"Illaoi is the worst champ in the game"
Illaoi proceeds to Pentakill the entire Bronze division simultaneously...
Sad part is, they always use bad players/plays to prove their invalid point, darius can lvl 1 kill an orn and they are clueless.
@@ELBoomerTV Darius is easily lvl 1'd and in silver/gold. I have no problem fighting him 1v1 any Champs that I play at all levels of leaning phase. They make valid points. Don't get hit by Darius outer q. You automaically lose the trade if you do. He gets a fat heal and lose a fat chunk. Don't go over extend in early trades unless you're at the point where you can straight murder him because his passive gives him dot PLUS huge AD steroid. Avoid these things and come out on top on each trade. If you are the one coming out with the most health on each trade, you will kill him or force him out of you repeat the process one or two more times. Easy concept.
@@WanganAsura Ghost/flash and stack passive with conq easy darius fb. The points they highlight anyone knows by simply reading the skill desc, the only diff between the firat dar and second dar in the examples they gave was the darius player himself not the orn at all, the cheese works fine in both cases.
@@ELBoomerTV I'm not saying it doesn't work, but the cheese only works if you don't follow these points. You only get run down with the cheese because you came out even on the trades and now you've overextended. The cheese does not work if you're in a winning position by winning the trades.
@@WanganAsura The 2nd darius didnt initiate any trade and that's the thing, entirely different situations. Plus the first orn was barely trading he ran back and darius didn't even use flash or ghost which guarantees the cheese to work even without a trade.
Me as a top laner: Oh! I know how to fight illaoi and darius now!
Team: Don't mind us. Just giving a friendly donation to Darius and Illaoi if you don't mind.
😂😂😂😂😂
As an Illaoi player we really need these donations, support your local enemy Illaoi today.
Yasuo wantsto know your location.
I makes me so angry, when I perfectly kite Darius and Illaoi player in lane, and dodging their shitt, but my team inting to them and giving them pentakills.
@@weldmaster9915 you know what a pentakill is right?
the worst part is that illaoi's voice lines shout for you to "learn!", and for a while it felt like she was taunting me... but no, you just learn and never lose again. It's that easy huh
She even says “MOVE!” from time to time and I still get hit lol
@@Kilesfactor the only champ who teach you how to counter her
This thread tho😂🤣🐭
Actually true if you think about it
shes a prophet after all a teacher,that's what she do
If I am top and see an illaoi, i go ez. I bully and stomp her with ez.
As a top laner i wouldn't be so silly to use a ban on illaoi, that's what dodging is for lol
Well now you're equipped with the tools to never have to again! Kill her tentacles when you can, dodge her E , run away if she uses R and you should be fine.
ngl, i only ban Sett or Mordekaiser cause I am a Jax main and their shield can be annoying in 1 vs 1. but if a Garen, Darius or Illaoi shows up in my match, I will take Vayne (don't judge me, constant kiting is one of the best and consistent way to counter champions like Garen, Darius or Illaoi (tanky, do damage, but immobile))
But that's even more of a waste when you can beat her with 90% of the top lane roster
@@professorfrog7181 tbh, i hate ranged top laners too, i only use Vayne if I have no other idea to counter enemy other than kiting. Other than that, Jax will always be my pick

Famous last words
Whenever I play Kindred jungle and Illaoi is on enemy team, she's a free mark every time it comes off cooldown. You can quite literally run circles around her and she can't fight back, and I'm not even a good Kindred player.
Actualy she was really strong before the season, she was a secret op but now the games changed too much cause of items, she is kinda outdated in animation way too slow.
There are too many champ that deal way too much damage both in burst and in dps and it often happen by the time you just try to E you are nearly dead you R boom die while animation... at least that happen if you pick illaoi carelessly into whatever champ and they do play a bit correct.
Items got another problems, is that its easier to build for many champ now but illaoi in a way got even worst, because before you could just take like 2 item and you were good, BC into DD for exemple and then whatever you need to flex.
But now all good effect are spread into many items so every item you finish with her doesnt gives you fully what you want or need, you allways have to make another item to complete your build and overall its never really have a good synergy.
