I think that Illaoi will be a tough solo top laner. Something like a Tahm Kench and Garen Mixed in together. She seems to offer mediocre sustain,good wave clear and damage but poor mobility. I currently think that Illaoi should be built like WuKong or Riven. Armor and Magic Resist,with damage and life steal. As for the champions who counters Illaoi,I think that any champion that can kite her or constantly achieve high movement speed will counter her. I was thinking of Udyr. He is fast enough to abuse her tentacles and strong enough to take some damage whilst shredding Illaoi. Riven,LeeSin and Yasuo will also be able to coutner pretty damn hard. The Main thing i'm conceded about is objective control when facing an Illaoi. She has the power to dominate any champion in the jungle,given time to set up. I am quite concerned about securing the Baron or Dragon when gainst Illaoi. SO.. post all your thoughts below

:D

I'm actually really looking forward to playing her; She's probably the first champion (Other than the new Poppy coming out) that I've looked at and said "Wow. I think I've finally found a champion that I seriously want to 'main'". I've never really had one before, but she looks incredibly fun. Not only that, but unique and tanky; Just my playstyle.

As for builds, I'd try anything with a mixture of AD and defensive stats. I'd probably pick up a defensive item if losing (Visage/Sunfire or Randuins), and end up with Boots, three damage items, and two defensive items. Try Sterak's, Maw, Frozen Mallet, Iceborn, and things like that, plus a nice hefty defensive item for a chunk of survivability (Like the two mentioned above).

I think she is going to be a weirdly viable support.

She would be like Blitzcrank or Leona in how she just sits in the bush waiting to snatch some souls. When she gets a soul, the adc just has to help her destroy it and vóila! Free harass without doing much at all. The next minute will be spent with the enemy having to worry about not getting tentacle-raped while she and her adc just stand there farming or whatever while the enemy is too busy destroying tentacles to really all-in you because if they do; they are in for a world of pain when she does her q-w combo and chunks them while the adc turns them into a pin-cushion.

item 3070 ~~That will be fun to play against!~~ [zombie-nunu-bummed]

But for real, she looks like a lot of fun

My thoughts on her? No. Please no. Can we talk about her e? That "take your soul and fuck it" type thing? I mean they haven't released any numbers yet as far as I have seen, but it seemed like TF got messed up in that video. Lets imagine this champion getting fed and building excessive damage, then stealing your soul. Then what? You die. Even if you run away, they can still damage you. Its like a stun that doesn't really stun you. Your soul can't flash, it can't barrier or heal, it can't even try to walk away. I mean it might not be that bad considering how they work the numbers, but right now its terrifying to me, way more so then any of her other abilities.

I found that as playing Nasus her passive tentacles allow for easy stacks Nasus
