Champion short description:

Illaoi is a champion who is extremely strong when the opponent runs into you and tries to fight you. In these situations, Illaoi can easily win a 1v3 or even 1v4. That sounds completely OP at first, but she is severely hampered by her low range, which is why she is very difficult to play in teamfights and is therefore definitely one of the split pushers.

Her strong laning phase makes her a lane bully, but she can also do a lot of damage in the midgame with a small lead. In general, there is only one playstyle with Illaoi and that is: push, take tower, keep pushing.

Description Skill Order:

Opinions differ when it comes to the skill order. Some Illaoi Mains swear by E max and others only play Q max. In our opinion, the whole thing is very dependent on the matchup. If you can constantly hit the E (e.g. in Melee matchups), then E max is probably stronger. However, if you’re playing against ranged champions or champions who can dodge your E very easily (e.g. Gwen), then Q max might be better.

Description of the build path:

Illaoi works like a normal bruiser. Since her healing is related to her damage, we have to make sure that we buy as much damage via AD as possible, but still have enough life to avoid getting geoneshotted in every fight. And this is where the classic bruiser items are best suited, because they combine these two strengths. Later on, you can buy one or two tank items when it comes to the teamfight phase.
