Melee champions aren't so effective against Illaoi, who can poke from distance with her E. Save your W if he is jumping to you. Play passive if you are camped by the enemy's jungler.
Akali
If you can constantly E her, then you'll have no problems.
Cho'Gath
Cho'Gath isn't played too much these days with one reason: not to effective in early game. Be careful of his R. It really hurts.
Darius
Melee champions aren't so effective against Illaoi, who can poke from distance with her E. Don't let Darius get his full passive on you and you will be fine in the laneing fase. Mid game and late game is much important HP then armor against him cause he gains that 45% armor pen. If you are aggressive early game, he won't be a problem for the rest of your team.
Dr. Mundo
Mundo is a beast at level 6 and you won't catch him too much, so play aggressive in early game and place some wards + pink wards to avoid the ganks.
Ekko
Doge his Q. When he use W he will engage on you. If
Fiora
Fiora is a big problem against Illaoi. Play passive and poke her with your E. Hopefully your jungler will gank for your and camp a little in the first few minutes (eg. level 2 gank).
Fizz
Fizz was a problem, but since his E got nerfed he is more exposed at risk. Don't play passive cause you will be stuck in laneing fase, but also don't go all-in.
Galio
Nothing about match-up.
Gangplank
Her ex-boyfriend is a good opponent. It's very hard to tell what to do. If he goes aggressive play passive. Ask your jungler for ganks and counter-ganks.
Garen
Melee champions aren't so effective against Illaoi, who can poke from distance with her E. His R is a mess so play aggressive before he hits level 6.
Gnar
Doge his bumerang and play aggressive early game. Ward the river and the tri-bush to avoid the ganks.
Graves
Doge his Q when the bullet comes back. Don't play around the walls cause you won't doge anything and his DMG is rly big if build armor pen, not DPS (damage per second, eg. critical chance)
Heimerdinger
Play aggressive, but not in his urrets range. Smash his turrets with your Q. Ward the river when you can and ask your jungler for counter-gank, because Heimerdinger don't do well in 2v2.
Illaoi
You will be faceing another Illaoi just in "Blind Pick". If you are tradeing right and take the "Corrupting potion" you won't have problems in early game. Hopefully your jungler is better then the enemy's one.
Irelia
Nothing about match-up.
Jarvan IV
Melee champions aren't so effective against Illaoi, who can poke from distance with her E.
Jax
Ban Jax! He is the real worst nightmare of Illaoi. If he goes "Tunderlord's Decree" he will combo E + Q + W you and take you more then half of HP. Play passive and wait for ganks. You can take "Quicksilver Sash".
Jayce
Nothing about match-up.
Kayle
Play aggressive early game, cause once she hits level 6, you won't do much in 1v1.
Kennen
Nothing about match-up.
Kled
Melee champions aren't so effective against Illaoi, who can poke from distance with her E. There aren't too much One-trick Kled cause he is a new champion, but your kit is better then his. E him when you start the trade, `cause if you are going to fight he might escape, so E him after he thinks you are done. You might want some CDR for this, so buy "Kindlegem".
Lissandra
Nothing about match-up.

Renekton
Melee champions aren't so effective against Illaoi, who can poke from distance with her E. Nothing more about match-up.

Riven

Satan is the worst nightmare for Illaoi's first players, but you shouldn't have any problem if you are tradeing right because Teemo has no mecanics.

Urgot
His R is annoying, but he is a pretty weak champion. Nothing more about match-up.
Vayne
Start with "Doran's Shield". Poke her with your E + Q(hit her and the spirit). You will do more damage then her, so go and trade if you have the chance. If she hits level 6 before you can do something, build defensive items
