Yes because you get the type of people that stand in her ult that seem to be the type of people that play ADC and go up to a 900 ap malphite and say "hit me"
Slundermin She got nerfed so hard now. Her E lasts 12 seconds, her heal is just worthless now and if you dont get a good E before starting a teamfight, you're fking dead. I'm an Illaoi main. Illaoi is really strong, but only when played right...
"But you are not actually a god." I will have you know that I, scrubmasterxx420, recently reached silver, and thus am practically a challenger god already.
Gurren Catnip Keepo do not deny that we are inferior to real professional gamers, when it comes to the competitive scene. these days, rank means nothing but shit.
i like how every time rito makes a new champion that is op and someone complains about it, there will always be some "challenger elo" players shows up and tries to defend.
+Chan Shen I like how every time riot makes a new champ with a very unique play style the individuals who are accustom to the "press enter and win" type games throw their hands up in frustration and quit. Then after a few weeks and after getting accustomed to how the champ plays and what it takes to counter lower their pitchforks/torches and store up their over-reactions for the next unique champion that riot releases. She takes some getting use too and might get some tweaks, but she isn't as op as people are claiming that she is.
It was ok with Kindred and Tahm and few more before that. But Illaoi is somewhat too much (for me at least). The E has way too much utility for a non ultimate. You go nearer to stop her, she'll hit you, you run out of range you'll get extremely slowed and have friggin tentacles spawning around you = getting hit more AND shes a tanky character. Whats the counterplay?
*There should be a hidden passive where if you type /tickle 10 times when you are fighting a Illaoi in lane she gets stunned for 3 seconds while laughing. Ten-tickles*
I was turned into a vessel and I couldn't recall anywhere because tentacles kept appearing (there are walls literally everywhere) and after I walked half of the map a tentacle killed me not to mention Illaoi was dead champions on release are fun to deal against
Kill 3 of them and you destroy the curse of being a vessel. Otherwise it was your fault for becoming one in the first place lol. And it isn't hard to dodge them at all if you pay attention.
+Laura Hime Seems about right. I mean it delivers the "Old god tentacles are trying to get you" feel, pretty well, no? All you need to do is get a little closer to the tentacle so you can hit it and avoid the attack...
Illaoi main here, for any new people trying to find out about her, some thing have changed since this video. You can no longer reduce the time left on the spirit by attacking her, and when you're a vessel you can't get rid of it by killing 3 tentacles.
It is so over-powered and annoying. Besides that, this spell triggers so many mechanics that it even objectively be an ultimate. Illaoi can trigger this way too often for it being so powerful and not an ult.
@@thejoeyexperience420 The problem is... If your braincells function properly, you'd know that's not even close to a massive buff and nowhere comparable to machine guns BECAUSE IT'S JUST THEIR SPAWNING NOT THEM HITTING.

Ha Peenes Not all of them are crazy. But quinn got a bit carried away, Graves got incredible ammounts of short ranged burst, and KogMaw with that INSANE AS boosting ability? Corki rework was much needed, but now it's hard to build against him with his increased mobility and Magic/Attack damage passive. Not that they're all being buffed, but on top of these few tweaks, we have ADC focused items in the shop that make it a bit more difficult to predict an ADC's build path and combat predictability.

