Theres really nothing you can do. Everything Illaoi is, is to create a zone of contention with her ult, the tentacles on the walls and her spirit grab are all almost irrelevant in the late game unless OTHER teammates hold enemies down near them.

Get caught or whittled down before you create your ult, and you can't do anything. You are a walking bomb to control a zone for a few seconds. The only reason enemies lose to Illaoi, is when they refuse to relinquish the area. Instead of leaving a teammate to die, they go all in on Illaoi and then ALL die. But when they dictate "No no, Illaoi you can have that" or the hostage manages to escape without help, Illaoi will be left standing alone rooted to a spot.
