This is kind of random but, NEW META: ADC AND SUP MID LANE AND PUT THE MID LANER BOT it might not seem good at first but hear me out 1.mid is a lot safer than bot when a jg comes in for a gank 2.adc could help out with the rift herald and dragon 3.dont you want the support,( the main warder on your team) to be at the center of the map. 4.its better to push mid anyways, with an adc mid, the mid lane will get pushed a lot faster. I mean how bad could this be tho

If I acquired my favorite champs passive, I would get extra attack speed when I killed someone for 6 seconds. Lame

Ok put this into consideration for a new champ

Name: Valaby Sub-Name: the Spirit Earthwarden Passive: On any impassible terrain summons a okaraby (rock elemental) to random spots dealing damage to nearby enemies. If A okaraby hits a soul it explodes dealing more damage. Q: Earthen Spike Passive: after Earthen Spike hits an enemy champion grants death tested to that champion. If Valaby hits that champion within 10 seconds their soul gets knocked out. Defeating this soul grants 5 okaraby to surrounding area and granting soul mark. Active: Valaby strikes the ground with her Zaluga sending a fissure to target area knocking up enemy champion. W: Earthborn Weapon Passive: deals bonus true damage to soul marked champions. Active: Self cast: Empowers Zaluga granting bonus ad and armor to Valaby Ally Cast: Grants Bonus armor and movespeed to target champion Enemy Cast: Jump-Strikes target enemy champion dealing damage to enemy champion and orders all okaraby to attack that target champion if they are in range. E: Blue Lava Blast: Passive: Killing Minions and monsters Grants Valaby 0.25 armor and ap. Active: Blasts Target With Blue Lava Dealing Magic Damage. R: Comet Strike Valaby Throws Zaluga toward target location dealing massive damage to enemies hit in that line Weapon: Zaluga. A Stone Spear Tipped With Lava.

plz lets talk about illaoi

honestly i think the only problem with her is the fact she was made to be able to played as both solo lane and support, if almost any champion is able to paly a solo lane there base stats have to be high enuf to do so and any support champion has to be tanky / supportive enuf to do so bu illaoi has both, much like tham kench she is tanky with a high sustained and poke damage output. both building tanky and get damage passively, but are oppressive enough to play as support, let me just say it is not her damage or oppressiveness that need addressed it is only one of them she needs to be a support or a toplaner, it needs to be decided for her as a champion to move on to the next stage of development

i would personally say she needs to be a toplaner with reduced ad scaling and a hitbox fix on her tenticals +the ability to kill ult spawned tenticals and most of all the absurd non option when she lands an E (run and die if you are low or fight and die)

i will admit she has some couterplay but she is still overpowered, anyway im out (drops mic)