And while that's not saying much... they're giving a crazy kid with firecrackers a firework from 4th of July and asking him not to blow it up.
+Dan Author I think counterplay is there. Her E does no damage, and creates a soul that reflects reduced damage to you. If you attack her, and she ignores your soul and attacks you back, both of you are doing 100% damage to each other but she is down a skill. If she focuses the soul, you're doing 100% damage to her but she is doing reduced damage to you (because your soul reflects reduced damage back to you). The only way she wins is she has to line up her own Q or her tentacles on the wall to hit both you and your soul at the same time, to amplify the damage. This is where positioning comes in, and that's the case in countless league of legends match ups. To make it easier, and frankly fair imo, the tentacles have a slight wind up time, and its hit box is outlined on the ground. Obviously you can't move your own soul, but you can look where your soul is in relation to her and the tentacles on the wall and make adjustments. Running away is the wrong thing to do, usually. Fighting is the right thing to do. She's down a skill that didn't actually damage you. Fight her, you have an extra ability on her. Just watch your positioning.
Chris Hollier Not that there isn't any counter play - but The counterplay is so limited, especially in team fights that it constricts the value of an enemy. If Illoai was squishy, counterplay focused on attacking her would be a viable excuse. But because she is designed as a tank, forcing enemies to attack her to avoid damage is completely backwards with everything else the game is designed around. Tanks (Not Juggernauts, we need to balance them) in general have CC but are to be largely ignored in team fights to focus on the squishier players. Our new tentacle girl here can force enemies into a situation where they MUST attack the tank, or face the incredible negative consequences that follow. Consequences that can lose the fight... or the GAME. It's not that a smart or skilled player can't outsmart or outplay these mechanics - but that's no excuse for the lack of balance within. You don't look at a completely OP weapon in COD and say "Well, if you just use a rocket launcher to kill that enemy, then you don't have to worry. And if that person is dumb, you can run circles around them with a pistol." Yes, if you're very smart and build accordingly, you can negate the effects of *ONE* power from *ONE* enemy, and that's if they are not paying attention and have poor team synergy. By your standards, Darius and Garen are not super powerful, because people could easily invest in movement speed to outrun them and use spell vamp to heal back damage during a fight. No excuse. They're still stronger than necessary and require balancing to make them professionally acceptable. If you defend everything by saying "Well, yes, but you can completely rework how you play the game to negate that." then there will be *NO* such thing as a lack of balance for you, shy of dying at spawn.
+Dan Author If by "Well, yes, but you can completely rework how you play the game to negate that." you mean play smart and watch your positioning, the yes. I noticed you ignored my sole point. I'm not going to repeat it so go back and re-read it if you missed it. Team fights are a different thing all together. Too many different variables. I'm sure some team fights she'll wreck, and some team fights she'll get rek'd. That's just how the game goes.
2:00 Let me guess what happened at Riot. "WE NEED AN IDEA FOR A NAME OF THE W" Designer of Master Yi: "This will be... a harsh lesson". Everyone looks at him and applauds.
+Freemananana In what way? If it was an ult, this character would suck major dick and have no teamfight presence. I'd rather get hit with that E than a Blitzcrank pull. At least I can walk away from an Illaoi E.
+Freemananana There's plenty of ways to get out of her E. You can fight her, her tentacles, or just run under turret. Just make sure you don't get caught out with it.
I remember returning to league & this being one of the new champs. I would just get tentacle ass raped & die over and over and over because I had no clue what was even happening.
Personally, I just don't think this champion will be fun. Mostly, it's just that E is the definition of "no counterplay" or at least very little clear counterplay. Basically, fighting illaoi boils down to; don't get hit by e, and if you do, then too bad, have fun with your gray screen. You know who this reminds me of? Pre nerf veigar. And then already decided they didn't like that, so now they're making a new champion with a similar low counterplay mechanic, but this time they have mobility and tankiness, unlike a certain purple yordle. I'm not going to say it's OP necessarily, but it certainly won't be fun to play against. Once you get hit by her E, there's really nothing you can do to negate it, so regardless of what happens, you will take some serious punishment; I realize that there are ways to lessen the damage, but that's really a case of "if you don't play around it, then you die" and "if you do play around it, then you only lose half your health, at least you're not dead." Once Illaoi uses E, there's no way to win a fight, just ways to not lose quite as hard. Literally, in the counterplay tips, it said "pray to whatever gods you believe in that Illaoi is stupid and tunnel-visions, otherwise you're screwed."
+Snow Storm With her E you have 2 very clear options, Fight or Flight. They showed that pretty well in the spotlight. Darius ran out and only lost about 1/5th his hp, GP also stood his ground and hit Illaoi back removing the spirit faster.
+Kashloo Illu Using these examples of choreographed work for the movie. You aren't making much sense. That Darius, in reality, could probably have stayed in and that GP could have ran away? Crazy thoughts, I know.
