// ABOUT ME //
Hi! I'm Petu and the purpose of my TH-cam channel is to share my passion for League of Legends. I've climbed to Challenger 1200 LP on EUW and EUNE by playing Shen. I am currently studying Applied Mathematics and Computer Science in Finland. In my spare time, I enjoy running, basketball and disc golf. Thanks for reading this far!

man i looked that player up and you are just straight up lying about the elo of this game
1) That player was Master S11 and D1 right now: euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=Roiis%20Royce
2) You left 5 comments on this video :DDDD
3) Git Gud
Bro you do know this video was released 4 months ago right? And it was still S11 at that time. Like I don't know what you are on about, but check first before you comment my guy.
the classical pin of shame, you just love to see it huh
@@The-Akkaro honestly I respect that he pinned it it takes a lot of guts to pin someone who called you out on your bullshit.
@@skoodlemoose you left 5 different cheeto dust covered comments on 1 video explaining to everyone that you live in a different reality from the rest of us, and then act confused when you get roasted by the community. You definitely fantasized being applauded by everyone for your undeniable brilliance lmao reality hits different huh.
Im stuck on drawing the hitbox, by the time i tab and open ms paint, im hit by the q.
I found a faster alternative by using the phones camera and the edit function to draw the hitbox however its still not fast enough

Me, a jungle otp Nunu: ok sounds interesting let's still watch it
same im a jungle main but im staying here for the perpendicular movement commands
They need to make a quick 30-40 second «how to beat illaoi» video so we junglers can send it to champ select chat to our top laners when enemy team locks in illaoi xD
me, as a Wukong and Zac player: *it's free real estate*
honestly this is almost more useful for junglers than top laners, jungle ganks giving illoai free kills is probly 50% of her strength lmao.
taric support main here, "hmm yes" *holding tea with foot* LMFAO
Me: Illaoi is shit champ and need to be nerfed
xPetu: Perpendicular vector
pfp checks out
She doesn’t need to be nerfed. She also is one of the most unviable champ ever, except in shit tier elo
@@Crisyx91 ur right she doesn't deserve to be nerfed...she deserves to be yeeted from the game :D
(jk btw)
@@Crisyx91 lol I haven't played for a while but I remember even in silver Illaoi was useless in all my games. Jumps in and gets killed 10/10 times
@@AMediumSizedKodiak it's called bad design, extremely annoying in lane, shit hitboxes but outside lane she's completely useless
Pro tipp: Don't hit the tenctacles while you are still affected by illaoi e, the next one will spawn and just hit you again. Fuck the 5 gold. You missed two minions because of that which are worth more gold. Feel free however to just hit them when you are not affected or fighting illaio.
Actually true, never thought about this
Let's say I played some Illaoi games to think about it
@@Tryse100 "some"
*vietnam flashbacks*
What about the increased risk then of getting hit with multiple tentacles if you dont remove them? Or is the solution simply just to also dodge the Q, or dodge the game? :P
It’s always more dangerous to have alive tentacle around because the delay in slam is reduced due to not needing to spawn a tentacle first
Can petu make “how to beat each champion“ series?it will be great!
"dodge their spells or dodge the game"
casually makes 150+ videos on beating every champion
@@moeg.2068 EP.142 :So yes now we are playing on Shen against a Yuumi. Yes as you might've taught this lane is a turbo ez stomp and you should never lose it.
I second this. And maybe start with 200+ years champions first
I believe this may be the new series he has been talking about
Somehow you’ve gone from the “good at Shen” guy to my favorite League content creator. Also this video is incredibly useful. I’ve always had problems against Illaoi in the top lane.
