26:24 Illaoi main here. If someone kills you AFTER you break the spirit, the tentacles don't spawn nor attack, as in theory, you "passed" the test of spirit. However if you die and your tentacles kill the spirits after, then they keep attacking.
thank u!! that helps a lot actually. ❤ if you don't mind, please, can u share your thoughts on that lethality build viability "irl"? if not good, could you suggest real core items/runes for her? like grasp or conq? divine, cleaver, death's dance worth it or too counterable?
@@farrrpa oops, didn't see the response! Sure thing! After the Duskblade nerfs, lethality has gotten a bit inviable. However it can be used if your team has a tank already, so you can go Duskblade, Cleave into Hull breaker. Cleave is an awesome item for Illaoi because of how her E works. If you use your E on a rammus with his W active, and his W turns off, you will deal MASSIVE damage to them. It's a pseudo true damage, kinda hard to explain. But basically, if the armor of an enemy gets lower than his armor when you pulled his soul, your damage will increase massively. So Cleave is a MUST on her despite the build. Hull breaker adds for a bonus survivability and the movespeed that she lacks. Now, onto the meta build. Personally I like going IBG rush into Cleave normally, or Cleave rush into IBG when fighting against tanks such as Ornn and Malphite. After that you can go Hull breaker and Sterak. Illaoi is a champ whom you don't need much damage to BURST someone, just a BC is more than enough, so you want to add into survivability. You can go DD on her too, and I personally only buy antiheal when against Warwick. I also take Grasp for good early games trades with W autoattack cancel, managed to snatch some good early kills and kinda makes her less reliable on tentacles solely. If you got any questions, I'll gladly answer!
@@andrewbryant4259 perhaps he does, but at this point I'm too far committed to change tactics now. I enjoy making silly comments about the vid's contents anyways.
Zwag, I recently just tested positive for c-19 and now I'm baffled that you even uploaded while you were sick. I can barely get out of bed without suffering from a huge headache, I can't imagine what it felt like to deal with both covid and hinting teammates lol, you're amazing
It hits everyone differently, plus there's different strain. He didn't have a good time, but he could function. When I got it, it was the lightest of head colds. Hope you feel better soon!
As Vortrex said, it hits everyone differently. For me, it was just a bad sore throat and that was it. I thought it was Strep throat until I was tested, and was told it was Covid.
@@alexanderzweber8453 You're 100% wrong. Every champion in the game has enough base armor that the value of the percentage pen at that point in the game exceeds the armor pen of all lethality items.
@@alexanderzweber8453 Edit: Sorry for the snippy replies. Rough week. I stand by what I've said other than the tone, though. You should've double-checked the order penetration applied in before spending the time looking at everything else. It's been like a decade since they changed percentage pen to apply first. Lethality wasn't even a thing yet.
this shows how much general game knowledge Swag has and how well he uses it. He doesn't really know Illoai's spells or how they work but he had a crazy good game.
He had a crazy good game primarily because he's playing in Bronze elo. One of the many problems in League is smurfing. He's contributing to it and profiting off it. Generally just not a fan of this because he's just ruining other people's games for his own profit. :/
@@ekitai1108 I mean, imagine trying to make content when your queue is 45-60mins long just for it to be a FF, remake, or getting someone afk... Because you know 45 min queue. He's talked about this in one of his videos before, wish I knew which one though. Probably explained it better than me.
@@casey8898 To be frank, that's just an excuse. Not a justification. He's making content at the expense of other players. You know why he can't make this content in higher elo? Because it doesn't work. He would just get stomped out. On top of that, he's intentionally antagonizing other players in order to elicit a response for content. There's a Reddit post that chronicles some of his attempts at "Content." He does this in ranked games to ensure the most enflamed responses because people tend to get more frustrated, the more there is on the line. It's a bad excuse. Plenty of ACTUAL high elo streamers stream on their own merit. He just won't get the views because he can't stomp out in his own elo. At this point, he's high plat, low emerald at best. He's only played one ranked game on his main account this season. He was Plat 1 first split. Even now, he's on twitch playing on a Bronze account.
@@EcnomicSuicide Ah yes. Getting stomped by someone who is playing a troll build will teach you so much. Also, you must have missed the part where I said he was intentionally antagonizing players for responses. There was one game where he smite stole 2 cannons in 2 separate lanes to antagonize his own team into AFKing. In fact, just today he said that he wasn’t going to make good content unless his team was losing and he’d 1v5. Thus he began flaming team mates to intentionally cause an AFK. What is he teaching again? Nothing. All he’s doing is attempting to make content at the expense of others. The lower elo experience is already bad enough without a washed up plat player going down to troll in low elo for “content.”
Idk if you know this but you can farm heartsteel stacks off of illaois clone. It’s an underrated build but I have personally seen it stack to over 3k heartsteel stacks
You should give tank Diana a try. build goes something like… frostfire gauntlet, sunfire cape, spirit visage, wits end, boots of your choice and force of nature, demonic embrace or Thornmail depending on comp. And either go conq, aftershock or grasp, I prefer grasp and conq but aftershock makes you pretty dang tanky, and you are very sticky to enemy champs and her 3 hit passive with wits end and sometimes demonic embrace makes her pump out some solid dmg.
Another great video, thanks again Zwag. I think you should try this on garen! You don't even need anymore lethality other than duskblade, axiom, and the collector. The rest should be up to the game. Enjoy the resets!
It would be awsome if when you make a video and get an idea from a viewer you put the comment and name the viewer that inspired the idea. Just a thought though, love the cool videos and i aspire to be good enough to be able to pull off crazy builds like this as well some day.
I think the brand may have positioned in the center of the base, between towers, warp gate, and inhib, so as to be too far from terrain to spawn tentecals.
The slow got moved from Duskblade to Prowlers during the patch that all those items were changed. That was not part of some recent adjustment patch #themoreyouknow
Just wanted to ask when playing seriously and not for YT mass entertainment is it better to go all att runes with att/lethality items or defense runes with att/lethality items or or :) att runes with defense items I tried various combos and always got deleted ... then again I also only exclusively play ARAM so depending on where others are it is 1v5 every time all the time .