why does blizzard keep making new champs for casuals and not pro players like myself, im so good at this game no one believes me because im stuck in bronze, pffft its obviously my bad teammates holding me back, i deserve diamond at least, anyone who disagrees with me i could proof im way better in a 1v1 nerds, gg
Had the chance to try her todayt. Hella fun. Also, I found a somewhat different way to use her E. You grab a soul, but since it retains the life of the Champ the moment it was taken, I accidentally started going for the actual body, which got condemned by our Vayne. When the main body flashed over the wall they got condemned on(Jungle, red team, red buff) with maybe, 3-4% health, the spirit was still there, so Vayne and I pummeled the spirit which still had the original health of the enemy. The damage, of course, got transferred, and the Irelia died. LMAO
+snocone 42 I've played her a few times, you need to be careful to stay with your tentacles, and E in teamfights, the future vessel doesn't often 'kill' the tentacles since his/her team does it for him/her (bronze mode) Or people can just be smart and let the vessel take those tentacles out, that'd be a good defensive thing
Illaoi adds nothing positive to the game in my opinion. Very few people enjoy playing her besides people that aren't mechanically great, and nobody enjoys playing against her.
Depends on what you mean by nerf. Gonna laugh if they do need it by such a minimal amount that it's nearly unnoticeable and you come back laughing. Have a good life
SunDragon Bro by nerf I mean nerf, they are not going to change what the ability does genius they're obviously going to need to change numbers Have a good life and see ya when they nerf it can't wait to laugh
***** I'm not "dead regardless" if morgana lands a stun, she could land a stun so far away from herself that she barely has time to hit me before it runs out this ability is basically a blitzcrank hook that you can do nothing against (at least you can flash after you get pulled by blitz) if this things hits you it's basically over specially lategame when 5 v 5 teamfights require your team to be as healthy as possible-
To counter her E, step forward and attack her. This will lower the timer on your soul, while also exposing you to her Q,W, the eighteen tentacles around you and her auto-aim R that will also kill your jungler as well as the Rift Herald
@@alex2005z I stopped playing this horrible game since then and can't recommend it enough. Just seeing my own comment instantly gives me a morale boost now.
She is such a bully and I love it, I was finding it hard to get into LOL. I didn't feel like any Champ was like my Champ. So years pass and friends keep bothering me to play. I decide to give it a go since Paragon my go to MObA was dead. :( . So I look over the Champs, see the same faces of Champs that interest me none. Then I look at the top of new Champs, and see some promising ones. Of them Is Illaoi, before even reading guides or tiers I go off her skills and decide. Sure looks like I can be a complete A Hole and buy her on impulse. Boy was i right. I now play LOL and enjoy it. Good on you guys for finally making a hero for me.
I don't get how people are complaining about her E. Is it that damn hard to dodge the tentacles or just kill 3 to remove it?? Why does it feel like Bronze everywhere.
Paul Reuss Yeah, luckely so far i haven't faced any decent Illaoi's. But once people get the build and playstyle right this champ is gonna be annoying as fuck. Just her e needs fixing really. I'm fine with the rest.
Vanix Gond the e got the potential to be even a strong ult. it deals so much dmg in lategame its ridiculous and the temtacle spawning is also very strong if it comes to late
+TheCip93 Didn't you watch the video? Illaoi's motto is "move on, or die". Basically means she fucks random guys and doesn't start any serious relationships, except for her god.
Mainly because people have to learn the champions when they first come out and cream their pants at the opportunity to be outraged. I still hate this champion more than teemo and every other champion because illaoi's "W" skill is extremely hard to deal with when you're playing trundle (or other melee champions with low health that relie on fast attack speed and life steal) Her W key ability may as well be a 2nd ultimate. Depending on what champion you pick you might be better off keeping a 1 mile radius between you and illaoi because she nukes harder than veigar, and has twice as much health as veigar. She might even match up to a mid game nasus. If you focus on a mobility build you can deal with her but it's still rediculous how overpowered she is especially late game. That's all.
No. Her tentacles place a set attack speed that only get increased by her ult when she ultra for a few seconds and they do a flat amount of dmg with ad scalings.
+Kayliean Give it some time, people will get use to her and she'll be fine. She might get some tweaks but no major changes will happen. She's strong, but not broken.
C'mon guys, she is so easy to outplay, just dodge her Q :D ... and back away from her when she uses her W c: ... emm, and don't let her land her E skillshot :| ... and kill her tentacles when she does land it! so that you are not a ve- oh, it has 12 sec cooldown and she can turn you into it again? and you are missing cs when you try to dodge and kill tentacles? errr ... umm yeah, and back the fuck away in teamfights so she cant smash your team into the ground. So basically ban her or leave the game. There. I told you she's easy to outplay :D
The Spartoiii Oh my god.... They didn't. At all. She's Sol. She's fucking Sol. So obnoxious OP and yet "We at Hi-Rez/Rito like her performance this season" -Bart 2015
Pardon my language, but what the fuck? Whos in charge of the names?!? This champions name is so hard to prenounce. P. S. I like the hentai references in this one ;D.
You forgot the most important thing about Illaoi. When you get a pentakill with her she says TENTAKILL afterwards.
well u don't have to stand and fight her directly if she ults I mean it's common sense illaoi ult = fight away from the area with tentacles
so what you are saying is just leave the fucking game.