She ult, You flee
As a Illaoi main since S6, that's the only tip I can give...
also dodge her E and she insta loses 50% of her damage output
Or pick Mordekaiser and ult her back
This video is a threat xd
@@Tiagocf2 did you forgot she max it then spam that e
@@aeroanosupremo rookies illaois would fall for it, Main illaois would legit just E the mords frome distance and poke, evan if you ult them they Will never use the E after Morderkaiser ults. It's just simple
Thanks to xPetu, now I can tell all my Gold 2 friends that illaoi's easy to beat and they're bad, without even leaving Silver 4
How can your friends be g2 and think Illaoi is hard to beat
@@andrewwoods564 Because g2 is still low elo
@@Lamorakc yeah but people still know a thing or two
@@andrewwoods564 A thing or two sure but perma tilting off winnable lane because they don't know the matchip ID super common still, especially vs illaoi
@@Lamorakc yea true it happens to me too cus im bad
I don't feel like people tend to find the matchup against illaoi unplayable. I feel that -- and watching this gameplay kind of reinforces this -- its just a frustrating matchup, because in ORDER to win, you have to put in far more work than illaoi does in every fight.
I'd call it a high maintenance lane. You have to be on your toes the ENTIRE time.
It's actually really helpful to hear your honest opinions playing shen, like when you missed the ultimate onto twitch. It's intriguing to hear your mindset and actions in a game and what that may mean for possible consequences
true, this only works cause he is playing shen and that champ is already super beefy and good at 1v1s.
Dodging e and being unpredictable is key to win vs illaoi, that's why playing champs that have some sort of movespeed steroid in combat or just running ghost is invaluable to allow you to be more unpredictable, I play mostly trundle and singed top so I really like the illaoi matchup because of that
Singed vs illaoi is so free
@@vicokonkwo7776 you didn't have to make me feel worse lol
I gotta say
As an illaoi main I agree
@@sheng505 or you can read the champions kit understand their wincons in lane amd trading and just counteract it...
@@vicokonkwo7776 I remember when I started playing singed I used to suck in matchups like darius and illaoi because I lacked practice, but now if I see a darius or an illaoi I have a blast, baiting darius pull/ illaoi e and dodging darius q/illaoi's whole kit is extremely satisfying and one of the reason I like playing singed so much, spped can be so versatile in so many situations and can make it so that you can dodge things that most people would have a really hard time avoiding like morgana bindings, dodging is a way of life, it's so simple but so useful, I'm not a high elo player and quit ranked a while ago, but if you want to climb out of low elo, learn how to dodge, it will make things a heck of a lot easier
The Illaoi matchup depends on if your champ can take the chip dmg from the E as you're walking out or not, if you can take it then you'll walk out farm the 2/3 tentacles, take your time to scale and dominate the lane, if you can't take the chip dmg then she'll destroy you and force backs over and over until you loose your tower/get tower dived
in low elo maybe, in d1 i beat people with illaoi by timing my q with their autos, and aggressively trading with w+ grasp when they want to cs. Works well even against range champs, illaoi doesnt lose lane to basically any champ in the game if she's played correctly
@@skoodlemoose do you think that's revolutionary?
@@skoodlemoosenah bro maybe they walk up too much for your w. Because illaoi excels at keeping pressure in a controlled area. But she can't do anything else. So she needs to taamfights which is where she will get demolished cuz she relies on sustain and not tankiness so she will get focused and die first in tf. And if she splits and she gets shit on hard by just baiting her r and then grouping on her. Overrated dude
@@skoodlemooseQueen of the top lane
@@skoodlemoose yh at most you can go even and still come out with the ability to 2v1 at the least
20:52 absolutely FORBIDDEN technique right there
Lmaooo
22:58 I wish Petu would hold my hand when Illaoi ults me
Pahahah xD. ITS OK GUYS ITS OKÖY
I wish petu would hold my hand every time I start solo q
Illaoi is preaching the lesson of movement
She literally announces her weakness
I like that Shen is the one explaining moves by Illaoi with graphs and mathematical terms.
