Just wondering, why not triforce over black cleaver? I've been building Triforce on Illaoi for a while now, and I haven't even bothered doing black cleaver. It's been successful in about every game, as it provides her the CDR, the movement speed buff, and on top of that, the juicy spellblade damage that fits so well with her W.

Is it because Iceborn is typically built instead, in tandem with cleaver?

I was wondering why you would max E first.

Just picked up Illaoi 'cause the Cthulhu factor is top-notch. Thanks for the guide!

Isn't Thornmail now better than Frozen Heart? You said you recommend FH because it's good against lifesteal adcs, but thornmail gives nice armor, a bit hp, reflects damage *and* stops lifesteal

Just had to say thanks for making the guide! Got S+ on my last match with 13/1/6

So why is it better to max E first, rather than Q?

I understand that this is still a work in progress(kinda), but can you add yasuo to the threats to illaoi section. Not that I have had any specific difficulty playing against him, but I have been seeing him played a LOT top lane recently.

Hey man, i was just wondering how the WIP was going? Busy refining the whole guide and stuff? Am just curious how it's going so far. i like the build so far man can only get better from here!

It's impossible to have Fest & Expose Weakness...the both only take 1 point. & you can only have 1 at a time. Curious as to what your Ferocity tree actually consists of :/

For the Irelia match up under "THREATS TO ILLAOI WITH THIS BUILD" section, you misspelled the word margin. Lol made this account just to let you know.

Perfect.

I see you have a rework in progress so not a critisism! But you could do with updating the skill order asap, W is a one point wonder now with the recent changes, making the CD flat 4 sec. Just thought I'd mention it as I just picked her up and have been building her wrong as a result.
