Farming
6.6Illaoi
5.6Skarner
Illaoi significantly out-farms Skarner by 0.9 CS per minute, accumulating an estimated 14 CS lead by mid game.

Damage
1,069Illaoi
764Skarner
Illaoi heavily out-damages Skarner by 305 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Skarner should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Illaoi's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
11,026Illaoi
9,989Skarner
Illaoi generates a commanding 1,037 more gold per game than Skarner. This substantial economic advantage means Illaoi consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
0.2Illaoi
1.6Skarner
Skarner brings significantly more crowd control than Illaoi, with 1.4 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Skarner far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Illaoi should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
1,676Illaoi
2,112Skarner
Skarner vastly out-sustains Illaoi, healing and mitigating 436 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Skarner can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Illaoi is forced to recall.