You are somehow forced to full build around a bit of AD/HP items but generaly meaning that you will never have AR or RM, its really hard to itemise her properly now

Thing is, he's so fucking stupid because Darius is by far not a low elo champ XD
@@ibrahimjouni3458 well darius gets progressively weaker as the elo goes up so he is kinda a low elo champ :/

Can't fight a Darius? Lmao
"Illaoi is the worst champion in the game"
Me an Illaoi main
*sad tentacle noices*
A lot of the shit they say makes no sense.
"Darius is a low elo stomper" actually his win rate increases as you go up in rank.
"Illaoi E is extremely easy to dodge" Not if you're a melee champ. You can basically never fight her if she holds E properly and pokes you down with her ranged tentacle abilities.
I've literally been 1v3ed by a 0-5 illaoi before. Champ is definition of whats wrong with this game. Too much bs in the game designed for bad players to feel good. Like they keep saying how bad the champ is yet their only example is a hard counter matchup. Makes 0 sense. And their grandmaster example is clearly with an autofilled illaoi. I mean are you really telling me a top lane main in GM doesnt understand lvl 2 advantage? This illaoi never holds E either.
@@BalkanManic Illaoi e is easier to dodge than what you say. And without that ability she is absolutely useless

This was a REALLY GREAT idea for a new content type. I feel like I lose so much percentage in games because I just do not know what all 150 champions in the game are trying to do, so I just lose lanes I should have won because of lack of game knowledge. It would be great to see this same type of content for other low-elo stomper champions (Yi, Draven, Teemo, Zed, etc.) so I could have an actual game plan instead of just playing super safe and never going in because I lost the first trade at level 1 like the low-elo Ornn in this video.
The thing is, if you get smurf draven against you, you will lose and theres little you can do to change it
i would love content like that about zed and yasuo
That is honestly so fax about Champ info
Im a Cho Gath main and i can VIVIDLY notice when the person im fighting in lane has absolutely no fucking clue how Cho works LMAO
Its just lovely seeing people walk toward me at 50% hp and getting destroyed by a single button press
I've been saying this for so long. As an illaoi main, it is so difficult to explain to low Elo players why she is so bad, cause if you play incorrectly into her she seems over powered. thank you for making a video that says she is the worst champion so I can start proving my point
Got you bro, I play her mid a lot but ONLY into melee stacked teams.
As a Yi main, I understand your pain on a spiritual level.
no joke.... there's been soo many times I all-in late game and she ultis, then my team runs in after I bail to make her waste her Cooldowns. then she gets a double or quadra(NEVER IN BETWEEN), immediately a ff que or like thirty pings on me as i go to farm lol
I feel the same way, imma have to keep this in my back pocket in case someone argues otherwise
@@Mcbaze Not a fan of your analysis tbh. Choosing a game that the Illaoi doesn't win lane in, then analyzing that as if "there's nothing she can do in grandmaster" is pretty absurd.
Gold and silver players are going to share this like mad because it supports the notion of why they can't climb, not because your analysis is useful or well founded.
And sweet jesus your Illaoi winrate is 17% on your main??? What the fuck man
What i would need is also explaining how could that illaoi or darius (in high elo) win
usually, darius players cheese. They simply look for an unexpected bush to hide and run u down with ghost. U flash? jungler is there for 5 min. U dont? u die and get frozen till u ff
What the other guy above me said mostly. Juggernauts snowball really hard and can easily statcheck almost anyone if they get ahead. Laning phase is pretty much the only point in the game that matters right now because most matches are decided very early on, so if you can get an early lead on a champion who practically can't lose lane once ahead, it's gg unless some major fuckups happen elsewhere on the map. The introduction of Hullbreaker and Anathema's Chains just amplifies this. Basically all you do all lane is look for a mistake to capitalize on so you can get that lead, and then your job is pretty easy from there. If the enemy plays perfectly then a lot of matchups become impossible for a champion like Darius or Illaoi, but even in challenger there is NOBODY who plays perfectly, no one is a true robot. You just gotta be good at spotting very small and subtle mistakes since they won't make big mistakes as often as low elo players do.
In high elo u dont pick illaoi.She is decent till diamond.She has too many counters and u have to rely on team to carry u.Same goes for Darius.