Ok I'm just going to give up on waiting for Ao Shin...

+Giantdad Lives They have said multiple times that they scrapped the concept and it will probs be back in like a couple of years, YEARS.
+Giantdad Lives His coming out on jan or feb
+Death By Vodka they said 2015/2016 hope never dies
Death By Vodka lets be honest, ao shin was leaked YEARS ago, we have already waited for YEARS.
”or they die, that can happen too”

I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going
shimentakezo's words
That E seems to be ULT quality. That's the trouble.
Ikr
+Freemananana In what way? If it was an ult, this character would suck major dick and have no teamfight presence. I'd rather get hit with that E than a Blitzcrank pull. At least I can walk away from an Illaoi E.
+Freemananana why do so many people fear her 'e' so much, its a good skill but there are many ways around it.
+Freemananana There's plenty of ways to get out of her E. You can fight her, her tentacles, or just run under turret. Just make sure you don't get caught out with it.
+Jacob McEntire but still the E is a little op when compared to other champions E
I remember returning to league & this being one of the new champs. I would just get tentacle ass raped & die over and over and over because I had no clue what was even happening.
Selfish Eyes She was cancer at release. And she still is. Thank god she's barely picked.
Barely picked?! Get to higher elos where people almost have every single champ! I FUCKING HATE HER
Personally, I just don't think this champion will be fun. Mostly, it's just that E is the definition of "no counterplay" or at least very little clear counterplay. Basically, fighting illaoi boils down to; don't get hit by e, and if you do, then too bad, have fun with your gray screen. You know who this reminds me of? Pre nerf veigar. And then already decided they didn't like that, so now they're making a new champion with a similar low counterplay mechanic, but this time they have mobility and tankiness, unlike a certain purple yordle. I'm not going to say it's OP necessarily, but it certainly won't be fun to play against. Once you get hit by her E, there's really nothing you can do to negate it, so regardless of what happens, you will take some serious punishment; I realize that there are ways to lessen the damage, but that's really a case of "if you don't play around it, then you die" and "if you do play around it, then you only lose half your health, at least you're not dead." Once Illaoi uses E, there's no way to win a fight, just ways to not lose quite as hard. Literally, in the counterplay tips, it said "pray to whatever gods you believe in that Illaoi is stupid and tunnel-visions, otherwise you're screwed."
+Snow Storm With her E you have 2 very clear options, Fight or Flight. They showed that pretty well in the spotlight. Darius ran out and only lost about 1/5th his hp, GP also stood his ground and hit Illaoi back removing the spirit faster.
+Kashloo Illu Using these examples of choreographed work for the movie. You aren't making much sense. That Darius, in reality, could probably have stayed in and that GP could have ran away? Crazy thoughts, I know.
+Snow Storm I feel like Tryndamere could heavily counter her with his ult
+Snow Storm But Blitzcrank's grab isn't much different. If the enemy team is set up, you get hit you get wrecked. If it misses/you dodge, you live on.
+Midwinter Snow but if you happen to get hit in lane you can flash away. Once you get grabbed by her you cannot do anything to stop the damage