Ah Petu, I've been addicted to your content for a long time and I don't even know how or why. I quit playing league a few months ago and was a botlane main (5 years support main and 5 years adc main). It's arguable that I have no reason to like your content so much, but I do. You're the best creator and I can only be here by your side while you grow and watch other people join the Dojo. Keep being great and spreading positivity!
Love from Portugal ❤
So glad I found your channel, you really inspiring me to pick up shen again. Love your content man
League devs are into feet, Petu just confirmed it
Very well done video xpetu. Extremely informative and entertaining at the same time! Basically your guide to beat illaoi is by using algebra and right-click mechanics. Also, you explained it so clearly that it was easy to understand. Best part is this guide does apply to any other top laners vs illaois as well. Thanks xpetu.
Seriously, I do think this is one of the best guide for LOL that I have ever seen.
Always extremely high quality edits from xPetu. Loving the content.
I hope you can make more videos likes this because the explanation is simple yet detailed. It helps old players to come back and enjoy the game again. This is amazing!
Thank you so much for this TURBO educational gameplay TECHNOLOGY, very useful!
It's the 13rd second this viedio is out and already I'm having a blast in the fist sec!!
13th* thirteenth
just the sheer positivity in your voice makes me feel like I can do better. great video btw, awesome introduction and then also showing the real application. Great vid!
Omg I love machup videos! More please, vs GP would be nice! Thanks man! 👏👏👏
This removes you from fights too much especially if it's a team fight. The enemy team can play into her ultimate too well.
Illaoi is like fighting a Dark Souls boss while trying to PvP 2 other people. Problem is when they use the boss mechanics against you. You're great at dodging, but they use that to attack in the direction you'll go. Solo she's fine ("fine"), but a good pairing with her is frustrating. They can use your skill against you. Like a player leading you into bullets if you think you're dodging one to only walk into another. Which she has multiple tentacles that can do that without having another player.
in low elo true but in high elo everyone knows to back up and then shes useless- whereas other toplaners (for ex shen haha) have much more consistent contributions. Hers rely on your blunders while other top laners contribute no matter what the other teams top laner does.
@jonathanbauer2988 She's op in low elo, useless in high elo, playing as illaoi is annoying, and laning against illaoi is annoying. She's just overall a pesky champion.
To be fair I am biased because I wasted blue essence buying illaoi and now I regret it. Now I'm playing as ziggs which is just as annoying but at least he's fun to play
@@ZverseZyoure just bad, i first timed illaoi in ranked and i go 10/0 every game and take their inhib at 20 min every game and win every teamfight. that champion is just beyond disgusting
@@lucaarama2975 trust me in higher elos people will just save their flash or dashes to run away when she ults
In higher elos they also do everything to avoid her E, and without E and R she isn’t even really a champion
@@ZverseZ so to beat her you just need your whole team to use flash for her 30 second cooldown ult. dont talk to me about higher elo kid i am emerald and u are plat
The only reason why I keep playing shen is that xpetu exists.
I learnt how to beat illaoe from her herself. "Move!"
HAHA true it’s so hilarious, she literally tells you how to counter her 🤣
"you will spend the next half an hour to understand how to beat illaoi" me as a ranged support main. yea sure i would like to learn how
@27:54 unbelievable wordplay after the kill there, could not have said it better :D , whole video worth watching just for that :D
Quick tip: learn Riven and dodge everything, bcs you can.
Auto attackers: Dodge what?
This, so much. I main Illaoi and Riven is a must-ban for me
@@zealotoftheorchard9853 the game
Man this is legit best lol guide I've seen to day, 9/10 would recommend
I absolutely love the detailed description of get the eff out of the way. Bravo sir.
One of the best ways to learn how to beat Illaoi is to also play her. If you understand when she can get a kill and what prevents you from killing your opponent you have a huge advantage over other players. I've mained her and Shen and he's my first counterpick into her everytime.
pls keep yourself alive
Did that with Sett. I now realize how wrong I was. He is way more broken than I thought.
i played illaoi and im really bad and still win every time.
