Illaoi Hype Thread?

Nagakabouross·Oct 31, 2015·10 votes·1,094 views

Never started a thread on here before, so sorry in advance if this is the wrong board for it, but no one seems to be discussing Illaoi, who is almost definitely going to be our next new champion.

So far the harrowing story seems to paint her as a mirthful pacific-islander type priestess, which I think is a great change up to our current roster of barbie-types. ( not withstanding) It's also a very cool culture to base a champion around.

Anyone have any insights/speculations into her?

She's depicted as a big woman and not yet another supermodel girl so I think it'd be a great change from the whole "Human females are hot" stereotype in LoL

Well she seems to be a priestess that utilizes magic,so I guess that she is gonna be some sort of ap-champ. Since she worships the bearded lady,I could imagine that her ult consists of summoning her(or at least a sea monster),as bilgewater is known to have serpent callers,who can summon seamonsters.

Alternatively she could have an ult that cleanses buffs/debuffs from champions around her,similar to how she cleansed the black mist.

Perhaps in plain sight all along? It may not be a hammer in the male figure's hand like we all believed on release, but rather a stone pillar in the female champ's arm (Illaoi). Her leaked quote speaks of "teaching lessons".

Hey, I know that icon is Harrowing related, and I was just wondering if I could get it on Harrowing events. It's the best icon ever.

Unfortunately they were released during the 2013 season and I haven't seen them offered since. I love it too, but a part of me also loves that it is legendary. If I could gift it to you I would. ; P