@@jorohitrov8694 illaoi decent till Gold, I always lose with an illaoi on My team and I'm Plat 2
Darius players win in high elo because all of them are otp, it's impossible to main Darius and be consistent in chall, illaoi it's barely playable, if you understand how to play the laning phase properly she can't win
It also helps when the Diamond Darius ints misses and still goes in and gets hammered

I want Ezreal to say "You belong in a museum"
That second Illaoi was honestly playing her very poorly. She didn't even have her tentacles set up at lvl 1... like... what you doing boo?
Maybe leashing or fake leashing (although she should have still set up two Tenticles in lane beforehand)
But what’s the point of setting up tentacles lvl 1 when you can’t even defend them or use them?
@@humbertoangeles2720 they go into stasis if you walk away but dont disappear until a certain range and time has passed, so she can set them up if the enemy laner pushes into your tower
She really looked surprisingly bad. I'm a low elo Illaoi main and I NEVER would have approached the fight like that. Much of those Qs and Es were never going to hit and anyone familiar with Illaoi would have known that.
Been playing illaoi for 7 years, and i agree. Tentacle setup isn't any harder after leashing than it is without leashing either (some comment said it is). The high elo illaoi was most likely an auto fill or random champ choice or something. The only darius' I've lost against were smurfs lmao
Not only does it help people play against darius and illaoi, but it helps darius and illaoi players learn to play against everyone else, thanks
My worst nightmare in low elo is to get ganked by my jgl when playing against illaoi. I already knew how to play against her but my jgler always stays in e and illaoi r...
Literally this. I played against an Illaoi once as Maokai and my jungler kept ganking and feeding her. I added the Illaoi after the match and she messaged me "you like, just walked away when I ulted or hit you with E" "no one does that" "shit's wild"
Exactly, if you are a jg and gank illaoi after her 6 you are just down bad. Even if you gank you need to know she used her ult and her es cd is wasted
@@frangkiskosmelanitis6904 especially when jungler starts with a movement ability for a gank when you’re supposed to use it to walk away
Not going to lie, as a jg main, I've made this mistake a few times before when I started playing the game and was so confused on what just happened. I now know not to fuck with an Illaoi if her abilities are up.
Dirtymobs (a challenger Illaoi main) often explains in his videos that when a gank is coming in you always E the jungler because 90% of the time they are forgetting about her E and don't try to dodge unlike the enemy to planer who has spent the past few minutes trying to avoid it.
this guide is one of the best ive seen! he very well pointed out how you get forced to fight all the time in low elo. over time this also becomes the most frustrating thing about low elo since youre busy punishing mistakes all game long to the point where your not playing the game properly anymore.
i remember having to dump so many bad habits after i got out of silver/gold the first time, but only years later im starting to fully understand how i got them in the first place.
OMG a guide to play against certain champs, I needed this for many many more champs for example how to play against Shaco, Katrina, Senna, etc.
Usually I ban pub stomp champions so my team doesn't feed them. I've had too many mids/tops hard feed against something and lose the game because of it.
As an illaoi main this made me sad to watch because of how true everything he said was.
Never saw Illaoi as a strong champion except for her ultimate in team fights. Darius, on the other hand, is a real problem. But he is less of a problem now that the Stridebreaker dash is gone.
The darius matchup is considering he has tp not ignite and he is against the tankiest champion in the game- ornn.
The sad truth is that against any other top laner darius with ignite could actually 1 vs 1 them in their minion wave at lvl 1.
My mind automatically thinks of Gold as high elo so judging on that I'm almost totally safe from high elo rules so this will apply to pretty much every match I play. This also tells me why Veigar feels almost invincible for me in most of my games when I play him because the low elo thing gives Veigar a massive buff.
Veigar is op in high elo too
I especially love the "Here's a game from grand master, this Wukong STILL doesn't know how to fully counter Illaoi but he's getting there (This is still only middle ELO after all.)" mentality. I'm assuming Tryndamere isn't in this video because you should get past the levels where he is wiping teams so quickly that advice against him doesn't matter.
@@Reddotzebra Well I haven't really got past that point but I think in League if I spam ranked games now that I think I know some of what is holding me back I might be able THIS season to finally break out of my current rank...maybe not get to Gold but maybe mid Silver?
@@vapersmith7859 i got to gold by just focusing on getting prio and my farm up.