Actually... as someone who played Illaoi I can tell you that the most frustrating thing is when players walk away from their ghost, but stand in the range of the ability. Then you have to decide- do you follow them or do you try to deal damage to the spirit? If you decide to hit their spirit, they just leave the spell, but if you choose to follow them, they stay and you don't do much damage.
oh no i feel so bad for u, you can choose to take free damage and complete lane control by hitting spirit or u can chase them if they have no where to go, such a hard decision, diddums
@@JamBadguy Nowehre to go? oh yeah... you totally can't just walk away :D you are trapped in the spell, I forgot :O
I feel bad for your brain and existence
@@Darkry if you get out of the spell it spawns 3 tentacles which can still damage you; you get slowed for leaving the spell; you lose CS because you have to walk away from your wave. Are you stupid man?
@@Darkryyeah you can totally walk away from lane gold and xp and be chased by tentacles for 15 seconds meanwhile illaois E is back and you cant walk up to the wave, also she can just W you because she has 4 tentacles around you or if you stay and break them you lose an extra 15 seconds of gold and xp. braindead illaoi player
@Darkry Always hit the spirit, it will at least deal them a lot of damage if they stay in range or a chance to chase them when they got out of it. Either way it's a win win and your 3rd skill is already cooled down. Then do it again and again, for me 3rd skill is the most important skill of Illaoi in her arsenal.
The first 5 and half minutes of this video is one of the best things I've seen on yt in a long time! 👌👌👌

Bro ive been watching you for a few days now and you've become one of my fav youtubers. Like fr nothing better than your laugh and dry af humor sometimes
Much love
The thing about illaoi is that you have to dodge everything twice and you still might lose, there’s no other champ that commands that kind of respect in the lane phase. That’s in contrast to yasuo and irelia where even if they miss everything they still win because they managed right click you🙃
Fiora: Counter her by trying to hide her vitals on a wall
Darius: Counter him by staying near him when he Q
Aatrox: Counter by buying Brumble Vest
Illaoi: learn to walk.
As simple as that, just learn to walk.
Just dodge goes for every skill shot in the game though, yet people still frequently land them despite their opponents just having to dodge.
@@sebastianlaplume461 because every skill has different hiboxes and cast animations/speed, making some more easily to dodge. Illaoi just so happens to have a terrible hitbox and a absurdly long cast animation
@@archondarc she's also very item reliant
@@archondarc I’m sorry but if people can land max range thresh hooks regularly, landing illaoi Q should be incredibly easy with any amount of game sense, it’s nearly identical to morde Q, just slightly bigger, and more damaging with an ever so slightly longer cast time. Plus odds are your opponent are trying to land things on you at the same time (obviously auto attackers don’t have this problem) but that gives illaoi very large windows to wallop a Q onto someone’s forehead when they and trade.
@@sebastianlaplume461 tbh it's pretty difficult to land a full range thresh Q. I feel like a sniper trying to land those things and once I've calculated for wind resistance and drop off, a bloody minion steps in front of me x-x every. Single. Time.
Your videos are always so easy to watch
First video i ever watch on this channel but well done man 👍 a perfect simple guide
For me, what makes the Illoai matchup so difficult is his pushing power. Yes, you can not get killed, but you are almost always giving away first tower and plates.
if you dodge her e, you take a significant part of her damage out of the equation for like 8 seconds, in which then you can beat "her" ass
The moment she misses her E you just go in and dodge the Q that will follow. From that point her only damage is W. She's a very stupid and slow champion and very easy to beat and I'm saying this as a Silver player who's not even a top main. When I get filled top vs Illaoi, I just tell my jungle not to come and I do everything by myself.
