// ABOUT ME //
Hi! I’m Petu and the purpose of my YouTube channel is to share my passion for League of Legends. I’ve climbed to Challenger 1200 LP on EUW and EUNE by playing Shen. I am currently studying Applied Mathematics and Computer Science in Finland. In my spare time, I enjoy running, basketball and disc golf. Thanks for reading this far!

Pro tipp: Don't hit the tenctacles while you are still affected by illaoi e, the next one will spawn and just hit you again. Fuck the 5 gold. You missed two minions because of that which are worth more gold. Feel free however to just hit them when you are not affected or fighting illaio.
Hi, xPetu 🤗! Very positive video as usual! Thank you, I enjoyed!
A very funny comment was about Karma – "oh, by the way, where did Karma go?"😂
Please…. how to beat Mordekaiser?
IF you're a real man, you would have to access to undying rage and have 5 seconds to kill her with Autos. Now if that doesn't work, GL.
so basicaly dodge everything – ok ez
have a team – ok not ez
ok, i'm fucking CRYING at 20:54 working
please, make one against irelia
i started playing her, just to understand how can she be fucked up- and i still don't get it, instead if I don't int, then I just stomp my enemy and become what I've despised XD!
i'm not even good at her, she is just fucking too strong
Does anyone know if Xpetu has covered “ hardest Shen matchups “ video
xPetu went from "Oh this guy is a Shen player, neat" to the guy I think of who does crazy Shen nonsense and has an absolutely fun time doing it. River Shen.
Petu this video is a fantastic , just after i watched it, guess what i played vs illaoi as shen and i stomped her , ever solo Lille her , it s really helpful . Best content ma man
how to beat irelia?
DirtyMobs match up?
Thanks xPetu TE AMO <3

If Illaoi can't kill your soul, no need to escape her E in my opinion. Because if her just one touch to your soul and you escape her E you gain a debuff. But you dont escape her E if she cant kill your soul, you not gain a debuff. I mean if illaoi is able to cant kill your soul you no need to escape her E
Tipp of the day: Watch xPetu and play Shen
I'm a Nasus one-trick. Illaoi is generally considered one of his WORST matchups, because she can punish you hard early, and unless she's really far behind, can actually always 1v1 you.
Yet, I unironically think she's one of the most fun lanes to play into. She's very Punishable when she messes up, and playing well against her is something you really feel.
I never understood the general hate-boner people get towards Illaoi, everything she does, or wants to do is so animated and obvious. Just don't play into it.
when illoai ult you, just draw a perpendicular line and gtfo 😂 😂 😂
Illaoi is just a skill check to see if you can fight while dodging
This is really nice. Any chance of a "How to Beat Darius" video? I hate that matchup.
You actually shouldn't even walk out of his E range in early game when you got hit by his E. Pre level 6 Illaoi doesn't do enough damage to you or kill the spirit, when you got caught with his E, if you know where the jungle is, and you know that your all in is stronger than his, if the wave state is in your favor (For example, if you are slow pushing at him, or the minion wave is not that big etc…), just run at him with your full combo for an all in while trying to dodge his Q like how xPetu described. He will usually back off because you out damage his E combo. Running out of his E is problematic because you might lose experience, which is a huge deal early game as a top laner. If he doesn't kill the spirit (which he can't do because he doesn't have damage pre level 6), you wouldn't even get slowed and tentacles wouldn't even spawn and hit you. If you missed exp, then he will definitely bully you with the exp advantage and level power spike. When you run back to cancel his E, good Illaoi will walk up and try to push you off the wave, potentially setting up a freeze and zone you out of exp range with jungle pressure. If the wave is slow pushing to you, he will just crash the big wave to your side and harass you under tower. You should only back off once he hit level 6 with ult. After level 6, if his ult is on cooldown, and he missed his E, just run at him and all in him again with your full combo. He will never be able to kill you without E and ult.
Xpetu nice video. Could you do more like this? Like, giving match up counters and tips. Sorry for my english jaja I hope you understand.
Just one thing: illaoi ghost counts as a champion for the effect of hullbreaker… So, when she Es you, you lose your bonus resistances(dont know if they've fixed it, but it was like this)
Easy win, dopamine rush and all, but she missed 100% tentacles, and still sucked 95% os Petu's HP. I hate this champ.
I don't know how to against her, because I'm usually the loser playing her.
I love how this works for any champ. Thanks xPetu
Am I the only one that didn't think Illaoi's an unwinnable matchup?
0:23 literally me the last video you explained how to play vs her xd is free matchup now
Unsung Hero for this!
For the algorithms.
Thanks for the vids 🙂
I get Illaoi pick in to my Sion alot. I usually try to be super defensive before first back, do some quick Q trade to trim illaoi down, shove or set up a slow push to my side, back for some armor then teleport into lane to freeze the wave to get level 6 first and go all in before she hit 6. there was one game that we failed a gank but I still can kill a 2/0 Illaoi with 0/1 Sion once I hit 6. After 1st base for armor whenever she land an E I trade try to charge Q at my ghost and the trade is usually worth it. I also like baiting Illaoi to Q on the minion wave so she always over push before level 6.
I don't know if you saw tilterella's video on the sion cheese, but I feel like shen could do the same thing and you could make a video on it :DDD
The thing about illaoi is that you have to dodge everything twice and you still might lose, there’s no other champ that commands that kind of respect in the lane phase. That’s in contrast to yasuo and irelia where even if they miss everything they still win because they managed right click you🙃
Straight up felt like a math class from college at the start of the video
Let's go Petu!
23:08 ITS OK KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Pls do sett and and morde next
Kinda not familiar with how u pronounce Trundle
I keep on hearing that hated name "Thranduil" from Lord of The RIngs.
Edit : This is why I don't play Shen. My eyes are spinning from looking everywhere else when Ult is up.
0:08 I mean, she can do +600 dmg from a E and some AA ;-;
love u pet
I don’t understand how any struggles playing against her like the counter play is probably more straight forward than any other match up in the game, you dodge the e if it hits just run away, if she ults just run away and boom illaoi is useless
Can you do other how to matchup videos? Like Darius, Sett, mordekaiser and Camille for example?
xPetu, i wish you could try conquerer/goredrinker shen build on top, been testing it on games lately and it's great for the 2v1 outplay potential shen mostly lacks, great for sustain in lane too when doing short trades with the e+q combo.
You fight Illaoi in her ult to assert dominance
Severely underrated channel.
men 4 days ago i could not carry myself from silver 5 0 Lp now i play only shen and follow every step of you and i just have 80%+ winrate last 20 games at silver 3 and climbing <3
Never before have I heard such an elegant way of telling people, just leave. Don't fight an ulting illaoi. It's that simple and you explained it so elegantly. Thank you, sincerely an illaoi/Shen player