@@Reddotzebra tryndamere might be the single other champion as bad as illaoi
champ's so useless if he doesnt get 10 kills in lane lmao
"You can outscale him through teamfights easily". This can't be more wrong in low elo. I have no issue winning lane agains him, but he can pop off in teamfights even when super behhind and oneshot my team :(
he was never super behind if hes able to 1 shot your team.
@@I3leh lol go spectate a gold game.
people forget to dodge the outer edge, similar to when fighting Diana, where sometimes to dodge her you need to run up to her as a ranged champion, giving up on your range advantage then pulling back after that misses
Low elo players are cancer, I'm so glad I climbed out of the depths. The teammates are still retarded but at least they don't let Darius get 5 stacks then Q the entire team thus giving everyone 5 stacks.
Meanwhile Illaoi mains with the new split push item: looks like it only took me 15 minutes
Nice pfp

What people don't realize is that when Illaoi lands her E, you have two choices. 1) Stay tethered and take hits while she's at a safe distance, or 2) Walk away, get slowed and spend some time dodging/clearing tentacles. Both of these choices severely affects the point of laning phase. You're distracted and lose on minions. Illaoi hunkers down and makes you run away.
the problem isnt that I lose lane to Illaoi, its that my team is convinced that it is "all you can eat but the seafood eats you" day in top lane
Illaoi is a very macro demanding champion, who is punished severely if over extended and misses E. Map awareness of enemy jungle and mid roam is critical. The key to illaoi is to have strong discipline when using E, only using it when it is free to land. Knowing matchups is also vitally important for illaoi. Some enemy team comps she can 1v5 while not even being fed. She has a very rock-paper-scissors type gameplay when it comes to enemy team comp. The value Illaoi brings to the table is being able to starve enemy top lane of gold/xp, forcing ganks to be focused on her while your team extracts value elsewhere on the map
in other words, wait for the enemy to miss their key ability and auto win.
thats literally the same as saying tristana is the weakest champ when she has no E and we all know that she is one of the 4 powerful adcs
Except Tristana E is point and click whereas Illaoi E is a skillshot - and one that you have to stay in range for while she attacks it for it to be any use. Also , Tristana has mobility and a long-auto range, Illaoi does not. In a perfect scenario Illaoi can one-combo 90% of the champions in the game, it's your job to make sure that perfect scenario never happens.
nah, you just have to dodge one skill and the lane phase is yours.
Fun fact, if you have tr Illaoi curse on, this is a 100% way to do not being hit by the tentacles. Found a circular structure, as a tower, inhibitor, nexus, etc and then... just star walking around the circle. As it goes the tentacles only track your path once you activated his range, but if you still moves the tentacle doesn't change the trajectory
The fact that u can just walk away from illaoi when she ults is like the most obvius thing to do but my entire team always gets one shot in team fights by it cuz somehow they dont understand it or they just play with their eyes closed
As someone who started playing league like a month ago I thought illaoi was so much fun and so strong because she was the first champ I started truly stomping toplaners with. Now my soul is crushed upon finding out she’s the worst champ in the game.
Ive been playing the game years before illaoi was released and I thought till this day that she's OP. One of the only champs I dread playing against, this video and a certain high elo shen main's changed my mind but I guarantee that most low ELO people are scared shitless of illaoi
Illaoi is definitely a low elo stomper and I start crying to myself when I figure out that I have to toplane against an illaoi because just one tentacle slam and one fourth of my poor little Spartan man's health is gone
"Let illaoi miss her E"
Have you seen Illaoi's hit boxes.
I know I'm sounding like "that guy" but that really didn't look like a high elo Illaoi player. It looked like a high elo player trying to play Illaoi.
I'm no where NEAR that elo and I NEVER would have gone for several of those Es or many of those Qs. They were never going to hit and anyone familiar with Illaoi's animations would have known that.
Hell, even I know to back off the moment my E misses. There's no way they were familiar with Illaoi.
Yo i just came to this video and it literały covers the 2 champions i AM playing since i have begun playing 3 weeks ago
nice video bro really fun to watch and informative af. can you make more videos like that pls
Darius is strong just running people down. The window to win trades into is narrower than the average top laners IMO and that's why us low ELO players struggle.
