Illaoi not that OP

Platvek·Nov 30, 2015·2 votes·798 views

Hello, I'm a top lane main and I heard people saying that is OP, but i played with and didn't think that.

I started and ( i know doen't use mana but it works well for me ) I rushed e started working on ( not that useful against but i wanted to get them for later ) then got and ( you can see the match in the link btw)

I'm unranked ( i don't like to try hard , just having fun ) the was bronze V ( :P ) we had 3 gold V and a silver V they had Silver V , IV and II and Plat V

Reasons i think might be a counter to :

Kills 's passive from a distance ( works well to remove Vessel )

Can dodge 's E and Q with his E

The new Thunderlord's Decree gives a lot of burst ( AA +Q + AA is a very fast way to proc it )

If 's E gets you you can stun her in mega

tl;dr I think counters

Tell me your thoughts

Any one with range and % hp is her counter per say. The skill cap of the illaoi is too small for an accurate representation of how a champion should be used .

but if i land her E for the stun. that's a good amount of damage! and if I get bork..... x3

I know bork was nerfed but still getting it on champions who deal % of health damage already just magnify their power against tanks..

Doesn't surprise me Gnar counters her.. Wouldn't surprise me if Kennen countered her too or Quinn

It's mainly Melee people who struggle against her..

I played against her 2 times in a row as Poppy first time i got Smashed... Second time I knew what to expect, Dodging her E most of the time and if she did E me, I would look at the spot she was in and determine weather to all-in her while she was trying to beat my spirit.. If she had no tenticals to smash me, I went ham on her... and managed to not become a vessel most of the time.

She was still stronger than me alone.. but after about 2 successful ganks from my jungler.. i started to be able to beat her.. Sometimes it's all it takes is those two small ganks..

I agree that Illoai can somewhat be very annoying and dominate in lane but if you play smart you might be able to have a successful lane despite being melee.

I destroyed her with Singed . He is too fast for any of her skill shots to hit him and the poison just takes care of everything else. I started 0-2 but after I figured out what she does my first time laning against her it was easy, even with a 0-2 start.
