Illaoi tentacle clearing problem

People might dismiss this as me being butt hurt, but I think there is a problem with how illaoi's tentacle spawning works. There have been too many times in lane where i clear an illaoi tentacle and it immediately respawns in the exact same place. Its already hard enough to clear her tentacles without getting grabbed, tentacled and vessel-ed, but the instant respawn just takes away all the benefit from the risk of clearing. There should be some kind of time limit where a tentacle should not be able to spawn in a small vicinity for a couple of seconds, because as it stands, the only time you can clear illaoi's tentacles safely is when she leaves lane, you have a ranged auto attack, or if shes too low to fight you.

Or, you could realize her tentacle spawn has like 20-12 second static cooldown and play around that? What you're saying is you're suggesting a nerf. Illaoi doesn't need even the slightest nerf. She's already suffered various unnecessary and necessary changes.

just pick garen.

He counters her in every single ways

Start with w and just tank her until you reach lvl 3 then snowball her

If you have pushed too far just look for tentacles because they procs your w passive which give +30 armor and allow you to go full ad and hurt her so hard early game she cant do anything

Late game is about silencing her and splitpush since she cannot do anything vs garen except landing her e

And garen's q + ghost allows him to splitpush way beter than illaoi because he bassically have more MS (I suggest ms runes in this matchup)