It's apparent that many Illaoi players don't know her well. Last night our Nocturne was late to lane and missed a whole wave and still managed to run her down and kill her the moment Noc got to lane.
For us boys in eune that play with 50+ ping constantly illaoi e is way harder to dodge and i think that the gold wukong might have that problem too
My ping is constantly 180 stop crying
@@garethsentry is 180 the minimum in your entire region, or just you?
When I start playing GP I was thinking that Darius was a really bad matchup, later when I reach gold (yup I was bronze), I understand if he miss E he can't do nothing relevant. Even better was when I realized how his Q works, every time he hits E just move near to him, you have more chance to dodge her Q AOE moving near to him than tryin scape
It's crazy how champs that everyone in low elo hates (yes gold still low elo) are so weak when you understand how it works
Anyway I have so much to improve to deserve a decent elo
Really helpful thank you !!
I'm so glad you guys are covering this. Been trying to explain this to my friends for years now
Darius was nearly 2 years in every Tier List S or OP
Often with a high win Rate and only against 2-3 picks a winrate under 50%
With the recent nerfs to stridebreaker he dropped Out of s Tier

This video is a gem.Good job Skill Capped
Against Darius, its not the playing lane that is hard, its that my team does not know how to play against him in teamfights, and just bring him back into the game after he just Quadras them after being 0/7
I'm an illaoi main, and honestly more guides should be made like this. It's very easy to basically afk as illaoi against bronze/silver players. That shouldnt happen for a champion that's a one trick pony
Illaoi has always been a joke to me while playing fiora, I need to still learn the darius matchup but im doing my beat, this defo helps
That moment fast forward to S12 and Darius is a problem in high elo
I used to play illaoi mid a lot too (gold), and im curious to know how did you play her?
top with duskblade
now at top with phase rush, hullbreaker-stride-dd/sv-situational-situational
Definition of an OP champion:
"It requires more of your attention in order to defeat them".
It's not that "OP" champs are better by design, they just give you harder time to figure them out. And this is probably the hardest thing for low elo players. They don't focus and think deeply about mechanics. They just see spells, but don't think about cool downs.
I'm in silver and I always thought her strength was when you shoved into her because she had tentacles set up, and so I just kept getting hard shoved and never wanted a gank because if she lands her ult, her lifesteal and DMG is so so high. But this makes sense lol
I love playing Illaoi ( idk the reason ) but there is no match-up where I'm not scared to death . 1 gank from the enemy jg and Illaoi is basically a glorified minion in the laning phase .
I'm sure there are Darius otps higher than all the "analysts" rank
I mean…hector is a challenger player so…
I have two things to say. One related to Darius having that high BR and one related to title but they are related. I am not hight elo, I almost dont even play ranked games ( just placements to get silver with few games if I get bronze ) but I played few games against smurfs and even specifically against 160K mastery Darius main from D1 limit testing at draft ( I will never ever forget that game ). Ultimately I got destroyed but he ran ignite and I faced him with phase rush rune as Fiora and both times he soloed me, before I got camped by angry nunu, he himself almost died ( less than 1% HP left ), so I guess that I do pretty OK when it comes to micro.
Now here is the thing. Darius isnt necessarily banned because of LP but because of game experience and he is also one of these champions that lose to teamplay rather than individuals. Here comes second thing I think that its bit unfair saying that certain champions are noobstompers exactly for the reason of being noob as an opponent because as I said, there are bunch of champions that need teamplay to take them down. I have heart countless times from ppl at D2 and higher that Yi is busted and that they have no problem dealing with him at their own elo but its completely different thing when they are smurfing, especially when Yi himself is another smurf. So while I guess some champions are better at low elo simply because ppl are too lazy to read what their spells do, there are also champions who are held back by the fact that this is teamgame which at low elo is not inherently valid fact.
They dont require teamplay to defeat really unless they get fed. The problem with yi when smurfing or even in yout elo is that he always seems to get a random double kill at the start of every game and then even if YOU are playing properly someone will fuck up and die to him again and then he snowballs out of control.
I loved the video!! both the content and the editing, by the way, what resources did you use in the video to edit it that way?