@@t3chn0dr0n3 That's the problem, you're not a top main. None of my friends are top mains and they say exactly the same thing and don't understand how broken this champ is into certain matchups. However, top mains of league all agree with other top mains that Illaoi is so stupid. Your champion pool probably happens to have champs with any sort of dashes or range that instantly counter illaoi. Most top champs do not have that luxury. I've picked up fiora recently and damn illaoi is the easiest matchup because of her W and Q. However, playing a Garen, Nasus, Sett, Darius, etc. into illaoi is almost impossible because you have to have perfect movement to dodge, you can never all in her because her e is always up. If she has her ult up you can't engage because you instantly die without the possibility of disengaging unless you have flash which has a 6 times longer cooldown than her ult. She is ungankable, so the only way to play her with those champs are by giving up all turret plates, first turret, and being down 50 CS. Yes, most champs outscale her, but then your team flames you even if you have not died because you lost your turret and are down so much CS. Even if you get ganks pre 6 and are 4-0 you can't 1 v 1 her or 2 v 1 her post 6. It's an impossible matchup unless you're diamond+ for champs with no mobility so she is always a permaban for the champs I mentioned above.
If anyone says Illaoi is easy to play against and only plays champs with range or a dash in their kit, that is the moment I stop listening because yes she's easy into several matchups, but impossible into a lot of other matchups.
@@Rindiculousfun Something else i've noticed. I've never seen Illaoi be picked before the enemy top laner, she's always a counter pick to slow, immobile top laners.
@@Anekai-BR the fact is that against a slow immobile toplaner there are far better counterpicks
Sett, Fiora, vayne, gnar
+ you can dodge everything she has by just walking, no need for a dash
13:33 " You should be looking at other lane even during combat "
Scary
hello petu! great video once again, much love. Your content really helped me cope through a dark time and your comforting reply at that time added to the healing process. Thank you,
Glad I found your channel . Great video man. Gonna check your other videos too
Holy shiet, I'm often facing acusation that Shen is a noob champ. I always knew that they are mistaken. However after that gameplay I know one thing. I'm not even using full potential of that champion.
Usually I just play well my lane and support my team. Sometimes I'm incredible impactful with my ultimate and wining TF.
However xPetu shows the true power of that champion. For example that TF in dragon pit with Reksai (though Reksai played it also perfectly).
So yeah, kit of Shens is quite easy to understand and use but it's incredbile hard to use correctly!
I'm really amazed how you played that game. Seriously u nailed it!
P.S
Miss your vids, hope u r alright
Thank you for your shen lessons xPetu, I just won 20 games against illaoi and passed my geometry exams
This guy and solarbacca, my favorite league streamers out there, both pretty chill and are so educational about the game. People like you deserve to be more recognized
I am a Gangplank newbie and I fully agree
This is an awesome video! For me, it comes at a time where I already understand it's concepts. My boyfriend is just getting into league, though, so he will never have to struggle to overcome illaoi like I did. He can just watch this video!
Never before have I heard such an elegant way of telling people, just leave. Don't fight an ulting illaoi. It's that simple and you explained it so elegantly. Thank you, sincerely an illaoi/Shen player
It's beautiful. But I think it doesn't solve most people's problems with playing against Illaoi, which is it's really frustrating because you have to spend so much time of the game just dodging her. And then tour team just stays in the skills and get mad.
20:55 Xpetu does the only flash that matters
This is actually really informative thank you so much mr shen technology enjoyer
thank you for years of your service to teaching us noobs how to play league / shen / toplane. One of my favorite
teachers/ coaches.
Where would Shen be without you ! You're Such an awesome legend dude :D No one will ever forget you
one people realize they can actually run away from you, you realize that illaoi is kinda trash. she has no hard CC yet requires people to be close to her, and even in that case, all her damage comes from super slow, easily avoided skill shots.
She's one of the weakest champs in the game atm...
Until she press r and you can't se the tentacles anymore
@@simedinson984 her ult animation is quite long though, so plenty of time to just walk away
@@cringeyusername7459 the tentacle hitboxes get invis and hits fast af
@@simedinson984 but tentacle can't walk right? So, just walk away.
