While Illaoi has a completely oppressive laning phase against many champions, I've found a champion that there is nothing that Illaoi can do against: Vladimir.

Despite her early game being strong and his early game being weak, Vladimir has all the tools needed to beat Illaoi. He can outsustain her with his Q. He can pool her Test of Spirit and her ult. Vlad is ranged and thus can kill the tentacles from a safe distance. As the game passes, Vladimir becomes tanky enough to not be instantly killed by Illaoi. She has no relevant CC thus there isn't much that she can do against him.

Maybe that's because I am a main Vlad, but I've completely stomped all Illaois that I faced, using him. Maybe I am wrong and I still not faced an extremely good Illaoi yet, but I've found Vladimir to be her hardest counter.