My first main was illaoi… as soon as I reached silver she became unplayable. I got so frustrated by the lack of mobility after they changed stridebreaker that I started playing champs with a shit ton of mobility like Akali and Yone, the complete opposite while still being as cancer to lane against
Illaoi, 53.4% wr in silver. 22.6% ban rate
I mean, the common thread here with the "bad illaois" is that neither the low or high elo players understood or respected her weaknesses. Thats not illaoi's fault, thats the person sitting behind the computer's fault lol. Any self-respecting illaoi player knows full well what her weaknesses are and plays around them
It's not the top laners banning him, it's everyone else who knows not to trust their own top laner playing against him
preach
So can we get this kind of video for all the champs?
Can skill capped do a video on how people do game throwing mistakes without even knowing. But this time, focus on how much gold and experience they're missing out on. I literally saw the enemy Kah'Zix (jungle) get 2cs in 2 minutes. They walked passed gromp twice, walked pass krugs once.
nooooo dont tell them how to counter my mains :((
i used to get tilted when playing against darius then i learnd about renekton
it's just a braindead matchup lol
Unless they revert Illaoi E to the old one that had counterplay other than "just dodge it bro lol" I dont see a way for riot to buff her, E is just too toxic of an ability. The issue with illaoi is that her E is impossible to miss if YOU start the trade on her so it puts all the pressure on her to throw it out and miss it for her to be even remotely fightable as if you do go in for a trade before she wastes it you automatically lose unless youre playing some champ with like 11 dashes. My frustration with the champion is that if I dont have a jungler that ever comes topside before shes level 6, I usually just have to farm because she will NEVER throw her E if its not guarunteed by me making the silly mistake of trying to fight her at all ever, so the lane just becomes a boring uninteractive farm lane waiting for her to get impatient and throw E. If she does miss the E for whatever reason 100% shes not a champion anymore, although if they max it first its cd isnt really very long. Also "just run out of the ult" is fine advice but the damage it deals on the first slam is often enough to just straight up kill you if not force your recall. Basically I feel like youre misinterpreting why she is banned. She takes away your agency to win your own lane assuming she does nothing other than farm and only uses her E to punish youre aggressive plays so that she always wins. Whats worse is you dont ahve the same outscale in teamfights/1v1 win condition you have against darius most of the time as illaoi at all stages of the game can pretty much 100-0 you with a landed E and an R. If illaoi had any real way to actually teamfight against ranged champions other than hope they run into her tentacles she would be 100% broken and pick ban in every elo.
True bro I hope illaoi could beat ranged champ or simple in amtemafht the enemy just run always of his r
Just dodge lmao
Honestly yours is an interesting way to say "I can't win vs the worst winrate in the game"
@@WilliamFF9 if you read the comment I literally said they can't buff her because her gameplay is toxic, not that she is currently strong. You don't want to have a real argument tho you just want to accuse me of being bad. It's ok though you can project your insecurities on me I don't mind.
@@Sepulcherdk I get what you mean but shes a lane bully, shes meant to be strong in lane. Other lane bullies that can get in and out of e/ult range are meant to be her weakness (which is exactly what you described). Taking away the agency of you winning lane is what makes a lane bully strong.
7:45 illaoi seems to be so bad she is considered "a melee minion" lol
I started playing league about a month ago and kept banning Illaoi because I kept thinking she was op but damn matchup knowledge really goes a long way
When I play against Illoai she is by far the most "just dodge" champion. The windups are so slow it makes it so easy to dodge.
When I pick Illoai I have so much fun because it's so funny that they can't dodge the most telegraphed abilities in the game.
Aaaand then there is me. I suck at dodging her E even though I play her lol!
Darius is not a good champion - also darius: literallly S tier in every tier list
It's definitely strong in low elo because he's a great noob killer
@@skillcapped I see I see, personally I never banned him
@@skillcapped noob killer... in all ranked untill diamond. so 99% of players are noobs and this champ is bad.
Strange logic
@@FizWolf93 how is that strange logic? Darius is kinda trash tbh (just look at his winrate)
Darius only OP when there is a noob in your team which result for easy penta. But if your team are good, Darius can't dominate nor can't get 5 stacks.
As a kayn main who just started watching this, rhaast instantly came to my mind.
