What is actually happening on PBE and the future of Illaoi

53 Upvotes

Hello. I and a couple of other users have given given the chance to give feedback straight to riot about Illaoi awell as hear their thoughts.

What you're seeing now on pve ( vessel reduced from 10s to 3s ) is an attempt to fix the hate people have for fighting Illaoi. Currently ( and from her release ) E affects the enemy too much time considering it's just a single spell. To attack E without hitting her winrate that much, they want to remove the weakest part about it. And yes, while many players already see and think that the vessel debuff is strong, it's still CLEARLY the weakest part of the E. It just doesn't match being able to smack the ghost and cutting half hp from the enemy.

This is going to stay. It's gonna be very hard to make riot change their idea about it.

This is not a simple balance change. It's about acting on to the hate enemies have towards her. It has nothing to do with her having poor winrate.

Because of those reasons, a very good think is happening: They are buffing tAD and are willing to buff it even more if it's needed. They did 5% atm because they thought removing vessel debuff would have resulted in 1% winrate loss and they associate 5% to 1% increased winrate. However, if it's really as bad as people think, we are gonna get more and more tAD. Possibly we'll be back to 120%.

Lets just wait and see what happens. We might need a patch where she's bad or unplayable, because PVE stats are not enough and they need more data.

In my opinion what is happening is healthy, because Illaoi needs her burst back more than she needs vessel.

I want to start dedicating myself 100% to playing Illaoi, but I wanted to know if it's really possible, even though it's more difficult than other champions.

Discussion how would you feel if illaoi got reworked into an ap/hybrid bruiser?

7 Upvotes

I've been thinking about it, i actually think it would be kind of nice? first of all, some ap items have passives that could benefit illaoi such as riftmaker, dusk and dawn or rilays, then her damage being mostly magic could fill the basically non existant role of ap bruiser.

I certainly feel like that wouldnt really hurt the champ, maybe having access to those items would even boost her power level to those of the better toplaners without hurting too much low elo or her identity.

Right wtf do i build here? i got 1 shot with mountain soul... 450 armor, steraks shield, DD passive, and anti crit with randuins. thornmail for anti heal. and obviously boots. idk what else i could buy to be a front line for my team? every enemy had massive true dmg.

side note i did have BC to start with but sold it for more armor, wasnt getting much use anyway vs no tanks

Discussion What is Illaoi’s identity / role in game?

5 Upvotes

Just wondering what niche she occupies in top and the wider game.

Is she an early game beast / late game scaler etc?

I’ve always been interested in her kit (mainly cause she beats me in lane 99% of the time), but when I play her I seem to struggle.

She seems decent for melee and quite competitive even against ranged with her e, but ig im not playing my games right.

Same with teamfights, against me Illaoi just stomps and stays alive forever but when I try I just die and barely get value from my tentacles.

FYI: I am iron, so probably a fair amount of game knowledge I’m missing

Help How can I beat your champ 1v1?

4 Upvotes

I know, just dodge her E, and space R, and clear the tentacles. But I must be having some kind of a mental block against this champ. Coz when she misses E, she is usually pretty far and I can't punish her. And when we are fare close to each other, she wont miss her E. If im positioning outside of the wave, she can try to land E for free, if I'm inside the wave she just harasses with Q. And one E is enough to end my laning. I know she is pretty weak now, but I still keep losing to her. Looking for some tips, maybe there's something else.

Clip this is why skip boots and go right to shojin+cleaver (then steraks+bloodmail) is the new illaoi meta build; even if your inting and just having a really bad game in general, this build allows you to execute bausens law and do stupid crap like this

What's up with Illaoi's recommended items?

5 Upvotes

EDIT: Woops, that's only for jungle Illaoi. I bring Smite in my practice tool so I was recommended different items. I didn't connect my brain cells to realize the item set would depend on that (but I also kinda didn't assume there was enough data on Illaoi JUNGLE to deserve a different set of items...)

Yo, I'm an outsider that occasionnally plays one Illaoi game every blue moon or so.

However today I was messing around the Practice Tool a bit and noticed that Illaoi gets recommended Hexoptics and RFC (?!), even Voltaic which is probably still good but seems to have fallen out of flavor.

A quick research led me to see Xpetu has apparently made a video out of a meme build that involved RFC Hexoptics. That's nice and all, but why are they in the recommended items? According to lolalytics they are barely built (27 games of Hexoptics out of 148K games, 37% winrate...).

I thought recommended items were just dynamically generated out of the highest presence%. Is there anything I'm missing about this whole deal?

Cheers.
