Lets look at the fact that Mordekaiser was made for the sole purpose of being a bot lane juggernaut, to the point of his other roles became complete trash. On release, he had insane sustain, a freakin' shield to stop the auto attack harrass he'd face, the ability to get a pet dragon, and was, most importantly, able to get the full benefits of a solo lane while having another person with him.

He was not underleveled, he was not weak to poke, and he was given damage that could completely burst tanks in compensation for being melee.

What would an Illaoi bot lane get over the regular adc? She would have shitty sustain on a dodgable skillshot, no way of reasonably gapclosing, and the e is at best 25% current health level one assuming the enemy can't stand behind minions, get out of range, dodge, or just prevent you from killing the ghost in the first place. Illaoi would also have to try and go damage and melt, or try and go tanky bruiser and just be subpar and underleveled. Her team will be pretty heavily lacking damage in most cases well.

It's a stupid idea worthy of bronze trolling, losing by default to any enemy competent enough to just last hit her tentacles and farm up to heavily outscale. Oh, that's another thing, the tentecles are pretty damn easy to take out if you're ranged. The idea could maybe work with a good Blitzcrank, but I hardly consider that a noteworthy achievement.

What kind of response do you expect when you call people's opinions stupid? By all means though, try it yourself. Maybe Illaoi will be op enough on release that you can somehow make it work.