I remember the old days where u could fight illaoi back when she hit E as long as u also dodge the tentacles u will be fine and spirit duration will be lower
Ah yes , when illaoi was even worse
At what point does riot think that making annoying champions that are bad makes the game better
It's the same reason grocery stores stock esoteric products that actually sell for a loss overall - customers with individual tastes that prefer that item are more likely to come to the store and buy other products. In League, more people that like playing Illaoi or beating her will play the game.
As a Garen main, I still think banning Darius is justified (for this specific matchup). But Illaoi - it's all about dodging E/R and then going in.
not really. the garen matchup is completly different.
let yourself hit by her e. and let het attack the soul and before the tentacles slam into it walk out of the area and regen.
while its nothing to you cause of your passive she will run out of mana extremly quickly
and if you want to trade with her then uee your q to run out
a good illaoi wont even bother in trading against garen since how pointless it is and too expensive 😅😅😅
Against darius just dont trade early, you will outscale him once you max out e and get a few items. because garen has more burst than darius.
its sad because actualy garen is a counter to darius, i mean both can have upper hand but because of no mana garen and his passive you can just nullify darius damage if you trade smart
@Kai Nakrit lol wtf are those arguments ? using flash a 2+ minutes cd to counter the lane ? no its a one shot, passives ? yeah wait it end and regen. like i dont understand what you are trying to say here
@@Shiirya Garen is not a counter to darius. I remember Neace telling it's 60:40 for Darius.
To be fair, I generally don't have much problems facing illaoi, Darius scares me when I can't counter pick him as I already locked in a champion. I know I technically win if I don't feed the Darius, but I just often fall behind at some point (usually 1 or 2 deaths and some cs by the 20 minute mark) and it just feels like I can't win lane against him without my jungler helping.
what a great guide for a returning player. Salute!
Illaoi is useless champion. Sad thing is that riot wont give her good buffs even though she is weak for years
Yes and no. Illaoi is weak if all 5 players in your team know how to play her (which is why Illaoi is terrible in proplay) but in soloque most toplaners dont know how to counter her.
So if Riot buffs Illaoi the players who dont know how to play vs her will make her winrate increase to 55% or something like that.
she needs a early rework....something based on what tentacles actually do.
so a grab for enemy or terrain, fuck i dont know
the ability to open child proof jar?
Some heroes are "noob tube" by design. Having easy to learn/win with heroes at low level play and then they get wrecked at high level play.
please no its such aids to play against
@@aronlinde1723 thats hysterical because there r challenger annie mains, garen mains, even tryndamere mains, so no, wrong, theyre not shit in high elo or these ppl wouldnt be able to get there
Darius not op
Also Darius-“solo drake at lvl 1”
Ikr
I loved illaoi when she first came out... I stopped playing her after I was 5/0/0 and died to an ashe adc 0/5/1 in a 1v1 fight. No cc, no speed, and the "dash" of the w is shorter than all range aa.
The biggest illaoi counter: being a ranged champion. I actually decide if she's a good pick by looking at the enemy team and checking if they have less than 3 ranged champions
never had problems against theese 2 but again tnx for the info
Someone share this with Rito so Illaoi can get some timing buffs at least?
no
Buffing her would make her unbearable in low elo, she's a pretty cancerous design who CAN'T be buffed without negatively impacting the health of the game because her mere PRESENCE in a match lowers the quality of gameplay for everyone. The strongest counterplay to her is to just IGNORE her because you literally can't fight her ever as most champions and she can't do anything about you simply walking away, and that's not good design for the Illaoi player or her enemies... or her teammates for that matter. She just needs a rework.
pls no
@@GigaLigma WHAT? you only gotta dodge her e and that's it, get good
@@Jotakyy yes but noone likes the champ man,i know how to counter yas but l despize the champ cuz its annoying af,and also bruisers are way to op so no buffs needed
Why make a 13min video when the answer is as simply as "macro" and "skill"
I had a match when autofilled that was basically an exact copy of the low elo wukong illaoi match. I didn't know the matchup at all.
Nice Guide, did not know that illaoi is that bad bc i never See her
I Perma ban Sett i rather be able to all in then run for half the fighting sequence.
The nerf to Strides hurt Sett so much, maybe I'll finally be able to play him once in a while.
