How to play against Illaoi

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

In lane and in teamfights

1. Dodge E by moving backward or forward instead of drifting sideways in its line. Punish hard when it misses, then reset the trade.
2. Clear nearby tentacles before contesting the wave. Fighting inside her setup gives every short trade a second damage source.
3. Refuse clustered river fights when her R is available. Pull the fight out of her tentacles and re-enter after the zone expires.
4. Pressure her side lane with ranged damage and wave control. Avoid sending one melee target to duel her inside a stacked wave.
5. Disengage immediately when she presses R instead of finishing a trapped target. Re-engage after her team loses the forced zone.

Where Illaoi is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

• Illaoi needs enemies to fight inside tentacle zones, so disengage turns her strongest moments into wasted space.
• Her damage is slow and area-bound, making mobile or ranged teams difficult for her to force onto targets.