Petu i admire a lot your mental.
Aside of all the game mechanichs and technologee your mental is one of the things i would like to have the most
F-yeah, I did not recall that you did this.
but I beat an illaoi with Shen. you are gettting in my passive knowledge! :D
Huge respect for the Illaoi mains that stick to her even if people call her trash. Her character is just so cool. A priestess that tests her opponents by ripping their souls out and beating the shit out of it. Amazing and simply primal.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 👍👍👍
you can not be serious
@@lucaarama2975 illaoi is an interestingly designed champ. I like her style.
Hey Petu! Do you already have some videos about Fiora, Darius or Camille matches? They really are my weakpoint, and I don't know how to actually overcome those matchups. Thanks again for the content, it really helps ^^
Video of Petu playing nothing but Fiora to better understand the skill matchup against her:
th-cam.com/video/2Tenl48ZClw/w-d-xo.html
Regular gameplay as Shen vs Fiora matchup (timestamp 1:18:40):
th-cam.com/video/umh7oDsBa1Y/w-d-xo.html
Darius matchup from a couple years ago. Builds have changed, the matchup is the same:
th-cam.com/video/eDyTE191ZMg/w-d-xo.html
Sort of meme short video of petu winning a level 3 skirmish against Camille without ignite (notice how he plays around abilities/times his AA block + aggression to punish CD's):
th-cam.com/video/NpxGsjowcxM/w-d-xo.html
He also played Camille a lot a year ago during his no-Shen series, so you can watch those videos to learn what things Camille players are looking for early. Just scroll down his video catalogue a tiny bit and you'll see Camille in the thumbnails of the vids.
You could learn a lot by viewing some VODS from shending help (I overcame the Camile matchup using Petu's and Shending videos, Darius is a bit tricky yet for me XD) for these matchups but NGL it would be awesome if Petu did this as a series
I main both fiora and shen so I can tell you a little bit about the match up.
Pre lvl 3 trades will always be in favor of fiora, unless she misses her w. it doesnt matter if her w hits you with or without your taunt on it, the attack speed slow will make it impossible for you to win the trade. Always make sure not to get hit by her w or else just retreat. only taunt her if you are close to her, so she'll have less time to react. Ideally you wanna taunt to get behind her to also minimize the chance of getting stunned even if she parries your e. Other then that, learn how to position the minion wave and to stop her from hitting the vitals. Once you have enough gold, immediately recall and buy bramble vest. If you can get it before fiora reaches level 6,you will always win the trades
Darius is easy just don't get hit by the outside of his Q that's kind of it if he hits you he wins if he doesn't you win. If you are able to W his W you take almost no damage.
holy shit you are so calm and logical. I would have never have thought to do a lot of the things that you do on this champ. I love playing shen but i have learned so much and it's only been half way through the game. I never would have thought to play patiently during team fights, to use Q before flashing, ulting before an ally starts a fight so you're there faster. Even redemption being a decent item on shen, never would have guessed.
I love the passion you put into speaking, i feel your inner flame, you are one of my favorite youtubers from this point on, i am so happy i discovered your Channel. This is the 3rd video i'm watching, thank you for making me realise the Power Of Akshan !
not even a top laner but i cant click away cuz this mans voice is too nice
"illaoi is too strong"
This video: just move right or left lol
thank you so much, i loved the explanations, i will follow ur work. Keep it up :)
Illaoi is a little like Darius in the fact that once you know that the secret is *not to fight her on her terms* you just win and there's nothing that they can really do with them being immobile juggernauts. It's not even that hard to pull off in either case - just be patient and learn when flight is better than fight.