I'm an illaoi main, and i always counter her with yorick and it's free win for me haha. Idk about the other elo's
From a gold player :(
Yorick is really free. Garen is a bit less free but also very easy to beat her
@@wesleymartins5970 if she knows how to play against garen its free for her
@@RustingPeace In Illaoi mains subreddit, Garen is seen as one of the worst matchups.
You've just destroyed my dominance in Bronze as an illaoi Main, i had a dream to reach silver this year...
Oh you sweet, innocent thing. If any of those players actually listened to this stuff they wouldn't be in Bronze. You keep doing what works for you. :)
Bruh u can get silver with full AP thresh top if u want , if ur trash that's on you . If you need to become a slave to the meta to climb then you don't deserve the climb
This is so helpful. Years ago, my high elo friend that was smurfing on gold said the exact same thing that darius is pretty useless, explaining that if darius doesn't land his q properly his pretty much fucked. After that, I don't have a problem laning against even with a 200k darius main
ngl 200 k aint much
Darius is not weak after nerfs. He still counters a lot of peak champions like riven or nasus, or strong ones like irelia, fiora. Darius is banned because it makes the first 10-15 minutes of the game unplayable. You either lose hard or play even. You never win lane. And you want to be winning lane.
????????????
darius has a 35% wr against riven
nasus counters darius
darius wins against irelia
its slightly balanced into darius side against fiora
and his global winrate dropped in 4%
I'm pretty sure all the champs you mentioned can beat Daruis. Even nasus+sheen at lvl 6 beats Daruis. There are worst champions to fight toplane smh.
All Nasus got to do level 1-6 is just to chill behind his wave anyway, which is what he does vs 99% of all top lane matchups, so how is that any different to how he plays vs Darius? Once he gets his Sheen and is level 6, he can easily all in Darius though.
@@RustingPeace I don't remember @ you so idk what you mean.
@@natesaintjacques1074 get to many messages. am sometimes confused and write something that doesnt make sense
Finally, i never understood why people is scared of illaoi, just walk away, and shes useless
because no all characher have 3 dash heals slows and stuns
@@user-kx3li7xr2n i play mordekaiser and i just walk away you don't need to be fast or have a dash
It would be really interesting to watch a video like that teaching to play against Irelia. As far as I know, she's concidered to be bad in high elo and has a bad winrate overall.
Treat her like Jax, don't fight her with stacks up most other top laners can flat out just out damage her before her passive ramps up enough to win an all in. Keep trades short if you can't burst her she's very auto attack reliant so longer fights benefit her.
Idk... Even in diamond there are good irelia players. Play malphite or rammus into her and gg. Yes, rammus top.
When playing against an irelia, if she has any stacks AT ALL, don't fight 1v1. If she hits the stun, you're dead. If she hits ult, you're mega dead. If you don't reduce her to at least half hp before she gets all 4 stacks AND avoid the E and R, you're probably gonna lose. Then you'll also need anti heal items. Even if you're 2-0, if she comes back with a botrk, you do not want to 1v1 her unless she misses E or R and has 0 stacks. Yasuo plays well into irelia because windwall can deny the E and R, and even then it's still heavily in irelias favor.
I really wish y’all would do one of these about tryndamere 😂 he is my perma ban when I get filled top lane.
Same with my Yi and I'm plat 3. Its not that good of a champ why do people ban it
aha so to win against illaoi pick a more broken champ
I think the hardest part about playing illaoi is that she is completely rng. Nobody knows what she does, I don't, you don't, the pros don't even the devs don't. She was made by chat-GPT before that went public and riot never bothered to check the work. If you watch really closely at an illaoi main playing her you will notice a confused face as he's shamshing the keyboard, pressing random buttons and hoping they do something only to realize that he doesn't really know what they should be doing ! 😂😂
?
One time I played Senna top against Ilaoi :) this bronze but it was hilarious how tilted she was cause I just existed out of her range. (For those who dont know, Senna’s souls increase her range)
Illaoi is definitely not the weakest champion in the game. I have played a good chunk if her this season and as easy she is to punish if you dash on her whilst her e is down she is also really strong against dashless champions who can’t really capitalise on her missing e.
Yep. Aka almost every other juggernaut
