I would say Vayne (lol if not permbanned in the current meta.) (And yeah, I haven't tried this out yet, but the guide above from Fleedling Hynekyn on how to counter Illaoi seems to fit the facts below)

She, when played correctly, is in mid and late game able to keep Illaoi at a safe distance with her E (that stupid thing that knocks you back and stuns you if you hit a wall)

Her W (that 3 hit passive that enables her to shred your health to pieces) will ignore any potential armor and even cut Illaois health by % true dmg of targets max health, so Illaoi building health won't really matter.

Her Q (Tumble) is what allows Vayne to dodge a lot of the skillshots thrown at her and even empowers her next basic attack (try to make that the 3rd W proc)

Vaynes R (Final Hour) triples her passive which makes her super speedy when moving towards visible enemies. The ult also gives extra 30/50/70 AD and buffing her Q with an instant stealth when used, making her moves more unpredictable.

Since Illaoi has no hard CC like Morganas Q etc. Vayne should be able to kite Illaoi pretty well, but don't get cocky as Vayne is quite fragile. In the early levels, Illaoi will probably also blow up your minions before you do.

Even though her E has a long cooldown you should be doing fine against Illaoi, if you're not totally behind from Vaynes awful laning phase, and you should watch out not getting too close when you Q (Tumble) towards Illaoi as it will enable the use of her Harsh Lesson (W slam dunk).

Another notion. Always (against anyone) Q diagonally towards/away from the enemy as you always are required good positioning, or else the enemy is the one who will do the shredding.
