I'm gonna start off by saying I play Ahri and Akali and I'm pretty decent. How do you fight Illaoi in neutral? It feels like all her normals are long range, plus a billion frames and win every trade. And then when she hits you, you lose 50% HP and are in a corner with 3 Cthulu tentacles whipping you into submission. I could just use S1 when I'm Ahri but that's so unfun to me, and when I'm Akali I'm just screwed. Any advice for me that won't boil down to: "You're playing Ahri the best character in the game, just win.")?