except now she just gets hullbreaker and she doesn't have to fight you. Instant clearing wave with q and you get fucked regardless of if you fight or not
instructions unclear - tried this and i kept dying before i could even finish opening paint to draw the hitbox
loved the video, good job man
ty very much! as a illaoi main i will keep this in mind
You actually shouldn't even walk out of his E range in early game when you got hit by his E. Pre level 6 Illaoi doesn't do enough damage to you or kill the spirit, when you got caught with his E, if you know where the jungle is, and you know that your all in is stronger than his, if the wave state is in your favor (For example, if you are slow pushing at him, or the minion wave is not that big etc...), just run at him with your full combo for an all in while trying to dodge his Q like how xPetu described. He will usually back off because you out damage his E combo. Running out of his E is problematic because you might lose experience, which is a huge deal early game as a top laner. If he doesn't kill the spirit (which he can't do because he doesn't have damage pre level 6), you wouldn't even get slowed and tentacles wouldn't even spawn and hit you. If you missed exp, then he will definitely bully you with the exp advantage and level power spike. When you run back to cancel his E, good Illaoi will walk up and try to push you off the wave, potentially setting up a freeze and zone you out of exp range with jungle pressure. If the wave is slow pushing to you, he will just crash the big wave to your side and harass you under tower. You should only back off once he hit level 6 with ult. After level 6, if his ult is on cooldown, and he missed his E, just run at him and all in him again with your full combo. He will never be able to kill you without E and ult.
If the illaoi is maxing Q and building AD your spirit can be killed pre 6
@@dmm119 But if you go in her she start fight with you and stop try kill spirit.

20:55 THAT FLASH WHATTTTTTT big brain moment right there holyyyyyy
Thanks man, great tips !
As a Illaoi main, i curse Shen to be nerfed.
The only real way how to win any lane is to use RIVER SHEN
nice video X petu! keep it coming
Very good Video! Keep it coming!
As an Illaoi OTP, I'm BURNING looking at EVERY CLIP of this video.
Everything is true, and Illaoi can't basically do much about those counterplay points, just bait ganks so the opponent feels forced to make a play because jgl is there and they both die.
i would love more of these how to play against videos, haven't seen that anywhere on TH-cam
Omg I was awaiting this video centuries ago and nobody had enough balls to record it, thank you so much!! Please take my money, either my body, what you prefer hahaha
It's so simple
Ilaoi is useless if you just... walk away... literally the worst champion in the game
Best*
true, totaly agree
But.... you still take damage while she doesn't take any damage. Even if you walk away the trade will always be in her favor.
Yeah, if you dont even fight her you won't take damage, just dont go to the top lane and you just beat her by not taking any damage
@@afikvardy2736 mad? :tf: ? Cant beat the worst champion in the game? Is there a problem? Get good at the game. And watch this video again, but with your eyes open and the volume turned up, might help you understand something.
Xpeto really wanted to show us his hand writing lol
I'm enjoying this new content btw :D I already know how to beat illaoi but your way of speaking is really fun so I'll always watch whatever you share!
i would love silence after you go to sleep
Great Explanation, thx👌
Perfect, As an Illaoi One Trick, now I know my weaknesses better and what to avoid
Really needed this
Petu this video is a fantastic , just after i watched it, guess what i played vs illaoi as shen and i stomped her , ever solo Lille her , it s really helpful . Best content ma man
Good content, you could have shown how to dodge multiple tentacles at the same time ( q and vessel hit). it was very entertaining and easy to watch. Keep it up (next aatrox could be a good review)
The most enterrrrrrrrrrrrrtaining youtuber on the platform :D
I needed this thx petu
Petu excellent video! you said everything I always tell people when they lane against Illaoi: she's a champ who's main power resides in waiting their opponent, she doesn't have any movement speed or chase potential, all her abilities are slow too. It's just a matter of thinking a bit.
Now what I really would like to watch is a How to beat Camille video. Seriously, that match up is hard as hell
Thank you for showing us the technology of geometrics, love u Petu amazing content and best technology as always
Really good guide thanks, thanks