make it happen

Yes pls :D
Even rito knows that Darius is broken as ding dong BUT GRAVES CANT HAVE A CIGAR!!!!
lol...? These irrelevant Graves jokes ...
Danielle Marotel ikr :DD
+Patrikas Janaudis just stop with these jokes.... no one actually wants grave's cigar back, people just wanna keep the meme alive.
+Sarubotai
I never used the joke, but I actually want grave's cigar back. For many reason. It matters.
what is up with people with graves and a cigar
why does blizzard keep making new champs for casuals and not pro players like myself, im so good at this game no one believes me because im stuck in bronze, pffft its obviously my bad teammates holding me back, i deserve diamond at least, anyone who disagrees with me i could proof im way better in a 1v1 nerds, gg
+PwningFiles LOL
+vvvortic blizzard? u mean riot?
+vvvortic Blizzard? LOL. Fail. Goodbye.

Obviously, you didn't get the *joke*.

There was no clip of Star Guardian Lux being attacked by Illaoi's tentacles. Riot, you missed a chance there.
Mysterious Xion i Indeed, or Ashe Seeing as that’s her thing

TENTAKILL!
I was waiting to see how long it would take for someone to say that XD

Illaoi 1v5:
- Call an ambulance
- BUT NOT FOR ME
Release this on wild drift✨😌
I could see her as both a fantastic top laner and support. I can see some pretty good comps already where she'll make a fantastic asset.

Tentacle hentai
Had the chance to try her todayt. Hella fun.
Also, I found a somewhat different way to use her E. You grab a soul, but since it retains the life of the Champ the moment it was taken, I accidentally started going for the actual body, which got condemned by our Vayne. When the main body flashed over the wall they got condemned on(Jungle, red team, red buff) with maybe, 3-4% health, the spirit was still there, so Vayne and I pummeled the spirit which still had the original health of the enemy. The damage, of course, got transferred, and the Irelia died. LMAO
I mean, I understand the whole test if will idea and I like it. But if almost seems like her e is more influential than her ult.
Any under gold would agree
SunDragon Bro
Um k.
her ult spwans tentacle's and your w has reduced time so you can smack them to death.your ult is more influental than a test
she makes me fear for my butt safety
Why is this recommended to me a year after I quit league
That E is gonna be broken beyond belief
+snocone 42 I've played her a few times, you need to be careful to stay with your tentacles, and E in teamfights, the future vessel doesn't often 'kill' the tentacles since his/her team does it for him/her (bronze mode) Or people can just be smart and let the vessel take those tentacles out, that'd be a good defensive thing
+snocone 42 its actually kinda hard to hit
I've never had so much fun since season 3. Love this champion!

