Illaoi Mid and Late Game
What Illaoi does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.
Play to these strengths

- Side-lane pressure pays: Illaoi rates 94/100 for damage to buildings. Push a side wave while the team holds mid.
- Illaoi farms well (percentile 90): keep catching side waves between fights.
- Illaoi soaks damage well (percentile 87): stand between the enemy and your carries.
- Illaoi heals a lot (percentile 76): extended fights and sieges favor Illaoi.
Mistakes to avoid
- Vision is a weak spot (24/100): buy Control Wards and sweep before you face-check.

- Leap of Faith is best used to follow-up a strong engage or when being engaged upon. Be careful about being the first one into a fight.
Playing Against Illaoi
- Killing Tentacles whenever possible will make it much easier to win a fight against Illaoi.
