5551 votesNot really a main but I have level 5 on her so I do know how to play her
is what i get. The 1st 2 items are what i always complete 1st and in that order, next 2 depend on what kind of damage the enemy team has so the order is flipped around sometimes, The boots i just get whenever i have spare gold really. i almost never get to 6 items so i cant really say what the 6th slot would be, i guess i'd just try to adapt to what the enemy team is doing.
I dont know jack shit about runes for any champion.
We have pretty similar mastery pages, except since mine is for juggernauts and bruisers as a whole and not just Illaoi so i went into cunning instead and took less points in recovery and put 4 into unyielding. I also like cunning because i feel like Dangerous Game and Merciless are pretty awesome masteries
Skill order i go R>Q>E>W. i tend to play more mages so it just works for me to have the ranged harass, plus some games i tend to botch my soul pulls a ton so maxing q 1st makes it hurt less if im not landing them.
so yeah i hope i didnt just make things more confusing
