I genuinely don’t think a champion should be able to dish out AND tank this much damage, I don’t care about her mobility problem if she grazes you, you are dead and she’s unkillable too that’s what makes it so cancerous… being able to LITERALLY 1v9 while tanking everything is just not fair, whenever I see that champion locked in the other team I basically resign to the fact that even if I go 15+ kills (Which is a usual thing) I’ll still lose to her if she has the minimum of 8 kills and a viable keyboard I don’t know why Riot haven’t nerfed this… her E is one of the worst abilities in the game people always say to “just dodge it” but if you’re in her proximity you’re gonna get hit whether you like it or not.
She’s literally the world’s easiest champion to bully level 1 and 2. Level 3 you still beat her in a fight unless she grabs your soul and 2 tentacles are both in range to hit it (unless your champion is also worthless at level 3 like Kayle I guess). Pre-level 6 Illaoi is literally a joke to gank.
Post-level 6, it’s going to go one of two ways. Either she hard pushes to your tower and fishes for her E in front of your tower, or she still can’t dare to walk up to you and is probably at her tower instead. If she isn’t fishing for her her E, her other choice is holding onto her E for a point blank enemy engage or to try and go W-E for a point-blank self engage. Keep that in mind.
If she ever misses her E, you have free reign to bully and zone her till it’s back up. If she ults, just back off for a bit and let her waste it achieving nothing except looking dumb and then engage again once the spawned tentacles vanish.
Losing to her is a brain diff.
