You are severely overestimating her. Yes her damage is quite potent and yes she has an oppressive laning phase. However, as an Illaoi player I have noticed that ost opponents eventually realize most of her abilities are incredibly easy to dodge. The size of the projectiles and the similarity to other champions makes it easy to forget that she has absolutely no CC, which means you will never be impeded from walking away from her poke.

Illaoi cannot actually engage on you as long as you keep track of tentacle locations either. Remember: Illaoi is someone who tests and teaches lessons. Every single piece of her kit is chock full of counterplay opportunities

Her late game especially is a double edged sword. If Illaoi can fight in the presence of three or more tentacles, she can and will 1v5 your entire team and leave half of you dead. However, even if she has her entire team behind her, if Leap of Faith whiffs or only strikes a single target, she will die instantly.