They did that on for fun squad channel with 3 everfrost, morg cho and don't remember the third champ. Zwag has also done (I think) 2 max haste morgana builds for perma cc.

prowler slow was always a thing after it got turned into legendary item, ppl build it for illaoi so they can w and land E with the slow
Will you be uploading the Tank Illaoi vid? I'm interested in watching it, this was a great on though, don't see lethality being used on her too much
Zwag has the tier 3 TFT emote on first blood. didnt know he played tft that much
I've never seen a player get hit by more Illaoi tentacles than that Brand
Idk if you know this but you can farm heartsteel stacks off of illaois clone. It’s an underrated build but I have personally seen it stack to over 3k heartsteel stacks
he knows, he has done a video on that already
Also dark harvest stacks.. didnt know that tf?! 5:35
Very fun vid, Zwag!

frostfire gauntlet, sunfire cape, spirit visage, wits end, boots of your choice and force of nature, demonic embrace or Thornmail depending on comp.

i love Illaoi vids, GG
could you try navoris shyvana???
What about attack speed and damage sett? Punch like Mike Tyson.
He did both atk speed and lethality sett already.

What happened to sniper cait?
24:00 Jinx's ult did literally 0 damage but broke the shield
To be fair, tentacles slamming from zwag's side towards the brand's side dealt damage before slam animations were completed.

CDR boots are too good cause Rakan has high Cooldowns unless you really need Armor boots or Mercs depending on enemy
For runes:
Aftershock, Shield Bash, Conditioning, Revitalize or Unflinching
Eyeball and Ultimate Hunter (Consider taking attack speed rune for last hitting and most importantly Rakan's passive shield + Shield Bash so you will auto-attack people a lot)
