Usually if you're AP you're gonna be ranged or have some form of CC with a couple exemptions like morde.

To OP.

Executioner is the easiest if you're playing any AD champion. Even If you're not the ADC, grabbing it even temporarily will give you some leverage. And while morello should be the go-to item for AP, take ignite instead and build something with AP+HP like RoA or Rylais. Zhonyas would be a risky first item because you'll get poked out and it's pointless to zhonya to delay your death if you have no way to outplay the situation.

All these are possible counterpicks that you can use to lane against illaoi. But it's always situational so don't expect to win at champ selection.

Gnar, gnar, gnar, Teemo, nasus, gangplank, darius, mundo, yorick, singed, swain, ryze, lissandra, sion, malphite, poppy, garen, trundle, gnar.

I probably missed a couple and this is just top lane. If im a midlaner and the opponent top laner choose Illaoi, I prefer to go veigar, ryze, syndra, annie, brand although it depends on your own lane and playstyles.
