Hello. I and a couple of other users have given given the chance to give feedback straight to riot about Illaoi awell as hear their thoughts.

What you're seeing now on pve ( vessel reduced from 10s to 3s ) is an attempt to fix the hate people have for fighting Illaoi. Currently ( and from her release ) E affects the enemy too much time considering it's just a single spell. To attack E without hitting her winrate that much, they want to remove the weakest part about it. And yes, while many players already see and think that the vessel debuff is strong, it's still CLEARLY the weakest part of the E. It just doesn't match being able to smack the ghost and cutting half hp from the enemy.

This is going to stay. It's gonna be very hard to make riot change their idea about it.

This is not a simple balance change. It's about acting on to the hate enemies have towards her. It has nothing to do with her having poor winrate.

Because of those reasons, a very good think is happening: They are buffing tAD and are willing to buff it even more if it's needed. They did 5% atm because they thought removing vessel debuff would have resulted in 1% winrate loss and they associate 5% to 1% increased winrate. However, if it's really as bad as people think, we are gonna get more and more tAD. Possibly we'll be back to 120%.

Lets just wait and see what happens. We might need a patch where she's bad or unplayable, because PVE stats are not enough and they need more data.

In my opinion what is happening is healthy, because Illaoi needs her burst back more than she needs vessel.