+Oscar Aguilar Well it is NA

NA ult
best out NA

I ve seen enough... to know..
Riot Dude 1: _Let's make a new hero, Any ideas?_
Riot Dude 2: *Ever heard of Hentai?*
Riot Dude 1: _HENTAI IT IS_
Illaoi adds nothing positive to the game in my opinion. Very few people enjoy playing her besides people that aren't mechanically great, and nobody enjoys playing against her.
2:25 THERE IT IS THE ONE ABILITY THAT WILL MAKE HER BROKEN CALLING IT NOW
For Bronzies yes it will
SunDragon Bro I'll come back to this post when they nerf it and I'll laugh my ass off
Depends on what you mean by nerf. Gonna laugh if they do need it by such a minimal amount that it's nearly unnoticeable and you come back laughing. Have a good life
SunDragon Bro by nerf I mean nerf, they are not going to change what the ability does genius they're obviously going to need to change numbers
Have a good life and see ya when they nerf it
can't wait to laugh
***** I'm not "dead regardless" if morgana lands a stun, she could land a stun so far away from herself that she barely has time to hit me before it runs out
this ability is basically a blitzcrank hook that you can do nothing against (at least you can flash after you get pulled by blitz)
if this things hits you it's basically over specially lategame when 5 v 5 teamfights require your team to be as healthy as possible-
To counter her E, step forward and attack her. This will lower the timer on your soul, while also exposing you to her Q,W, the eighteen tentacles around you and her auto-aim R that will also kill your jungler as well as the Rift Herald
But thats to much counterplay, so we removed that
@@alex2005z I stopped playing this horrible game since then and can't recommend it enough. Just seeing my own comment instantly gives me a morale boost now.
She is such a bully and I love it, I was finding it hard to get into LOL. I didn't feel like any Champ was like my Champ. So years pass and friends keep bothering me to play. I decide to give it a go since Paragon my go to MObA was dead. :( . So I look over the Champs, see the same faces of Champs that interest me none. Then I look at the top of new Champs, and see some promising ones. Of them Is Illaoi, before even reading guides or tiers I go off her skills and decide. Sure looks like I can be a complete A Hole and buy her on impulse. Boy was i right. I now play LOL and enjoy it. Good on you guys for finally making a hero for me.
her e plays like an ultimate ability. pretty amazing
Just played as her, I dominated the enemy team. She is so powerful, I love it.
More like TENTAKILLS EVERYWHERE!
I just came here so i can make sure I'm saying her name correctly not saying it as IYAOI lmao
Well 1st August 2022 is late the find out about Illaoi but better late than never, They just announced Illaoi in Project L and i might main her
This champion reminds me of Yogg-Saron.
0:20 what's going on with her arms lol
i YAOI champion spotlight
the moment u realise ur first
There is something so badass about a huge buff female champ, I love her!
I don't get how people are complaining about her E. Is it that damn hard to dodge the tentacles or just kill 3 to remove it?? Why does it feel like Bronze everywhere.
+Bladeshamer9 it isn't hard. But it does keep you from last hitting creeps. And that's why this 'mini-game' is so damn annoying.
+Vanix Gond and it can deal shit ton of dmg if used correctly
Paul Reuss Yeah, luckely so far i haven't faced any decent Illaoi's. But once people get the build and playstyle right this champ is gonna be annoying as fuck. Just her e needs fixing really. I'm fine with the rest.
Vanix Gond the e got the potential to be even a strong ult. it deals so much dmg in lategame its ridiculous and the temtacle spawning is also very strong if it comes to late
If they nerf illaois E then she becomes a complete shit. She just has too many weakness and very few strenght..
I mained Illaoi, never have I been so overpowered in LoL
Braum's wife.
You mean Illaoi's wife.
+Jeffrey Zom I believe they meant Braum is Illaoi's wife xD
+TheCip93 GP's Ex
+Jeffrey Zom Nonono. Illaoi's wife is Braum. End of story.
+TheCip93
Didn't you watch the video?
Illaoi's motto is "move on, or die".
Basically means she fucks random guys and doesn't start any serious relationships, except for her god.
amazing vid as usual
Where's Phreak?

Sooo Kawaii no its not

Every time a new champ comes out, LoL players have to ask for a nerf... Why?
Mainly because people have to learn the champions when they first come out and cream their pants at the opportunity to be outraged. I still hate this champion more than teemo and every other champion because illaoi's "W" skill is extremely hard to deal with when you're playing trundle (or other melee champions with low health that relie on fast attack speed and life steal)
Her W key ability may as well be a 2nd ultimate. Depending on what champion you pick you might be better off keeping a 1 mile radius between you and illaoi because she nukes harder than veigar, and has twice as much health as veigar. She might even match up to a mid game nasus. If you focus on a mobility build you can deal with her but it's still rediculous how overpowered she is especially late game. That's all.
"Just... tentacles... everywhere.. all over the place..." lmao
That last dance scene actually looked ok
A champion that's actually balanced on release? wtf.
Do tentacles crit? Attack speed illaoi??
+Jimmy Hernandez Since they work from her w not her aa that seems pretty useless
Nah.
+Jimmy Hernandez They have a wind-up speed that can only be reduced by her R, from the rest of the time cannot be modified, so no... no AS Illaoi.
No. Her tentacles place a set attack speed that only get increased by her ult when she ultra for a few seconds and they do a flat amount of dmg with ad scalings.
Dunk Master Illaoi RITO PLZ!!!!
+Exalindor1 I was about to say the same thing.
awesome champ. hilariously fun to play
schaut euch das neue LoL-Video auf meinem Kanal an :D ist echt cool geworden. Es kommt um 18:00
congratz riot, this is by far the most broken champion you've released to date
Yup !
+Kayliean Give it some time, people will get use to her and she'll be fine.
She might get some tweaks but no major changes will happen. She's strong, but not broken.
+Kayliean next to ekko i guess :v
It's obvious you guys haven't played in beta or not even S2...
InfinityMaster its worse on that season like the ap yi
Pls Rito make an Illaoi skin with the title: Hentai Nightmare, adding you know, those things that are on a Hentai Nightmare :3

+raphael koulenovitch didn't sound like Phreak honestly
im so ready for the hentai jokes,bring it in boys.
+Pillows Prophet Just dont play this champ against Annie, you will be put on a list...i can feel it
+Theosis10 good one,dont play this champ against lucian,ekko or karma because its racist.
+Pillows Prophet play her against Syndra, because barriers exist to be broken ;)
C'mon guys, she is so easy to outplay, just dodge her Q :D
... and back away from her when she uses her W c:
... emm, and don't let her land her E skillshot :|
... and kill her tentacles when she does land it! so that you are not a ve- oh, it has 12 sec cooldown and she can turn you into it again? and you are missing cs when you try to dodge and kill tentacles? errr
... umm yeah, and back the fuck away in teamfights so she cant smash your team into the ground.
So basically ban her or leave the game. There. I told you she's easy to outplay :D
+Toasty Toast You forgot about the walls. The walls have eyes.
+Gavin Mahoney this is like release Bellona...
The Spartoiii No.... That's an understatement. This is release Guan. This is release Nem. This is hell.
+Gavin Mahoney did they nerf her at all?
The Spartoiii Oh my god.... They didn't. At all. She's Sol. She's fucking Sol. So obnoxious OP and yet "We at Hi-Rez/Rito like her performance this season" -Bart 2015
1:54 phreak did the rock reference. Laying the smackadown on his opponents.
Pardon my language, but what the fuck? Whos in charge of the names?!? This champions name is so hard to prenounce. P. S. I like the hentai references in this one ;D.
Need to bring her to wild rift
I'm maining her!!
phreak did it again, those PUNS
How can anyone think that ult is balanced. A champ with like 2 dmg items deletes a whole team.
don't get hit by it? she has 0 mobility and it has less radius than a malph ult.
When is she coming out?
+Adrian Krysztal Never .---------------.
probably tomorrow
11/25 if no delay
;-;
:)
Who main illaoi?
